Breaking: Dr. James Dobson, one of America’s most influential evangelical leaders and a
former adviser to President Donald Trump, has died unexpectedly at the age of 89. He passed away Thursday morning, leaving millions mourning his loss.

Dobson was renowned for his best-selling books, international radio programs, and unwavering promotion of family values.

For nearly five decades, his teachings on morality, marriage, and parenting shaped conversations across American homes, churches, and politics.

In the 1970s, Dobson founded Focus on the Family, which quickly grew into one of the most powerful Christian organizations in the United States.

Through it, he provided faith-based guidance to millions and became a trusted voice in the evangelical movement.

His influence extended to the political arena, where he advised multiple U.S. presidents, including Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump. Supporters say his ability to connect faith and public policy made him one of the most significant cultural figures of his time.

Gary Bauer of the Dobson Family Institute reflected on his passing: “Dr. Dobson was a mentor, a counselor, and a steady voice of truth in turbulent times.” Many others echoed this sentiment, calling him both a spiritual leader and a cultural trailblazer.

Dobson also built a lasting legacy through his writings, with books that sold in the millions and radio broadcasts that reached listeners in over 100 countries. His message consistently emphasized the importance of faith, perseverance, and the central role of the family.
