Champions for the Disabled with Joni Eareckson Tada
In "Champions for the Disabled with Joni Eareckson Tada," Nick Vujicic identifies how to rise above disabilities. Joni is a world-renowned author, radio host, disability advocate, and the founder of Joni and Friends. As a teenager she became a quadriplegic after a diving accident. Joni repeats 10 words that changed her life. "God permits what He hates to accomplish what He loves." In this interview, we dive into the joy and suffering of everyday life, including Joni's own story, and how Jesus is the answer to it all. Join us for an honest, real, and humorous look into how God meets us in our greatest pain and suffering and the joy that can be discovered through life as a disciple of Jesus Christ. We also discuss how the church can best serve those with disabilities and how we've learned to persevere through life's greatest challenges. You don't want to miss it!

8:32 How does Jesus meet us in pain and depression?
10:14 My advice here: I would not resist the depression. I would move into it.
10:29 When my pain gets really hard. I wake up in the morning, and I think....
10:37 And it is just at times overwhelming. But instead of resisting it, and instead of getting
