This week co-hosts MIKE NAWROCKI and Sarah Humphries have the unique opportunity, in part 1 of a 2 part podcast, to talk to US Senate Chaplain Barry Black about his new book A Prayer for Our Country!

In A Prayer for Our Country, US Senate Chaplain Barry Black leads children in thanking God for America, while also exploring the ways we can model God’s love to support our country’s citizens, heal hurts that divide us, and look to a stronger, united future.

Senate Chaplain Barry Black believes words matter and that healing and unity are possible in America if we see the image of God in others. In this prayer for children based on wisdom from his almost two decades of daily praying over the US Senate, Black offers needed and inspiring text to help the next generation grow stronger in faith and forward America’s dream.

A Prayer for Our Country:
