Welcome everyone to Family Talk. It's a ministry of the James Dobson Family Institute, supported by listeners just like you.

I'm Dr. James Dobson, and I'm thrilled that you've joined us.

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

I'm Roger Marsh, and today is the National Day of Prayer.

If you're a parent or a grandparent, you know how important it is to pray for those kids and grandkids in your life.

And yet, we also understand the weight of sending our kids out into the world each day,

wondering who is influencing them and what they're being taught

and whether they will hold onto their faith as they grow older.

Well, on today's edition of Family Talk, we commemorate the National Day of Prayer

by airing a program Dr. Dobson recorded many years ago with Fern Nichols,

the founder of an organization called Moms in Prayer.

Fern was joined by her successor, Sally Burke, along with 25 other women from all across Colorado

who represent this incredible ministry. Now, Fern's story begins with one desperate prayer for her

children, and it sparked a movement that is now active in, are you ready for this?

145 countries. Here now is Dr. James Dobson with more.

I need to let our listeners know what's going on here in this studio at this moment because this is a very exciting moment for me

for more reasons than one. I am surrounded by 27 beautiful ladies who are moms and who care

about prayer and especially prayer for their children.

And we're going to talk about that today.

Now, Fern Nichols is also here, and some of our listeners will remember her

because she's worked with me.

My goodness, I don't know how many programs we've done, Fern.
