A Des Moines Register reporter stated the event, at times, took on the "confessional, open-hearted mood of a small group Bible study discussion."

(Des Moines, IA)—Christian conservatives attending the Presidential Family Forum in Des Moines, IA, Friday evening listened to seven Republican presidential candidates share personal, emotionally charged stories regarding praying for God's help, asking for forgiveness for a mistake, or questioning God for the suffering they were experiencing.

The Thanksgiving-themed forum was hosted by the Iowa evangelical Christian advocacy group, The Family Leader. The group reported more than 1,100 people and 100 members of national and international media attended the event, which was held at the Community Choice Credit Union Convention Center.

A Des Moines Register reporter stated the event, at times, took on the "confessional, open-hearted mood of a small group Bible study discussion."

Political consultant Frank Luntz moderated the discussion, bringing questions "unlike anything you'll ever see on a mainstream media debate," stated The Family Leader spokesperson after the forum.

The Leader organizers thought it was one of the most touching moments of the evening.
