Episode 225-Building a Legacy of Faith Across Generations with Ryan Dobson

What kind of legacy will you leave—and how can faith shape generations to come? This week's episode of The Alex McFarland Show was recorded live at the NRB Convention in Nashville, Tennessee. Alex sits down with Ryan Dobson for a compelling conversation about the enduring legacy of Dr. James Dobson and how God continues to use that legacy to strengthen families, encourage parents, and impact generations with biblical truth. Ryan also shares an inside look at an exciting new project, The Covenant—a multi-season episodic television series based on the stories of the Old Testament. More than simply retelling familiar biblical accounts, The Covenant brings Scripture to life by exploring the relationships, family dynamics, and timeless themes of faith that connect these stories. At its heart, the series highlights the importance of making—and keeping—our covenant with God. Join Alex and Ryan for an inspiring conversation about faith, family, legacy, and the power of God's promises—a discussion that will challenge you to consider the legacy you're building for the generations that follow.

Episode 223-Freedom or Socialism? A Constitutional and Biblical Perspective (Part 2)

Socialism cannot exist independently of capitalism; it depends on the wealth and productivity that capitalism creates—much like a parasite depends on its host. In this continuation of the conversation on The Alex McFarland Show, Alex explores this perspective through a biblical worldview, examining what Scripture teaches about economics, stewardship, personal responsibility, and the principles that contribute to a flourishing society. Don't miss Part 2 as Alex continues this timely discussion on faith, freedom, prosperity, and the role of government.
