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.------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:CARLY JEAN LOS ANGELESCarly Jean Los Angeles is a capsule clothing and lifestyle brand that exists to help women simplify their closets and feel beautiful in every season of life.Use the code, ALISA, and get 30% off your first order during November 2023!www.carlyjeanlosangeles.comSEVEN WEEKS COFFEETaste the Coffee that is Saving Lives.Use the code, ALISA, to get 10% off any product.www.sevenweekscoffee.comGOOD RANCHERSGood Ranchers: American Meat Delivered Use the code, ALISA, and get $15.00 off your first box!Also Get FREE PROTEIN FOR 1 YEAR!Go to www.goodranchers.com/alisa for more information.SOUTHERN EVANGELICAL SEMINARYSteadfast in the TruthGo to www.ses.edu/alisa for more information about Southern Evangelical Seminary and to download your free eBook. --------------------------------------------------------------------To Purchase the new CD, “Beauty from the Ash”, go to www.alisachilders.com/musicThere you can get the CD, backing tracks, string charts, rhythm charts and stems.Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/alisachildersTo order “Another Gospel”: www.alisachilders.com/anothergospelTo order “Live Your Truth": www.alisachilders.com/live-your-truth-and-other-lies/For Alisa's Merch: https://alisachilders.creator-spring.comFor all links to Alisa’s recommended reading, visit the Alisa Childers Amazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/alisachildersTo see what gear Alisa uses to record her podcast, go to:https://kit.co/alisachildersPotential Sponsors: https://alisachilders.com/sponsor-request-form/Product links are affiliate links which means if you buy something we'll receive a small commission.
