Focus on the Family began in 1977 in response to Dr. James Dobson's increasing concern for the American family. From a two-room suite in Arcadia, California, Dr. Dobson began with radio-a 25-minute weekly program heard only on a few dozen stations. Focus on the Family has since become an international organization with more than 74 different ministries requiring nearly 1,300 employees. On the now-daily broadcast heard on over 6,000 facilities worldwide, Dr. Dobson still explores family issues, usually with one or more recognized experts as guests.
Dr. Dobson's method attempts to "turn hearts toward home" by reasonable, biblical, and empirical insights so people will be able to discover the founder of homes and the creator of families: Jesus Christ.
