Dobson Talks with Sarah Palin

Today on Focus on the Family, the Republican vice presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin talks about her family, the sanctity of human life and the pressures of the election season.  Dr. James Dobson encourages listeners to pray for our country as the election draws near.

Listen to the Interview by clicking here.

The Boston Globe reported:

Sarah Palin told a high-profile conservative Christian leader that she isn’t discouraged by the Republican ticket’s sagging poll numbers because she and running mate John McCain have been underdogs all their lives.

“I know at the end of the day, putting this in God’s hands, the right thing for America will be done at the end of the day on Nov. 4,” the GOP vice presidential nominee told James Dobson, head of Focus on the Family, who interviewed Palin by phone Monday in Colorado. The audio of the interview was posted online today.

“To me it motivates us. I’m not discouraged at all,” she said.

During the interview, Dobson declared himself a “big fan” of Palin and said he was praying for her. “I’ve never seen such hatred,” he said of what he called personal attacks on her and her family.

Changes in Evangelicalism

You can now listen to the Wheaton Alumni Symposium. The panel was Mark Noll, Nathan Hatch, and John Piper. They discussed changes in Evangelicalism over the last 40 years (the length of time since they all graduated from college).

It begins with a 10-minute intro from each; then there’s some discussion among themselves; and it closes with some questions from the audience.
