The Joys of Raising a Large Family by Dr. James Dobson

April 18-19, 2022
Guests: Randy & Marcia Hekman

Part 1
Jeremiah 1:5 says, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born, I set you apart." On today’s classic edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson met with Randy and Marcia Hekman to discuss the calling that God placed on their hearts to have children—a lot of children! The Hekmans recount the message from our Creator to stop trying to limit the number of children they would have and be open to the Lord’s plans. The result? Randy and Marcia are the proud parents of 12 children.

Part 2
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?
