Tribute to a Praying Mom

Fern Nichols was at her wit's end, trying to deal with a rebellious, wayward son. Though in despair because of Ty's worldly choices, she stayed on her knees in prayer for him. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson speaks with Fern, a former teacher and founder of Moms in Prayer International. Fern understood the power of Deuteronomy 3:22, which declares, "Do not be afraid; the Lord your God Himself will fight for you."
