Some 40+ years ago, my mom was divorced and struggling with her teenage kids who were addicted to drugs, skipping school and quite frankly, juvenile delinquents. It was through Dr. Dobson's Focus on the Family broadcast that my mom found daily encouragement and hope in Jesus to keep fighting for her family. Dr. Dobson's wisdom and assuring voice was her lifeline! She learned to intercede for her kid's wellbeing and salvation. Today, I am a walking miracle of those prayers. I am serving Jesus and married to an incredible man doing student ministry together. I personally feel I would not be alive today had my mom not listened to Dr. Dobson. My heart is full of gratitude knowing how many millions of families Dr. Dobson & Shirley touched through the years. What an incredible legacy and now Dr. Dobson is part of the great cloud of witnesses in Heaven. I would imagine he would tell us "throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith." Hebrews 12:2 Bless you Dr. Dobson and Shirley!
PreviousMay God comfort you all. As I raised my children (my daughter is a principal, my son is a pastor) I listened to Focus on the Family driving to and from work. I also listened to Adventures in Odyssey. And I read Dr. Dobson's books. Reading the Word and listening to Focus day in and day out encouraged me to stand strong on the Word. (I've been a single mom since 1984. I'm now 79 years.) What a longtime witness to the nurture of the family. Thank you all.
