Well, hello, everyone. I'm James Dobson, and you're listening to Family Talk, a listener-supported ministry.

In fact, thank you so much for being part of that support for James Dobson Family Institute.

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

I'm Roger Marsh, and on today's program, we are going back in the archives.

We're going all the way back to 1984 for a powerful conversation Dr. Dobson had with a dear friend of his, the late Dr. Luis Palau.

Now, Dr. Palau went home to be with the Lord on March the 11th of 2021 at the tender age of 86.

He went to heaven after a three-year battle with lung cancer. Dr. Luis Palau was an amazing man.

Actually, born in Argentina, he immigrated to the United States where,

at the age of 19, he hosted his own Christian radio program and then served as a Spanish-language

translator for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. He held crusades, much like Billy Graham did,

and he was much loved by all of us and by millions of other people the world over.

As a matter of fact, Dr. Luis Palau and Reverend Billy Graham were very, very close friends,

and they were friends right up until Mr. Graham's death, and now he and Luis Palau are joined together again in eternity.

What we're going to hear today on Family Talk is a broadcast that actually

is the first introduction and interview Dr. James Dobson had with Dr. Luis Palau. As I mentioned,

this was recorded back in 1984. He was invited in by Dr. Dobson to do a radio program with him,

and boy, they did. They talked for a couple of minutes, then they walked into the studio, and they recorded

so much material that it wound up becoming a two-part conversation that aired and really

resonated with people all over the world about Dr. Palau's life, his ministry, and evangelism.

So we will hear the first half of that conversation on today's edition of Family Talk,

and then we'll hear part two of this discussion

on the next edition of our broadcast.
