According to Dr. Owen Strachan, over the past 50-60 years, America has symbolically been breathing a thickening toxic air that has been attempting to choke out the life-giving breath of God’s Word. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Gary Bauer concludes his inspiring and hopeful discussion with Dr. Strachan about the absolute necessity for an infusion of pure oxygen of God’s grace and truth to be breathed into our darkening society once again. 2 Corinthians 3:17 says, “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” 

In our society today, we battle so many dark ideologies such as “wokeism,” the transgender movement, the war on masculinity, and the sanctity of human life.

Yet in the midst of all this chaos, we can take courage in the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Dr. Strachan reminds us of this great hope and introduces the new Dobson Culture Center. Matthew 5:16 says, “…let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”

Pastor Duane Miller was forced to take a sabbatical for three years when a virus damaged his vocal cords, prohibiting him from talking above a whisper.
