Dr. James Dobson's Family Talk - What the Bible Says About Being a Man

About this episode

Dr. James Dobson discusses biblical manhood with David Jeffers, exploring his life experiences and insights from Scripture.

True biblical manhood isn’t defined by career success — it’s forged in the Word of God. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson talks with David Jeffers, a retired Army Master Sergeant, and author of Man Up! What the Bible Says About Being a Man. Jeffers shares his remarkable journey through divorce, military service, and the loss of his son in combat. He also reflects on how Scripture recalibrated his understanding of godly manhood.
