As Christians, it is important to pray fervently for our beloved country and its citizens. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Gary Bauer interviews Kathy Branzell, president of the National Day of Prayer Task Force. She discusses the theme of this year’s National Day of Prayer event, which is based on 2 Samuel 22:29-31, and describes the intimacy of coming to the Lord with all of our needs.
In our world today, we continue to experience a steady erosion of our Judeo-Christian values. On today’s special edition of Family Talk, we’ll hear from our own Mrs. Shirley Dobson about her time as chair of the National Day of Prayer Task Force, and the vitality of prayer in a Christian’s life, “for such a time as this.” Hebrews: 4:16 says, “Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”

On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Tim Clinton interviews Jonathan Evans about the legacy given to him by his parents, Dr. Tony and Lois Evans, and how that was the basis for his new book, Stories from the Storyteller: Lessons from the Parables of Jesus. Psalm 128:1-2 says, “Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in His ways. You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be blessed, and it shall be well with you.” Listen to Jonathan’s vision and how the most important thing a parent can do is to teach the legacy of Jesus Christ to his or her children.
On today’s edition of Family Talk, Anne Graham Lotz and her daughter, Rachel-Ruth Lotz Wright, underscore the influence of Christian parents and grandparents who model their love for God. Especially in a world which is so hostile to biblical truth. In the latter years of Billy and Ruth Graham’s lives, their eyesight failed them. But their love for God’s Word was so strong, they drew spiritual strength from hearing the Bible read aloud, and reading Scripture printed out in giant typeface.
If Christian parents want to ensure that their children walk in the ways of the Lord, it’s not enough to just take them to church. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Anne Graham Lotz and her daughter, Rachel-Ruth Lotz Wright, urge believing parents to be intentional about sharing Christ with their children. The co-authors of Jesus Followers explain that the key to discipling your kids is to model a vibrant relationship with Christ. When they see you in regular prayer and Bible study, that’s when Christianity becomes contagious. And that’s what will inspire the next generation to enthusiastically grasp the baton of faith and finish their own race well.
According to Dr. James Dobson, “An inheritance is something you leave to someone, while a legacy is something you instill in someone.” On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Tim Clinton and Dr. Ken Canfield continue discussing Dr. Ken’s book, The Heart of Grandparenting. He shares how grandparents can have an “angelic influence” on their grandchildren, pointing them to the Lord and acting as safeguards. In addition, Dr. Canfield explains how grandparents are called to be reconcilers and teachers to help bridge the gap in family dynamics.
Dr. Ken Canfield believes we are on the brink of a grandparenting revolution! On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Tim Clinton and Dr. Canfield unpack lessons from his book, The Heart of Grandparenting, including the opportunity that grandparents have to leave a lasting and impressionable legacy. He advises grandparents to communicate their own Christian heritage to their grandchildren, which helps in forming their developing identities, and building resiliency. Dr. Canfield also emphasizes the importance of being a godly example, because the best lessons are caught rather than taught.
