In a culture that tells us to look inside ourselves, speak our truth, and just be ourselves, the Christian narrative is a beacon of truth and light. Jesus calls us to deny ourselves and find our foundational identity in him. This refocus leads to an abundant life. Rob Jackson, a licensed counselor with Focus on the Family, shares what a healthy identity, sexuality, and purpose look like.

Dr. Bob Paul, vice president of the Focus on the Family Marriage Institute, explains what marriage is and shouldn't be in this discussion with Dr. Jeff Myers which may surprise some people. He acknowledges that one of the reasons young people of faith today may not want to wed is tied to the poor examples provided by some older married believers – who fail to let God direct their marriages in the righteous way he wishes. "The most common reason for divorce is 'irreconcilable differences,'" Dr. Paul explains. "But differences are never the problem in marriage. They are designed by God on purpose with purpose" to help us grow our character and Christlikeness as individuals who then help our spouses do the same.

The stories we tell ourselves and believe shape our goals, priorities, and what the good life looks like. Throughout the Gospels, we see Jesus telling others about the truth through stories and examples. He knew that to transform individuals, they must see themselves as part of the Christian grand story of reality.
Kevin and Sam Sorbo join Dr. Jeff to discuss the centrality of storytelling and how it profoundly influences culture and individuals. They share the tremendous work they’ve been doing in producing quality films, books, and podcasts that are unafraid to share the truth and God's vision for a flourishing life.

For eight years, beginning when he was still a college student, Jameson Broggi worked tirelessly to get the South Carolina state legislature to pass the Reinforcing College Education on America’s Constitutional Heritage (REACH) Act. Signed into law in April '21, the REACH ACT requires all South Carolina college students to take a three-credit-hour class on the U.S. Constitution, Declaration of Independence and the Federalist Papers to graduate.
He and Dr. Jeff Myers discuss why he pushed so hard for the legislation and the impact it can have. "People aren't born knowing these things," Broggi says. "They must be taught and learned." And when they are, as Dr. Jeff explains, the results can change the electorate in a generation. In South Carolina every year, about 21,000 college students now take a class on America’s founding documents because of Broggi's work. And other states are currently considering similar legislation.

Glenn Lutjens, a marriage and family counselor at Focus on the Family, talks with Dr. Jeff about the way in which he offers wisdom to couples rooted in caring for their bodies, minds, souls and spirits. He explains how psychiatrists like Sigmund Freud championed an approach that removed the spiritual focus from the equation and why doing so has often resulted in incomplete and insufficient assistance being offered to couples struggling in their marriages. Restoring the spiritual element to counseling couples, he explains, allows both husband and wife to embrace their God-designed roles as spouses.

In this second episode in which he recounts his visit to Israel in the midst of its war with Hamas, Dr. Jeff Myers unpacks the complexities of subjects like just war theory and what Christians can do to help restore peace to the land where Jesus lived. He explains that Hamas attacked Israel not to achieve a military objective, but to achieve its long-stated goal to eradicate its enemy nation and notes how Israel engages the conflict from the exact opposite position: seeking only to defend itself while limiting civilian casualties when at all possible.
He points out that Gaza, ruled by Hamas, has received 15 times the aid it cost to rebuild Europe after World War II and says believers need to understand the motives of Hamas and how they are driving the brutal war or they risk being part of "a conspiracy of ignorance."

In this special episode, Dr. Jeff Myers recounts details from his recent trip to Israel with a group of multifaith leaders amid the nation's war with Hamas. He explains why he was flummoxed by research that shows the rising generation knows Hamas is a terrorist group, but still sympathizes with its attack on Israel because of Palestinian grievances.
He also speaks movingly of visiting the sights of bombings and burnings and seeing horrifying images or the murders of Israeli citizens and says he felt it important to experience because "In order to teach truth well, I have to immerse myself in an experience."
He summarizes his trip as making crystal clear a truth we all must understand: The attack on Israel is not a geopolitical conflict but a geotheological one, in which those who stand for a biblical worldview have been attacked by those who stand against God.

How, as followers of Jesus, can we be in the culture but not of the culture? We know that our allegiance is to King Jesus, however, this does not mean we should ignore the culture around us. We are to live as sons and daughters of God's light (Ephesians 5:8) in a world filled with darkness.
But how do we properly discern how and when to engage with cultural movies, stories, songs, or topics? Listen in as Dr. Jeff talks with Adam Holz from Focus on the Family's Plugged In. Adam is the director of Plugged In and cares deeply about navigating the culture wisely as Christians.

God intends the humanity in each of us to be deeply experienced, lavishly enjoyed, and exuberantly celebrated. In fact this is what the gospel is all about.
Yes, the gospel. Contrary to conventional thinking — inside and outside the church — following Jesus is not about denying our humanness but embracing it. Rather than acting more spiritual or being more religious, we’re called and enabled to become more fully human… and alive. Listen in as Dr. Jeff Myers and Matt Heard talk about what it looks like to follow Jesus and embrace being truly human.Listen to every episode of the Dr. Jeff Show wherever you listen to podcasts.

Author Natasha Crain knows a biblical worldview is a rarity in the U.S. today—with just 6 percent of Americans possessing what qualifies as such a framework for living. She exhorts that remnant in her book Faithfully Different to boldly stand for what the Scriptures proclaim as truth. A good place to start, she says, is by combatting the four lies that feelings are the ultimate guide, happiness is the ultimate goal, judging is the ultimate sin and God is the ultimate guess. "We can't judge what's true by people's reaction to it," she says. To learn more about Crain, visit www.natashacrain.com.

Theologian, analytic philosopher, apologist and author Paul Copan answers the questions about God's character that Christians often get from nonbelievers looking to paint God as violent, misogynistic and racist. The author of Is God a Vindictive Bully? explains in this wide-ranging conversation with Dr. Jeff Myers that to get the full insight into God's goodness requires us to read Scripture in the context of both its cultural time and its literary genres. "God is not wrathful in spite of love," he notes. "He's wrathful because of love."
