31. The Devastation of James Dobson

TRIGGER WARNING: CHILD ABUSE AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

On August 21, 2025, Dr. James Dobson of Focus on the Family died. A behemoth and kingmaker in the evangelical world who supported vicious corporal punishment of children, the subjugation of women and the demonization of the LGBTQ community.
Today we discuss the life and career of James Dobson. We will open up about his teachings, books, and his evangelical power machine: Focus on the Family. We will discuss how his teachings overlapped with Bill Gothard. The same teachings that allowed Bill Gothard to groom and abuse of teen girls and young women.

Focus on the Family purported to be a wholesome counseling service but was the power arm of an evangelical force affecting policy around marriage, equality, and torture like conversion therapy. They even falsely claimed to be a church to evade taxes because... of course.

We break down destructive teaching by pulling it out of the darkness and into the light. So as we shine a light on these harmful organizations and doctrines, lets destroy them for good.
