We began listening to Dr. Dobson around 1982 as young parents of three children. Dr. Dobson provided encouragement, counsel, and discipline for our hearts as we endeavored to raise our children in the admonition of the Lord. Once Dr. Raymond Moore was introduced on one of the radio broadcasts, we made the decision to homeschool our children. For the next eight years, we attended homeschool events, read recommended reading lists for homeschooling families, and learned a great deal from those early broadcasts as to how to homeschool and train and teach our children. Homeschooling was a brand new thought in the early 1980s but was a direction that worked well for our children for a number of years. Having the courage to step out into unknown territory was provided by Dr. Dobson and Dr. Moore. Thank you for fighting for the unborn and your unwavering commitment to the helpless and downtrodden of our society. You have provided leadership, you spoke for millions who had no voice, and you never stopped fighting for life. Dr. Dobson's humility, kindness, leadership, and vision for hurting families have helped countless millions. Our family is just one of those countless numbers of people. We will always feel Dr. Dobson was a part of our family. His books, radio broadcasts, guests, and vision for helping hurting families have made an unmistakable impact on our lives. We are forever grateful for his life and dedication to Jesus. Thank you, Dr. Dobson, for living life so well for us to watch, learn, and listen. You will be sorely and deeply missed.
PreviousDr. James Dobson became my counselor in 1977. My husband and I married in January 1977 and I listened to his programs and followed him from then on. He was there for the trials of marriage and difficulties of family. He was there with child rearing and the challenges of sibling rivalry. He was there when I needed prayer and I could call their hotline and tell them of an immediate need I had like when I found out my son was choosing a homosexual lifestyle. Dr. Dobson was there. He was there when we had a sudden loss in our family and I was reeling and trying to understand how I was to go on. I am so grateful for this ministry and for the man that carved out the niche that ministered to all of us and sought to follow God‘s ideal. Thank you, Shirley, Danae, and Ryan for your sacrificial support of your dad and your husband. He shall be missed by all, but I know that there’s a gaping hole in your family and you are in my prayers. Thank you for sharing him with the world.
