Welcome everyone to Family Talk.

It's a ministry of the James Dobson Family Institute, supported by listeners just like you.

I'm Dr. James Dobson, and I'm thrilled that you've joined us.

Well, welcome to Family Talk, the broadcast division of the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute.

I'm Roger Marsh, and today we are sharing a deeply moving conversation about faith, loss, and

God's unfailing faithfulness even in life's darkest valleys.

Today, Dr. Dobson's in-studio guests are Frank and Jan Harrison,

and they're going to walk us through their journey of losing their 27-year-old son, James,

while he was serving as a missionary in Sudan. Though James' death was sudden and devastating,

the Harrisons share how God's tender mercy carried them through their grief and brought unexpected beauty from ashes, as Scripture would tell us.

Their ministry, Open Eyes, which began with James' work in Sudan, has now grown to support over 2,000 pastors across 18 countries since his passing.

Now, on our last edition of Family Talk, Dr. Dobson was talking with Frank

and Jan Harrison about how their son James devoted his life to ministry work in Africa. Today,

the Harrisons will be opening up about receiving the heartbreaking news of his passing,

and they'll also share how God's faithful presence helped them navigate their deepest grief

while continuing James's

legacy of reaching the unreached. Whether you're walking through your own season of loss,

or maybe you're supporting someone else who is, today's conversation will offer hope and practical

wisdom for the journey. Most importantly, it reminds us that even in our deepest pain,

God remains faithful.

Well, let's pick up where the story left off on our last edition of Family Talk,

as Dr. Dobson was talking with Frank and Jan, and they had just heard from the U.S. Embassy that their son James had passed away while ministering in Sudan.
