Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager

In this episode of Timeless Wisdom, Dennis Prager tackles one of the most difficult subjects in relationships: the different battles men and women face in controlling their natural tendencies. Dennis argues that men must learn to control aggression and sexuality, while women face a different challenge in learning to keep emotions from overwhelming reason and damaging their relationships. Dennis takes calls from listeners who share their experiences with marriage, parenting, and learning to manage emotions. He explains why parents should teach their daughters rational behavior just as they would their sons, why acknowledging emotions does not mean surrendering to them, and how husbands and wives can help each other overcome their weaknesses. But what happens when emotions begin to take control of a marriage? Dennis explores why some husbands shut down, why wives may struggle to recognize when emotion has replaced reason, and whether men and women can learn to better understand and complement each other. His answers may challenge the way you think about your own relationships.

In this thought provoking episode of Timeless Wisdom, Dennis Prager challenges the common phrase, “God made me this way.” He examines what it means to believe that God determines the way we are born and whether that belief should shape how we respond to our natural tendencies, abilities, and limitations. Dennis explores human nature, free will, morality, and personal responsibility, discussing everything from disabilities to destructive tendencies and the idea that some people may be born with stronger inclinations toward good or evil. He argues that what we are given does not determine how we must live. But if God did not necessarily make us the way we are, what does He actually expect from us? Dennis offers a provocative answer that shifts the entire question from “What did God make me?” to “What does God want me to do?” Follow on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/timeless-wisdom-with-dennis-prager/id1517302239 Follow us on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4SZEYeH4tuLr2FvG4ok1rl Learn more about Dennis Prager: https://pragertopia.com/ Follow Dennis on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DennisPrager Follow Dennis on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedennisprager/ Follow Dennis on X: https://x.com/DennisPrager Learn more about the Salem Podcast Network: https://salempodcastnetwork.com/ Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

In Monday's episode of Dennis AMA, Dennis Prager lets listeners set the agenda with questions pulled from October and November 2004, covering everything from faith and family to parenting, music, books, and the unexpected lessons of everyday life. Dennis discusses why Jewish evangelism largely disappeared after centuries of persecution and isolation, the relationship between Judaism and Christianity, and his vision for a Jewish Christian alliance. He also has a touching conversation with a young Christian school student who recites the Shema in Hebrew. The conversation turns to parenting as Dennis advises a father struggling with his son's school performance. He discusses grades, discipline, school choice, reading, and why children should not be defined solely by their academic achievements. Dennis also shares a remarkable story from a serious car accident in his youth, talks about his love of music and Bible translations, and gets an unexpected lesson in how to properly adjust car mirrors to eliminate blind spots. The episode concludes with a powerful reflection on family heritage, adoption, and what parents truly pass on to their children. For Dennis, values matter more than blood, and the legacy we leave our children is ultimately about what we teach them and how we influence the people they become.

Not what do you want to do for a living, but what kind of person do you want to become? Drawing from his own desire to be an “easy” father and father-in-law, Dennis explores the importance of consciously choosing who we want to be. He considers happiness, faith, goodness, wisdom, courage, marriage, and family, arguing that becoming the person we want to be requires more than simply wishing for it. In this thoughtful Rosh Hashanah reflection, Dennis challenges us to look beyond careers, success, wealth, and fame and consider what truly matters: Do you want to be a good person? A wise person? A happy person? And are you willing to work at becoming that person? Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
