#17 Doubts. Depression. Disease. – Ryan Dobson

Summary

Growing up in a loving, Christian home as the son of the renowned Dr. James Dobson, I always had a foundation of faith. Yet despite having every resource at my disposal, I wrestled with deep doubts, crippling depression, and relentless health challenges like ulcerative colitis. There were times I felt completely overwhelmed—losing my job, my home, and even facing a painful divorce. I vividly remember the crushing despair and the moments when I questioned everything. But then, through experiences like being pushed to go surfing when I was at my lowest, I encountered a renewal that reshaped my life. That moment on the board, when the cold Pacific washed over me, was a turning point—it reminded me that even in our darkest hours, God is ever-present. Today, as I share my story, I stand as living proof that no matter how many hardships we endure, God’s grace is sufficient to restore our hope and lead us toward a purpose that is far greater than our own.

Interview with Ryan Dobson.

Ryan Dobson grew up in a loving, Christian family. His father was Dr. James Dobson, a famous Christian author and speaker.

Ryan was surrounded by everything he could need to pursue a vibrant relationship with God, yet Ryan would have to walk his own path to know God personally.

Despite many hardships and trials, including doubts, depression, and disease, Ryan is a living testimony that God will never leave our sides.

#26 From Abortion to Abolition – Jill Robbins

Summary

I was only 17 when I experienced a traumatic abortion that shattered my self-worth and sent me spiraling into a life of self-destruction—engaging in drug use, promiscuity, and enduring deep emotional pain. I felt abandoned by those around me, convinced that I did not deserve love. In the midst of this darkness, God reached out and transformed my entire life. Through a powerful encounter with the gospel and a profound personal awakening at a Christian conference, I discovered that true healing and restoration are possible. Embracing baptism and the cleansing power of Christ, I began to rebuild my life. Today, I share my story not only as a testimony of personal redemption but also as a call to oppose the culture of abortion. My journey from abortion to abolition is a constant reminder that even our deepest wounds can be healed by the love and forgiveness of Jesus.

Interview with Jill Robbins.

At the age of 17, Jill Robbins had an abortion. It was highly traumatic and was unfortunately only the beginning of a self-destructive lifestyle she pursued for years.

Jill became involved in drugs and promiscuity, which, in turn, resulted in the rapid decline of her mental health. Jill’s life was falling apart until she found the only One who could put the pieces back together again.

Summary

I share my journey from a dark past filled with sexual abuse, substance abuse, and a rebellious lifestyle—living a double life in Detroit and Hollywood—to the moment of radical transformation through Jesus Christ. In deep despair, I cried out to the Lord and received a window of sanity that led to a life-changing conversion. Through His redeeming love, I was able to forgive those who had hurt me, mend broken relationships, and experience restoration. My story stands as a reminder that no matter the circumstances, the forgiveness and mercy of Jesus Christ can heal every heart and set us free.

    JESUS DID IT!: Jesus destroyed the barrier of sin between God and mankind at the cross: https://www.precious-testimonies.com/messages/jesus-did-it/jesus-did-it

    WHY WOULD HE DO THAT? The Bible (God’s only trustworthy Word for the human race) tells us: All of us were born with an unrighteous sinful nature. We inherited it spiritually from Adam and Eve, the first two created people, because of their disobedience to God by giving into the devil’s deceiving temptation. Why would the devil do such a thing anyway? Because he hates God! The devil wants no one enjoying intimate, joyous relationship with God. He once had it yet lost it, and now wants no one else having it either.

    God is so holy – so righteous – so pure … that He cannot and will not allow unrighteous sinners to remain with Him in heaven. But God had a plan to undo what Satan did to the human race. Jesus Christ IS the plan! Jesus came to earth to ransom you and everyone else for Himself, God the Father, and God the Holy Spirit. He took full punishment for your sins against God and the sins of everyone else on the cross so our sins no longer would keep us separated from God. Furthermore, He traded His righteousness for our unrighteousness through His death, burial and resurrection! (See: 2 Corinthians 5:21). That is no insignificant matter, dear one!

    Imagine being in a courtroom, and the Judge has just sentenced you to death. Also imagine Jesus Christ being your lawyer. Jesus Christ says to the Judge (or in other words, God the heavenly Father): “Your Honor, I want to serve my client’s sentence and pay the price for his/her wrong-doing by dying instead so my client can go free.” Can you imagine someone doing such a thing for you?! JESUS DID IT!

    Of course you may be thinking at that moment: I haven’t done anything to be sentenced to die! I’m being falsely accused! “What have I supposedly DONE, God?!” Here’s your answer: God gave 10 commandments for people to keep in the Old Testament Bible. Anyone who breaks just one of those commandments must be punished for breaking them against God. Where does it say THAT?! It says that in Romans 6:23: For the wages of sin is death but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Have you ever lied? Lied just one time? Everyone of us has lied at least once. Number 9 of the 10 commandments says: Thou shalt not lie (bear false witness). You know what that makes us? A disobedient sinning liar against God and His moral law – His 10 commandments. (Revelation 21:8 also tells us what God thinks of lying).

    You just read above what God says about our disobedient sinning against Him by breaking just ONE of His moral laws: God’s punishment for doing so is DEATH. Spiritual death. Ultimately total separation from God and agonizingly suffering for our sins against Him for all eternity — totally void of any love, peace, hope, joy or forgiveness from God ever again (otherwise known as hell).

    BUT HERE IS GOD’S BEST NEWS! We can receive forgiveness for all our unrighteous, disobedience (sins) against God and our sins against others RIGHT NOW and have certainty RIGHT NOW that on the Judgment Day, our sins WON’T be held against us! HOW CAN THAT BE?! By asking Jesus Christ to forgive us for our sins and trusting that He HAS forgiven us of them simply by our asking and trusting! Jesus will do it!

    1 John 1:8-9 says: If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Thus if we make Jesus our personal Lord and Savior – every time we sin – we have every right to ask Jesus Christ to forgive us of our sin(s) – cleanse us as though we never sinned – so that when our heart stops beating, we can be assured that we won’t have to suffer eternal damnation for our sins.

    Jesus Christ did what no other human being has ever done or ever could do. He was the ONLY person on this planet who has never sinned. And because He never sinned, He is the only acceptable sacrifice God the Father would accept to pay ransom payment for each of OUR sins. That is simply AMAZING, isn’t it?! Yet JESUS DID IT!

    WHY? Because of God’s LOVE and MERCY for lost souls like you and I who will reach out in humility and demonstrate appreciation for His FREE GIFT of forgiveness (pardon) so we can have friendship and intimacy with Him starting now … and lasting for ETERNITY! This life is your starting point with your loving Creator that will last for eternity.

    Don’t allow the devil to steal YOUR soul – YOUR eternal destiny that God has intended for you! Choose eternal life that only JESUS can give!

    In this deeply personal testimony, I recount my painful journey of being sexually abused as a child, the brutal experiences that have haunted me, and the long, challenging process of healing and inner transformation. I share how my early exposure to abuse impacted my understanding of relationships and contributed to emotional and sexual struggles—including a misguided rejection of the affectionate qualities found in men’s hearts.
