Carrie Wilkerson was over $100,000 in debt and 145 pounds overweight. Admittedly, she had been inattentive to details in her business and with her health, and unfortunately, both had become out of control.

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." Thankfully, Ty was brought to repentance by the undying prayers of his loving mother, and God's promise of mercy and grace. You won’t want to miss this beautiful story of a transformed and abundant life.
