Well, hello everyone. I'm James Dobson and you're listening to Family Talk, a

listener supported ministry. In fact, thank you so much for being part of that

support for James Dobson Family Institute.

I'm Roger Marsh.

Welcome to the month of May

and be listening at the end of today's program

for a very special opportunity

on how you can take part in our $300,000 matching grant

to support the ministry here at the JDFI.

Well, welcome to Family Talk. I'm Roger Marsh and on today's program we're going to focus on

prayer and we have two very special guests who are going to be joining us to talk

about the National Day of Prayer which is coming up this Thursday, May the 2nd.

Gary Bower is in studio with me today here on the program.

Gary, of course, is the Vice President of Public Policy here at the Dr. James Dobson

family institute. He's the host of the defending Faith. here at the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute.

He's the host of the defending faith, family, and freedom podcast

and a regular contributor.

You hear Gary hosting the program quite often these days,

especially as we talk about issues of public policy.

And Gary, it's a pleasure and an honor to share the studio with you today.

Well, Roger, it's mutual.

I'm glad to be with you, and this is such an important topic, you know. I mean obviously in America every day should be a national day of prayer, but having this specific day and particularly the fact that we do some things on this.
