Focus on the Family - Dr. James Dobson
About the show:
It's time once again to return to the magical land of Narnia. If you're a fan of author C.S. Lewis' epic fantasies, you're probably looking forward to the upcoming release of The Chronciles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, the follow-up to the 2005 blockbuster film The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Today's broadcast is sure to whet your anticipation, featuring a visit with the new film's co-producer, special guest Douglas Gresham. Gresham tells the story of how he became C.S. Lewis' stepson and describes what moviegoers can look forward to with the May 16 release of Prince Caspian.
"I think that our team has done a fabulous job in producing [Prince Caspian] which I think, cinematically, is a better movie than The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe - and I think The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was a fantastically good movie. So, I think everyone is going to be thrilled when they see this film." - Douglas Gresham

No Fairness in the Fairness Doctrine
Focus on the Family - Dr. James Dobson
About the program:
Congressional Democrats are seeking to reinstate the so-called "Fairness Doctrine," a 1940s-era regulation that required the nation's TV and radio broadcasters to offer airtime to opposing viewpoints on controversial issues. Many of today's conservative talk-show hosts and Christian broadcasters say this latest proposal is an attempt to silence them. If a Christian radio program offered a biblical perspective on homosexuality, stations would, under the Fairness Doctrine, be compelled to offer airtime to a pro-gay point of view. Today's broadcast presents a closer look at legislative attempts to restrict freedom of speech, as well as a recorded message in which President George W. Bush discusses his intention to veto any bill that would silence conservative voices.
"By insisting on so-called 'balance,' [proponents of the Fairness Doctrine] want to silence those they don't agree with. The truth of the matter is, they know they cannot prevail in the public debate of ideas." - President George W. Bush

How Should Christians Respond to Homosexuality? Part 2
Focus on the Family - Dr. James Dobson
About the program:
Most Christians have heard the phrase, "hate the sin but love the sinner." Unfortunately, many homosexuals feel like evangelicals hate them as people because of their behavior. How has the church gone wrong in responding to the gay community? Author and counselor Joe Dallas cites examples as he admonishes believers to repent of their hostility towards homosexuals. Dallas also describes how Christians can achieve a proper, balanced approach of showing Christ's love to gays and lesbians while still declaring the biblical truth that homosexuality is a sin.
"The gay and lesbian community is looking to the church for some verifiable evidence that we love them as we say that we do ... [that we] value them as people, not just as objects to be converted." - Joe Dallas

Keeping the Faith
Focus on the Family - Dr. James Dobson
About the program:
The Bible admonishes Christians "to contend earnestly for the faith" (Jude 1:3), yet as Chuck Colson traveled around the nation, he was alarmed to find that many believers were unable to explain the fundamental tenets of Christianity. The bestselling author addresses this problem with the recent release of what he says is one of the most important books he's ever written: The Faith: What Christians Believe, Why They Believe It and Why It Matters. Colson talks with Dr. James Dobson about basic Christian doctrines and why Christians must return to them if our nation is to ever experience a much-needed spiritual revival.
"[The church] doesn't know what it believes, or doesn't believe what's it's been taught to believe. So if that's the case, we can't live it, and even more serious, we can't define it to the world." - Chuck Colson

Under Fresh Attack by Courts: In Defense of Home Schooling
Focus on the Family - Dr. James Dobson
About the program:
A California state appellate court ruled last week that it is illegal for parents in the Golden State to home school their children without the appropriate state teaching credentials. If this ruling stands, home-schooling parents could, in effect, become guilty of a criminal offense. Find out how you can oppose this chilling decision, which Dr. Dobson calls "an unprecedented assault" on parental rights - one that could have nationwide consequences. Joining Dr. Dobson are public policy expert Carrie Gordon Earll, Michael Farris of the Home School Legal Defense Association and Roy Hanson of Family Protection Ministries. You'll also hear from a California home-schooling mom whose right to make educational decisions for her children is now under attack.
"At the heart of this case is a distrust of parents." - Michael Farris

The Value of Full-Time Mothers, Part 2
Focus on the Family - Dr. James Dobson
About the program:
The feminist movement has convinced many women that the only worthwhile occupation is one that involves climbing the workplace ladder. When a woman chooses to be a stay-at-home mom, she often finds herself at odds with friends, neighbors and society at large. Today's broadcast, however, is designed to encourage stay-at-home moms and assure them that their job is just as meaningful and of far more lasting value than any corporate career. Listen in as author and speaker Jill savage talks about how moms should draw their value from God, not from how others might view them.
"God wants to partner with us as we navigate the waters of parenthood and marriage. ... He wants us to know our value in Him, and He wants our self-worth to be based upon His perfect, unchanging, stable love for us, not the imperfect changing lives around us." - Jill Savage

The Value of Full-Time Mothers
Focus on the Family - Dr. James Dobson
About the program:
So what do stay-at-home moms do all day? Sleep late, watch soap operas and surf the Internet? Hardly! Author and speaker Jill Savage describes how more women today are choosing to forsake the corporate world, why critics don't view parenting as a "real" job and why staying home with her children is often the most fulfilling career choice a woman can make.
"I would like to raise motherhood to a higher level in everyone's mind. I'd like for us all to consider it a valid career choice, and I'd like to call it what it is - a profession." - Jill Savage

Families of Victim, Colorado Gunman Speak on Focus on the Family
ATTENTION: This program's material may not be suitable for young listeners.
On a cold Sunday morning in December, 2007, Matthew Murray arrived at New Life Church - not to attend services, but to carry out a dark and sinister plan. Murray opened fire in the church parking lot, taking the lives of Stephanie and Rachel Works, 2 teenage sisters, before ending his own with a self-inflicted gun wound. The parents of the victims, David and Marie Works, with Dr. Ronald and Mrs. Loretta Murray, the parents of the shooter come together in a compelling program as they discuss the tragedy and extend to one another a heartfelt expression of God's grace, love and forgiveness.
"[We have been] praying for the day we would be able to meet with the Works family and express our deep sorrow over what happened, and the great loss of their daughters at the hands of my son. And they [have been] gracious enough to extend their hand of friendship, love and forgiveness to our family." - Dr. Ronald Murray
