She is Yours

As Christian parents, we have two primary responsibilities. The first is to evangelize our kids, revealing God’s character through word and deed. The second, as our children’s stewards, is to prayerfully release them back to the Lord. On today’s program, Dr. James Dobson presents one of his favorite interviews from the Family Talk archives, a conversation he had with Jonathan and Wynter Pitts, just one year before Wynter’s sudden passing. Together they examine the Pitts’ book, She is Yours, which encourages moms and dads to breathe a sigh of relief because God is in control of their daughters’ lives. Abba is the one Who protects them, and He is the one Who will guide their future.
