One year ago today, Dr. James Dobson entered his heavenly home and heard the words, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” On today’s edition of Family Talk, we’ll honor his remarkable legacy by revisiting a conversation recorded with Todd Starnes at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention in 2017 to commemorate his decades-long career in broadcasting. During that time, Dr. Dobson reflected on the humble beginnings of his ministry, the answered prayers that sustained it, and his lifelong passion for pointing families to Jesus Christ.
