Jim Daly is preparing to step down as president of Focus on the Family after nearly two decades leading the Colorado Springs-based ministry.
The organization confirmed it has launched a formal search for Daly's successor. Daly took over from founder James Dobson in 2005 and has served as the primary host of the ministry's daily radio broadcast, which reaches millions of listeners.
Under Daly's leadership, Focus on the Family maintained its focus on providing resources for marriages and families from a biblical perspective. The ministry operates one of the largest Christian radio programs in the United States and runs counseling services, parenting resources, and advocacy programs.
No specific departure date has been announced. Daly continues to serve as president and CEO while the transition process is underway.
Focus on the Family was founded by James Dobson in 1977 and grew into one of the most influential evangelical organizations in the country. The ministry is headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and employs hundreds of staff members.
