Death of John MacArthur and other renowned Bible teachers leaves leadership void.For at least 30 years, if you studied the Bible on your own or in a small group, you had a good chance of finding help from John MacArthur or Kay Arthur, both of whom died in 2025.MacArthur's expository sermons laid the groundwork for the growth of Reformed theology around the world, while Arthur inspired younger generations of women to engage in serious inductive Bible study. Their published and spoken words will continue to form Christians studying the unchanging, ever-dynamic Word. But MacArthur's longtime leadership of Shepherds Conference, Grace Community Church, The Master's University, and The Master's Seminary leaves a gaping institutional void.Voddie Baucham, who often collaborated with MacArthur, died unexpectedly in 2025 at only 56 years old. Another stalwart leader in the Religious Right, Focus on the Family founder James Dobson, died this year at 89 years old.For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

In this episode, we go beyond the sanitized headlines and Netflix documentaries to examine the Ted Bundy case you were never supposed to know about, including the suppressed files, the buried reports, and the institutional failures that allowed one of America's most prolific serial killers to operate for years longer than he ever should have.We begin with Bundy's troubled origins at the Elizabeth Lund Home for Unwed Mothers, his violent grandfather Samuel Cowell, his grandmother's severe mental illness and electroconvulsive treatments, the family secret that made him believe his mother was his sister, and the chilling incident where three-year-old Ted placed butcher knives around his sleeping aunt's body while smiling.We examine the haunting case of eight-year-old Ann Marie Burr, who vanished from her Tacoma home in 1961 when Bundy was just fourteen years old and lived less than two miles away with a paper route through her neighborhood, and we discuss why the 2011 request to compare Bundy's DNA to evidence from that case was denied because his biological samples had been destroyed.We explore Bundy's work at the Seattle Crisis Clinic from 1971 to 1974, where he sat beside future true crime author Ann Rule taking calls from suicidal individuals while perfecting the manipulation techniques he would later use to lure women to their deaths, and we reveal his own admission that he learned how to sound caring even when he wasn't.We dive deep into the mathematics of murder and why the official victim count of thirty to thirty-six is almost certainly a fraction of the real total, with some investigators estimating the true number could exceed one hundred, and we examine the lost years between 1969 and 1973 when Bundy traveled extensively and left virtually no documented trail while young women matching his victim profile disappeared along the East Coast.We expose the systematic failures that allowed Bundy to keep killing, including Elizabeth Kloepfer's five separate reports to law enforcement that were ignored because detectives dismissed her as a hysterical woman, the nine months it took Utah authorities to arrest him after Carol DaRonch escaped his car with a handcuff still attached to her wrist, and the cross-jurisdictional catastrophe where police departments in four states refused to share information with each other. We reveal the truth behind both escapes, including the suspected accomplice inside the Aspen courthouse whose personnel file conveniently disappeared, the 1976 jail inspection report that identified the exact security weakness Bundy exploited in Glenwood Springs, and the fifteen-hour head start he received because holiday weekend staffing cuts reduced cell checks from hourly to every other hour.We uncover Bundy's carefully buried political career as a rising star in the Republican Party, his work on the Rockefeller presidential campaign, his security clearance to serve as a driver and bodyguard for Governor Daniel Evans, and how the party quietly scrubbed his employment records from their archives after his arrest.We examine what the jury never heard about the Chi Omega massacre, including how the bite mark evidence almost didn't exist because the attending physician failed to photograph the marks before they faded, the discrepancy in Nita Neary's eyewitness account that the defense never challenged, and the troubling theory that Kimberly Leach wasn't an aberration but a return to Bundy's true preference for younger victims. We analyze the death row interviews and the information Bundy provided about dump sites and victims that was never followed up by law enforcement, his manipulation of the Green River Killer investigation for his own benefit, and how his final interview with James Dobson blaming pornography contradicted everything he'd told forensic psychiatrists for years.We discuss the mystery of Carole Ann Boone's pregnancy on death row and the evidence that guards were bribed to allow physical contact during visits, the discredited science of bite mark analysis that formed the foundation of his Chi Omega conviction, and why the destruction of Bundy's DNA samples has prevented closure for families across the country whose daughters disappeared during the years he was active.We close with the questions that remain unanswered, the dump sites that were never searched due to budget cuts and political pressure, the hitchhiker victims along Interstate Five that were never officially linked to him, and the uncomfortable truth that many of the same institutional failures that allowed Bundy to kill for years still exist in our law enforcement system today.This episode contains discussions of violence, sexual assault, and crimes against children that some listeners may find disturbing.

In this episode, we take an unflinching look at one of the most notorious serial killers in American history. Theodore Robert Bundy murdered at least thirty women across seven states during the 1970s, and his case forever changed how we understand the nature of predatory violence.This is the complete story of Ted Bundy, from his troubled beginnings to his final moments in Florida's electric chair. We open on a summer afternoon at Lake Sammamish State Park in Washington State, where a handsome young man with his arm in a sling approached woman after woman, asking for help with his sailboat. Two of those women would never be seen alive again, and their disappearances would mark a turning point in one of the largest manhunts in Pacific Northwest history.The story begins in 1946 at the Elizabeth Lund Home for Unwed Mothers in Burlington, Vermont, where a young woman named Louise Cowell gave birth to a son she could not publicly claim as her own. We explore the elaborate family deception that followed, with Ted being raised to believe his grandparents were his parents and his mother was merely his older sister. We examine the household dynamics in Philadelphia, including accounts of his grandfather Samuel Cowell's violent temper, and we follow the family's cross-country relocation to Tacoma, Washington, where Louise would eventually marry a hospital cook named Johnnie Bundy.From there, we trace Ted's development through childhood and adolescence. We look at his struggles to connect with peers, his early fascination with violence and true crime, his nighttime prowling through neighborhoods, and the petty thefts that taught him he could take what he wanted without consequence. We follow him to the University of Washington, where he reinvented himself as a charming political operative and met the wealthy young woman whose rejection would send him spiraling into darkness. The heart of this episode chronicles Ted Bundy's years of murder. Beginning with the attack on Karen Sparks in January 1974 and the disappearance of Lynda Ann Healy just weeks later, we document the wave of terror that swept through the Pacific Northwest as young women vanished from college campuses and public spaces. We cover each known victim, the circumstances of their disappearances, and the desperate efforts of investigators who were working without the benefit of modern forensic tools or computerized databases. We examine the critical turning point at Lake Sammamish, where multiple witnesses saw the same man approaching women and where a composite sketch finally gave investigators something to work with. We reveal how Ted Bundy's own girlfriend reported her suspicions to police and how his name was lost in a pile of thousands of tips.The narrative follows Bundy to Utah, where he enrolled in law school and immediately began hunting again. We cover the murders of Nancy Wilcox, Melissa Smith, Laura Aime, and Debra Kent. We give particular attention to the attack on Carol DaRonch, the young woman who fought back and escaped, providing investigators with their first surviving witness who could identify her attacker. We then trace the crimes into Colorado and Idaho, documenting the murders of Caryn Campbell, Julie Cunningham, Denise Oliverson, Lynette Culver, and Susan Curtis. We explore how investigators across multiple states were slowly beginning to connect the dots, recognizing patterns that suggested a single killer was responsible for disappearances spanning thousands of miles. The capture of Ted Bundy receives detailed attention, beginning with the routine traffic stop by Utah Highway Patrol Sergeant Bob Hayward that revealed a car full of disturbing items. We cover Bundy's conviction for the kidnapping of Carol DaRonch and his extradition to Colorado to face murder charges.Two full chapters are devoted to Ted Bundy's escapes from custody. The first escape came when he leaped from a second-story window of the Pitkin County Courthouse in Aspen, leading authorities on a six-day manhunt through the Colorado mountains. The second escape was even more audacious, with Bundy sawing through the ceiling of his cell and walking out the front door of the Garfield County Jail on the night of December 30th, 1977. We follow Bundy to Florida, where he committed his most violent attacks. The Chi Omega sorority house massacre is covered in detail, documenting how Bundy killed two young women and severely injured three others in a span of minutes. We also cover his final victim, twelve-year-old Kimberly Leach, who was abducted from her junior high school in Lake City just weeks later.The legal proceedings receive thorough examination. We cover the groundbreaking Miami trial, one of the first to be televised nationally, where Bundy represented himself and was ultimately convicted based on eyewitness testimony and forensic bite mark evidence. We also cover the subsequent trial for the murder of Kimberly Leach and the failed insanity defense.The episode concludes with Bundy's nine years on death row, his eventual confessions to investigators, and his execution on January 24th, 1989. We examine his final interview with Dr. James Dobson, in which he blamed his crimes on pornography, and we consider the complicated legacy he left behind.Throughout this episode, we keep the focus where it belongs, on the victims. We name every known victim and honor their memory, reminding listeners that behind the sensational headlines were real women whose lives were cut short by a predator who exploited their trust and kindness.The Ted Bundy case fundamentally changed American law enforcement. It contributed to the creation of the FBI's Violent Criminal Apprehension Program and helped establish the modern science of criminal profiling. But perhaps its most important legacy is the warning it provides.Evil does not always announce itself. Sometimes it comes with a warm smile and a request for help. Trust your instincts. If something feels wrong, it probably is.

This year, four remarkable men passed away — John MacArthur, Voddie Baucham, James Dobson, and Charlie Kirk. A bold expository preacher, MacArthur defended the Lordship of Christ and the true Gospel for 56 years, refusing to close his church during the COVID-19 lockdowns. Baucham, another lion in the pulpit, championed Scripture's teaching on the sufficiency of scripture, the centrality of the church, social justice, male headship, family-integrated churches, and much more. Dobson called Christians to prioritize and protect their family life. And Kirk — martyred at 31 — fearlessly proclaimed his faith on college campuses, urging young people to reject the world's lies and embrace biblical manhood and womanhood. With their passing, the work now falls on us to continue.

On today's edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson talks with his dear friend about the life lessons the Lord has taught her.

On June 6, 1944, over 150,000 American, British, and Canadian troops stormed the beaches of Normandy to liberate the people of France during World War II, a day now known as D-Day. On today's edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson shares personal memories from his visit in 2010 to the Normandy American Cemetery in France, where 4,400 Allied soldiers are buried.
