Focus on the Family is a Christian ministry founded in 1977 by Dr. James Dobson, providing resources for Christian families on parenting, marriage, and cultural engagement. Its Plugged In resource (the leading Christian media review site) and its radio programs reach millions of Christian families.
Focus on the Family has been one of the most influential Christian family ministries in America for nearly 50 years. Founded by Dr. James Dobson — a licensed psychologist and evangelical author — it provides resources across multiple areas important to Christian families:
Plugged In — the leading Christian media review website, providing detailed content assessments of movies, shows, music, and games from a biblical perspective. GodlyScore users often compare us to Plugged In. Their Plugged In reviews are thorough and free.
Adventures in Odyssey — a long-running Christian audio drama for children set in the fictional Whit's End discovery center, one of the finest pieces of Christian children's content ever produced.
Marriage and parenting resources — counseling referrals, books, and broadcast content addressing the most important questions Christian families face.
Focus on the Family has at times become closely identified with Republican politics rather than remaining a broadly Christian family ministry. This politicization — while understandable given the intersection of Christian family values and political policy — has limited the organization's reach among Christians who do not share its political alignment. The ministry's effectiveness is best when it focuses on its core Christian family formation mission.
