Let the Buyer Beware - I

As consumers, we are bombarded with sales pitches and ads that play on our subconscious, which can cause us to make bad financial decisions if we’re not privy to these marketing ploys. On this classic edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson talks with author and financial expert Dave Ramsey about the marketing schemes that threaten our fiscal stability. He shares his experience of becoming a multimillionaire by the age of 26, and how he crashed and burned by the time he was 30. We were foreclosed on, sued, and finally were bankrupt! Dave also shares how he and his wife were given a chance to start over and how they received a new life in Christ after hitting rock bottom.

The Eclipse of God - I

Many would not refute that our country has become unrecognizable and that our culture is unraveling before our eyes. Today on Family Talk, Gary Bauer talks with Dr. Erwin Lutzer, author and pastor emeritus of The Moody Church, about his latest book, The Eclipse of God: Our Nation’s Disastrous Search for a More Inclusive Deity (And What We Must Do About It.) Dr. Lutzer explains that we need a fresh vision of who God is and not the God we just wish He was.
