Moms in Prayer – Part 1

August 16, 2022

In 1984, Fern Nichols was fearful about sending her two eldest children off to junior high. Realizing that the spiritual warfare would be intense, she asked another mother to pray with her for their kids' protection. That was the humble beginning of Moms in Prayer International, a ministry which now has groups in all 50 states and 140 countries worldwide. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Fern compares the efforts of the four friends in the book of Mark, chapter two, who opened a hole in the roof to get a paralyzed man to Jesus. With the heart behind Moms in Prayer, mothers have a similar desperation and determination to bring their children before Christ in prayer.

Celebrating the Green Family and the 50th Anniversary of Hobby Lobby – Part 2

July 29, 2022

For David Green and his son, Steve Green, family has always been a priority, and that value is something they pass on to their employees at Hobby Lobby. When the Affordable Care Act mandated that businesses provide contraceptives to their employees in 2012, the Greens refused to put a pre-born baby’s life in jeopardy, despite a threatened million-dollar-per-day penalty. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Steve Green, president of the beloved craft store, reveals that while they prayed that God would deliver them, like Daniel in the lion’s den, they were also prepared to suffer like Job. In 2014, God delivered them through their victorious Supreme Court ruling.
