You're listening to Family Talk, the radio broadcasting division of the James Dobson Family Institute.

I am that James Dobson, and I'm so pleased that you've joined us today. Well, welcome to Family Talk with your host, Psychologist and best-selling author Dr. James Dobson.

I'm Roger Marsh, and if you have ever prayed desperately for a child of yours, we have a very

encouraging program for you today, especially for the praying moms who are listening to us.

We know there are so many obstacles and so many challenges and so many potential pitfalls in

front of your kids these days and it's even harder if your child has walked away from his or her faith.

I'll tell you, if you're a praying mom, it's enough to wear out a mom's knees.

Well, our first speaker today here on the program is that prodigal son and yet his

mother never stopped praying for him.

God had me under the microscope because my mother was in his ear every day and she wouldn't let God forget about me. Lord please remember

my son daily. Now that was My son, Daily.

Now that was Ty Nichols, the son of Fern Nichols, who's the founder of Moms in

Prayer International.

Ty shared his moving testimony in a pre-recorded message given at a moms in

prayer conference in Dallas, Texas. He offered encouragement for parents who have a

child who have walked away from the faith, reminding them that they should never give up loving

and praying for their wayward son or daughter.

Ty testifies how his mother's fervent persistent prayers helped deliver him from rebellion through his teenage years and into young adulthood.

Here he is now on today's edition of Dr. James Dobson's Family Talk.

In my mind, I was it. She was old school. I was new school. She was the old way. I was the new way, her faith was a crutch, and my life was a trophy.

Sain was to try and destroy me and discourage mom.

He tried to get her to question God's authority. Can you relate?
