Dr. James Dobson Family Institute
About Dr. James Dobson Family Institute
The mission of the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute is to help promote the institution of the family and the biblical principles on which it is based and to seek to introduce as many people as possible to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Within the Dobson Family Institute, we have several divisions of ministry including –Family Talk, Marriage & Parenting, Policy & Culture Center, and the Dr. Dobson Minute. The focus of these ministries is to encourage and equip families to live out their Christian faith within their homes and communities. We accomplish this goal is through our daily broadcasts, heard nationally on numerous radio stations and other digital platforms, as well as podcasts, Bible plans, blogs, and social media posts. The flagship program 'Family Talk' consists of a daily talk show discussing a variety of topics for families, including child-rearing, marriage, policy/culture, family finance, medical and psychological issues, and family counsel.
