Explicitly Christian ministry founded by James Dobson in 1977, focused on strengthening marriages and families from a biblical perspective. 82/100 Spiritually Safe.
Focus on the Family was founded in 1977 by psychologist James Dobson in Arcadia, California (later moved to Colorado Springs). Its mission is "to defend the institution of the family and help people apply timeless principles rooted in Christian thought." Focus produces radio programs, publishes books and magazines, operates a counseling network, and advocates on policy issues affecting families from a conservative Christian perspective.
Focus on the Family's Plugged In publication provides film, television, and music reviews from a Christian family perspective — a direct predecessor to what GodlyScore does digitally. The organization has been a significant presence in American evangelical Christianity for nearly 50 years. See Focus on the Family's mission.
Focus on the Family has been a prominent voice in conservative political causes — opposition to same-sex marriage, advocacy for pro-life positions, and engagement with school curriculum debates. Its supporters see this as essential Christian advocacy in the public square; critics see it as inappropriately politicizing Christian faith. The organization's explicitly Christian mission and biblical foundation are genuine. Its extensive political engagement should be known by those who support or oppose it.
