Some very sad news for those of us who grew up in the ‘80s and ‘90s listening to Adventures in Odyssey.
Dr. James Dobson, the founder of Focus on the Family ministries, author of multiple influential books on family and parenting, and founder of Family Talk and the James Dobson Family Institute, has passed away at the age of 89.
A superstar in the conservative evangelical world for decades, Dobson's teaching influenced generations of parents and families.
From Dr. Dobson's website:
Dr. James C. Dobson, one of the most influential Christian leaders of the last half-century and a tireless advocate for the traditional family, passed away on August 21, 2025 at the age of 89. A psychologist, New York Times best-selling author, a Radio Hall of Fame broadcaster, and advisor to five U.S. presidents, Dr. Dobson dedicated his life to strengthening marriages, guiding parents, and defending biblical values by championing the central role of family in America.
His impact was felt by countless people over the last 50 years or so.
Rest in peace, Dr. Dobson. Well done.
