Back in 1988, while going through a difficult time, I began listening to Christian radio, hoping to find something to help ease my mind. I came across Dr. James Dobson’s show, and found a man who was well-spoken and kind (but strong), and unwavering in his Christian beliefs. Listening to his show led me to other Christian radio shows that were very helpful, such as Dr. D. James Kennedy’s Truths That Transform, and through that I began hearing that Jesus Christ had died for my sins. I realized that that was how bad my sins were (to require the death of the Son of God to pay for them), but also that that was how much Jesus loved me, to die in my place. It completely changed my life. I became a Christian in the fall of 1988, and my life has never been the same. I gained much, in many ways, from listening to Dr. Dobson’s show, and from other aspects of his ministry over the years. I still look back at the impact he had on me, and remember that my “coming to the Lord” began with him. I would love to know what he sees now, being in Heaven with Jesus. May God bless Dr. James Dobson’s legacy and the ongoing ministry of the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute.
