Ep. 5.51 : Best of 2022: Finding peace in the midnight moments with Joni Eareckson Tada

“God permits what he hates to accomplish what he loves.” 

— Joni Eareckson Tada

 

The ten words above have marked me from the very first time I heard Joni Eareckson Tada speak them. And today I want to re-share one of my favorite episodes of the year where Joni is sharing her heart behind these words. 

 

Joni is an author, speaker, artist, and the most incredible example of loving Jesus in the hardest places that I’ve ever known. She suffers with quadriplegia, and, even so, has traveled the world sharing her hope in Jesus. 

 

Joni very candidly talks to us about her accident and the words she prayed just months before it happened. We get a little insight into how she’s learned to love Jesus even when life’s midnight moments of despair come creeping in.  

 

There’s literally no way for me to hype today’s show enough, so please, please take a minute and go listen.
