There may be no second acts in America, as F. Scott Fitzgerald famously claimed, but that’s clearly not the case in the Colorado Springs evangelical community.

Last year, exiled New Life Church founder Ted Haggard returned to Colorado Springs and later began holding prayer meetings in his home. And last fall, Focus on the Family announced the end of its ties with James Dobson, who founded the conservative Christian group three decades ago.

The evangelical leader’s reign at Focus was comparatively scandal-free, unless you count the SpongeBob SquarePants uproar, and his departure was considerably less sudden. But Dobson, who will host his final Focus broadcast Friday morning, won’t be gone long: “I have felt since the turn of the century,” he wrote on Facebook, “that I needed to begin passing along the leadership of the ministry to a younger generation.”

To that end, Dobson is partnering with his adopted son Ryan in the launch of a new program called Family Talk, which is slated to debut May 3 and is currently being shopped to stations by Ambassador Radio, the same agency that repped Dobson back when he was starting out in broadcasting. The show is the pilot project for a new advocacy organization, a $2 million startup that will be based here in Colorado Springs.
