I am so sorry to hear about Mr. Dobson’s passing. Yet I cannot imagine the heavenly reunion that accompanied his entrance into heaven. I have probably read 40 of the 70 books he wrote. He was my go to reference on raising my children, discipline, marriage relationships, and living a godly life. He was one of the most influential writers in my life! I know he will be missed all over the world by hundreds of thousands of people. I look forward to personally meeting him and having a face to face chat when I too reach my heavenly home. My prayers are with you all. God Bless.

I was privileged to attend “The Institute” in the summer of 2000. This was a pivotal moment in my life as a college student. I’m so thankful for Dr. Dobson‘s vision to create that program. My worldview was solidified during that summer and many of the things that I learned I have taken with me into my marriage and family. That summer was a true gift. I will forever cherish the memories I made there, one being sitting in Dr. Dobson‘s famous office chair where he posed with me for a picture. He was as genuine and kind in real life as he is on the radio. Well done you good and faithful servant!

When I was a young mother, navigating the joyful yet often overwhelming journey of raising children, I found a steady and encouraging voice on the radio—Dr. James Dobson. Every day, his words poured into my heart like a lifeline. Through his wisdom, compassion, and unwavering faith, he reminded me that I wasn’t alone. Dr. Dobson wasn’t just a broadcaster or an author to me. He became a mentor from afar, someone who deeply understood the sacred calling of motherhood. He encouraged me not just to raise good kids, but to raise godly ones. To hold fast to my faith, even when culture pushed against it. To trust that God was shaping both me and my children, even in the chaos. Dr. Dobson’s voice was a daily reminder of God’s grace, and his legacy will live on in countless families—mine included—who were strengthened by his message. I thank God for the gift of his ministry, and I pray that the seeds he planted in hearts like mine will continue to bear fruit for generations to come. Well done, good and faithful servant.

To live is Christ, to die is gain (Philippians 1:21). I believe that Dr. Dobson fulfilled this statement. And, helped many others to strive for this. Dr. Dobson has been a firm and faithful presence for godly families in our society for my entire life. His books and radio programs helped, along with the instructions I received from my parents, to understand my role as first, a believer in the work of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross, then as a godly wife and mother to our daughter and son. And now, to be a godly “Nana” to our grandchildren.

I started listening to to his radio show from the beginning. My husband and I went to the parenting video series at least 3 times. We read the books and raised our kids according to Dr. Dobson’s teachings. We learned about homeschooling when Dr. Dobson introduced Dr. Raymond Moore on his program. We were some of the earliest homeschoolers and our family benefitted from that greatly. We now have grandchildren and a great granddaughter. Thank you Dr. Dobson for obeying God’s call on your life! God has used you greatly in our family and so many others!

Thanks for the opportunity to share. My husband and I were married in 1973. We were not Christians but received Jesus as our Savior later in the year. In 1975 we had our first baby, 1976 our second. Both boys. I was listening to a new Christian radio station in our area at that time. It was WHLO 640 and heard Dr. Dobson for the first time and was hooked. I was a faithful listener and ordered cassettes tapes for others to listen to. I was listening when he was part of the Committee on Pornography for Pres. Ronald Reagan. I was informed about what an abortion was and that the unborn baby is a human from conception and became active with our local pro-life movement. I listened and learned about how the educational system was changing and how to get involved with the local school district. I can’t remember the name of the speaker that the Dr. had on the radio at that time but he was from California and I invited him to come and speak to over 100 people about monitoring what our children were being taught. I read most all his books on raising children. By then I had 3 boys and 1 daughter. I read about raising boys. I told my peers that my children were raised by Dr. Dobson. I still tell people that. I have given my children books by Dr. Dobson to raise their children by. Dr. Dobson has had a profound impact on my family and the families that my children are raising. I praise God for him and his obedience to God. I am 73 years old now. He will be greatly missed. I am thankful that he is in the presence of Jesus now. “Well done my good and faithful servant” has to be the words he heard as he entered the place Jesus prepared for him. Condolences and prayers for the family and friends.
