Light From Lucas Lessons in Faith from a Fragile Life - Part 3 with Guest Bob Vander Plaats
According to Bob Vander Plaats, “God’s greatest miracle might be wrapped up in your biggest problem.” On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson concludes his three part series with Bob, who explains the unique relationship between earthly problems and the Lord’s divine purpose. Bob also describes how God moved in and through his disabled son, Lucas, to bring the most “beautiful chaos” into the lives of he and his wife, as well as that of their other children.
