Joni Eareckson Tada

“What is a life worth living?” Joni answers this question for a young victim of Lou Gehrig’s disease, and explains how each one of our 24-hour days can impact 1,000 years of eternity. You’ll never forget this unique perspective on the value of every human life.

Joni explores the question of why God doesn’t heal every disease and every pain we suffer. She shares her struggles with deep depression after being paralyzed at age 17, and her ardent pursuit of healing from the Lord. After much disappointment, Joni’s perspective changed for the better when she realized that God was more concerned about healing her soul than healing her body. She also reveals the problems that her disability has caused in her marriage to her husband Ken, and how the Lord helped them through those difficult years. As a bonus on day one, we share a brief conversation between Jim Daly and Ken Tada about his deep love for Joni, and the Lord, and how having an attitude of service has helped him cope as the husband of a quadriplegic. (Part 2 of 2)

In a discussion based on her book When is it Right to Die?, Joni Eareckson Tada examines the dangerous ramifications of the “right-to-die movement” and “mercy killing,” and encourages listeners to consider how we can all demonstrate love and compassion to those with disabilities and end-of-life challenges.

Whenever I struggle with end-of-life questions – whenever it feels like my disabilities are too much to handle – I think of a young woman named Kim.

Physical and emotional problems can challenge any marriage. But with the help of God and good friends, Ken and Joni Eareckson Tada found the strength to persevere in their marriage.
