Hello, everyone. You're listening to Family Talk, a radio broadcasting ministry of the James

Dobson Family Institute. I'm Dr. James Dobson, and thank you for joining us for this program.

Well, welcome to Family Talk, the broadcast ministry of the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute.

I'm Roger Marsh.

You know, it was August the 21st that Dr. Dobson went home to be with the Lord.

He was just 89 years of age.

And there were many stories that Dr. told, and fortunately we've recorded most of them,

stories that really had a deep and powerful and profound impact on his life.

And today, you're going to hear part one of one of those remarkable stories.

Bill and Debbie Kennedy, a couple who endured an unimaginable 17-year separation when Bill was

wrongfully convicted of a crime and sentenced to federal prison.

What makes the Kennedy's story so incredible isn't just

the injustice that Bill faced or the incredible faithfulness that Debbie showed during those long

years. It's how both of them chose to trust God's plan, even when everything seemed so hopeless.

Let's get into part one of this powerful story we've entitled Free at Last. And here to

begin today's program is Dr. James Dobson. I want to start today's program by providing some

history and background for the two guests who are with us today. And I will introduce them

in just a moment. When I was 26 years old and so very, very young, I was a doctoral student

in Child Development at the University of Southern California. And one of the requirements was that I

teach for two years in the public schools.

And those were two of the most enjoyable years of my life because I loved those students, those junior high kids.

I mean, I missed them on a weekend, and my wife never understood that, but I did.
