Joni Eareckson-Tada: Strength in Suffering

This morning I had the privilege of sharing a biographical message with some of the home-schooled children in our church on one of my heroes of the faith, Joni Eareckson-Tada. It has been more than 40 years since she was paralyzed from the neck down because of a diving accident, yet she speaks of God's goodness, sovereignty and love with a joy and vitality that far surpass most of us who have never suffered like her.

If you've never heard Joni speak, you can watch this video below from a recent talk she did at Dallas Theological Seminary. Also, you can listen to or watch her talk from the 2005 Desiring God National Conference, which was outstanding.
