Dr. Dobson’s Last Day

As I noted yesterday, today marks the last day that Dr. Dobson is at Focus on the Family (read more here). And today’s broadcast is the final time Dr. Dobson is in studio while still at the ministry. Of course, he will be back with us to share with listeners about his new book, Bringing Up Girls, which is slated to be released in mid-April. Today, though, we’ll go back through the years — and also look ahead.

Earlier this week our broadcast staff gathered in “Studio A” for a private time with the Founder, going back over the years and memories we’ve enjoyed as we’ve worked for and with Dr. Dobson. This team knows him as well as any other part of the ministry might, probably better than most. Our working relationship with Dr. Dobson has involved numerous urgent, important projects…situations in which we had to hammer out a creative, excellent broadcast on a tight deadline with no room for error. That kind of “fire” forges strong friendships and enables a group of people to draw near to each other in ways that forced “team development” cannot. The room was full, and we could have talked for hours. As it was, we did have about an hour to reflect, think through some of the highlights, and laugh about some of the really humorous moments we’ve shared. It was a rich time, and we concluded with prayer, surrounding the man who brought most of us to the ministry, directly or indirectly (several on the radio team have been at Focus for more than 20 years). The tears caught up with several of us, and it was a gracious gift from God to have that opportunity for closure to an era.

    There’s no way to know how many families have been impacted deeply by Dr. Dobson’s ministry. I feel like he is a member of my family. I heard this on the radio the other day and had to come today to look for more info. I thank God for Dr. Dobson’s ministry and pray for the projects he’s working on in the future!!
