The Joys of Raising a Large Family - Part 2 with Guests Randy & Marcia Hekman

Do you believe, as Psalm 127 declares, that children are a gift from God? If so, does that include allowing Him to determine the size of your family? On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson continues his discussion with Randy and Marcia Hekman, who believe the fundamental truth that their 12 kids are God’s children, even though they gave birth to them and raised them. Despite culture’s causal approach to abortion and birth control, because God is sovereign, is it possible that He might want to bless the world with more Christ-following children through you?
