It was a busy New Year's weekend for Mark Barna, religion reporter for the Colorado Springs Gazette , who covered the growing split between James Dobson and Focus on the Family, the powerful and prominent evangelical parachurch organization he has led for decades. Focus, which has struggled with declining income and layoffs, has for years been concerned about its future and its transition to a new generation of leaders.

Dobson resigned as chairman of Focus's board in February and is scheduled to host his last Focus radio program on Feb. He recently began spelling out his unexpected plans for what he will do after that. Thursday's Gazette story reported:. Dobson, who founded Focus in , announced on his Facebook page that in March he will launch a nonprofit Christian group and host a new radio show with his son, Ryan.

Ryan Dobson was formerly married to Cezanne N. Williams (Also known as Danita Williams) of Seattle in But the marriage didn't last, and the couple were divorced in As you may have read from my previous post, it's all right for Dobson to destroy the ministry of others who go through divorce.

Retiring is attractive, Dobson writes, but "the institution of the family continues to be in deplorable condition, and children are growing up in a culture that often twists and warps their young minds. Friday's story reported that Dobson is now competing with Focus for the donor dollars needed to support his new venture, which is called James Dobson on the Family.

And in a post on his blog , "The Pulpit," Barna raises questions about Dobson's motivation:. Dobson's new ministry will have a similar agenda to that of Focus, which is to build up family values. The centerpiece of the ministry will be a daily radio show Dobson will co-host with year-old Ryan. Dobson's departure from Focus only to start a similar ministry has some outside observers speculating that Dobson was forced out of Focus and that a bitter Dobson decided to create a competing organization.

Dobson, they say, may also feel that Focus' kinder and gentler approach under CEO and president Jim Daly is not doing the trick, motivating Dobson to start a family nonprofit where fiery rhetoric is the norm.

Ryan Dobson was divorced from Cezanne in Ryan was totally opposed to the dissolution of the marriage and there were no biblical grounds to justify it (No adultery involved.).

Barna quoted some of the usual suspects Randall Balmer, John Green who said Dobson's actions were unusual, but he didn't feature any parachurch experts or non-official Focus insiders, some of whom have told me that Dobson has long expressed frustration about the board forcing him to leave before he was ready. On Sunday Gazette columnist Barry Noreen added to the intrigue with this speculation :.

Dobson wants to pass the torch to his son, Ryan, and couldn't do it at Focus because Ryan Dobson went through a divorce in A source says the new head of Focus, Jim Daly, spoke at an evangelical conference a few months ago and unveiled the Super Bowl ad plan.
