He was 89. His passing was confirmed by the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute.
For more than four decades, Dobson shaped evangelical thought on marriage, parenting, and family life. Trained as a child psychologist, he first gained national attention in 1970 with his bestselling book Dare to Discipline, which promoted a model of firm yet caring child-rearing.

With profound sorrow yet deeper gratitude, we at Protestia mourn the earthly loss of a man whose legacy towers across the landscape not merely of conservative, reformed evangelicalism, but the universal church as a whole.

(Matt Vespa – Townhall) It’s over, folks. President Trump and congressional Republicans aimed to pass the reconciliation package by July 4, and they succeeded. It was a tumultuous journey, as there were more than a few Republicans who tried to make a spectacle, causing unnecessary drama throughout the procedural phase, but it’s now over.

The border was secure, and it will remain safe.
