#224 The Nearness of Christ in 50 Years Of Suffering, with Joni Eareckson Tada

At 17 years old, Joni Eareckson Tada dove into shallow water and broke her neck which left her paralyzed from the shoulders down. After 50 years of quadriplegia, Joni’s depth of faith and faithfulness to Jesus has inspired millions of people. She joins the podcast today to talk about how suffering with paralysis and chronic pain has brought her closer to Christ, and caused her to continually focus her heart on gratefulness throughout bouts of depression and despair.
