Summary
During our season break, we're looking back at some of our first and favorite episodes. In this conversation with Joni Eareckson Tada, Joni shares her journey from being a young athlete to a quadriplegic and how God has used this as an invitation for her to know Him better. A few years after her accident, she founded Joni and Friends, which has impacted so many families and people with disabilities.
Through Gates of Splendor by Elisabeth Elliot
