Nurturing a Child's Prayer Life - Part 1 with Guests Dr. Jerry Kirk, Candy Marballi, Rick Schatz

In the words of Dr. Jerry Kirk, founder of the Prayer Covenant, “There is no holding back what God can do in and through you if you daily commit to making Him Lord of your life.” On today’s classic edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson talks with Dr. Kirk, and his colleagues, Candy Marballi and Rick Schatz, about some of the amazing things the Lord has done through each of them after committing their lives to Him. Matthew 18:14 says, “In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.” Be enlightened as you hear the special meaning that this verse holds for Jerry, and how he learned that no child is too young to learn to pray!
