Focus on Focus on the Family

The radio program Focus on the Family has gone from a small, local broadcast in 1977 to its current global status as the preeminent organization "dedicated to nurturing and defending families worldwide." Along the way, FotF and its founder, Dr. James Dobson, have evolved their family-oriented mission to include politically charged opinions and actions geared toward affecting national policy and debate. This blog seeks to observe, examine, and discuss these messages.

Statement of Purpose

The purpose of this blog is observe, examine, and discuss the various subjects and issues of organizations whose stated purposes are to assist the family; provide advice on subjects related to the family; and to promote and defend the family through political change and influence on government policy. It is not to ridicule or denigrate the beliefs and people of these organizations. For the purposes of discussion, this blog assumes the premise that God exists, but it does not assume that God exists to make tax cuts permanent and to spread democracy across the middle east.

It is the hope of the author(s) (and hopefully the reader(s)) of this blog that by examining and approaching these subjects and issues from a skeptical, but open perspective, we may learn something about communication and encourage thoughtful consideration and debate amongst people from many backgrounds and beliefs.
