But that doesn’t make it any easier to drag yourself out of bed thirty minutes before the kids wake up so you can have some quiet time with God. On today's Family Talk, Dr. Jerry Kirk will share about the amazing life journey he has gone on thanks to a simple daily prayer, and explain how you too can embrace prayer in your life. That’s today, on Dr. James Dobson’s Family Talk.

Bringing Up Boys
With so much confusion about the role of men in society, it’s no wonder we have questions about how to bring up boys in the right way. Why are so many young males in crisis? What qualities should we be instilling in our sons? The culture has vilified masculinity, and as a result, an entire generation of boys is growing up without a clear idea of what it means to be a man. To help parents confront this challenge, the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute has developed a new 10-day email series based on Dr. Dobson’s best-selling book, Bringing Up Boys. It’s designed to equip you to wisely lead your sons to become godly men.
