Welcome to Inside the Epicenter. In this special episode, we pay tribute to Dr. James Dobson, one of the most influential voices in American evangelicalism and family ministry. Host Joel Rosenberg, cohost Lynn Rosenberg, and executive producer Steve Reiter—who worked closely with Dr. Dobson for 15 years—share personal memories and stories from behind the scenes, highlighting his genuine faith, love for family, passion for Israel, and global impact. From his best-selling books to his pioneering radio broadcasts heard worldwide (even in China), Dr. Dobson’s legacy of biblical wisdom on parenting, marriage, and culture continues to shape lives. Join us as we honor his remarkable journey and the lasting imprint he made on generations of believers.

Verse of the Day: 1 Timothy 4:7 - I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race. I have kept the faith.

Pray for the Dobson family that they would experience God's comfort and peace during the season of great loss.
Pray for Christian leaders worldwide that they may lead with courage, wisdom, and integrity, and that they may follow the example of those like Dr. Jobson who have finished well.
Pray for the next generation, that young men and women would rise up with boldness to proclaim the gospel and to carry the mantle of faith forward into the future.
