I was diagnosed with Lupus a year ago and any time I listen to the wisdom from Joni I am comforted and strengthened. Thank you!

I had a heart surgery in 2019 n because of the long surgery, both my legs n hands lacked the blood which finally caused my legs to be amputated below the knees n 3 fingers on my right hand to be amputated too. I'm now wheelchair bound. I keep listening to Joni so that I can find the courage, faith n strength to keep living. Thank you, Joni for all your encouragement n messages.

There’s always someone out there who has it worse. May God give you faith strong like Joni Eareckson and Nick Vujicic, I pray that the Spirit of Christ may shine upon you; guide your path and comfort your journey in any dark times. If the dark doesn’t run away from the light, it is surely pacified
