This message is still inspiring us in 2023. Thank you for reminding us that we are all broken in some way, and I thank God for KZread, that no matter where we are in the world, we can listen to these encouraging messages. God bless you all!

I recently met a lady who used to go to Chuck Swindoll's church and she told me she was there to hear this message. We both now live in a 55+ plus community. God has drawn us together. It's so encouraging to hear this message! Blessings!

Joni's has such amazing faith, joy and humour in the midst of such suffering 🙏❤️

Oh God, thank you for leading me to this video.

You have blessed me for many years now. My brother had muscular dystrophy when he was 16 yrs old the doctors said he would not live to 18yrs old, God had other plans though. He went college and graduated in computer science. You were an inspiration to him. He is with our Lord now, he died at the age 52yrs. He helped with the 4yr old in church and oh, how they loved to ride on his wheelchair. He made a statement one day that he couldn't wait to get to heaven so he could stand up and see how tall he was. He had many struggles through life but Jesus was always there.

Just a beautiful Spirit. Joni testimony is always so encouraging

Love u Joni.

Thanks a millions for this video My memory runs years ago ....the book I read and we would talk about it sharing.... And now years later as I see this video I say God you are really awesome Bless you beloved Joni ...and bless your beloved husband....how strange and mysterious are God's ways... Bless you too Pastor Chuck.

There's no one like Joni! I wish she knew how much she and her sweet husband meant to so many. Joni, you've allowed our Faithful Father to use you in so many ways to make the whole a much better place. When we all get to heaven I hope that you will be able to meet the countless numbers of souls whose lives you saved and gave hope and direction to. Many crowns are waiting for you, precious child of God!

This was EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED. PRAISE GOD

Joni is an incredible human being and so is Ken laboring faithfully, mostly behind the scenes. ❤️

Amazing sharing God's Eternal love

I hae lost count of how many times I've listened to her book, "The God I Love!!!!" My favorite part is the part where her friend Jackie, sang that beautiful song to her!!!" "Man Of Sorrows, what a name, for the son of God who came! Ruined Sinners to reclaim, hallelujah, WHAT A SAVIOR!!!!!!" I love, truly LOVE that part, because, when Jackie's son had taken his own life, Jonie wrote to Jackie saying, "I wish I were there, because if I could be, I would hold your hand, and I would sing you that song, you sang me many years ago!!!!!" WOW!!!!!!

Joni you are my hero and amazing.. You make me want to love Jesus better. This talk made me cry. You are amazing. Thank you!" When I like vault over the pearly gates" oh Joni! You will!

💞 What a loving and awesome friend 💗 Joni thank you for sharing. 🥰

Amazing 👏 and thank you

This was so moving. May the Lord Bless you Joni and Ken as well as Pastor Swindal❣ I am always blessed abundantly when I hear you speak, Joni. I thank God at the end that the choir through the Holy Spirit blessed you abundantly: as well as the rest of us. I cried too, which I haven't done in a very long time. It was for you Joni and Ken that my tears fell. The Lord's mercies endures forever💞 AMEN One day you will lay crowns at the Lord's feet. What a Blessed day that will be when our Jesus we will see. I'll see you soon Joni and friends as well as all those in Christ Jesus. Much Love for you all.❤ 3/17/19

amazing couple amazing story very inspirational ,,, amazing how god used them to help millions

16:29 Amen. The Lord has brought Joni and Ken to mind countless times over the last 35 years, most often when I'm feeling sorry for myself. What a blessing these two have been.

Ohh, this brought me to tears! What a story!!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!

That was so beautiful !!! I have no words , all I can say is, GOD is real JESUS is LORD!!!

So touched by her testimony. There is so much to learn from her humility to happiness that gives joy when we know Jesus loved us more than any one. We need to aim for eternity to be with the Lord forever. Praise God for her life .

My focus on the family favorites!

Joni, I have known you for a long time - the interview is great. Anastasia Tempest

The Lord Jesus led me to this so inspiring message. Thank you Joni - for baring your soul. Thanks to you and your wonderful husband 👏🏽🙏🏾

The Anthem is "Be Not Afraid" by Taylor Davis Be not afraid, for I have redeemed you. Be not afraid, I’ve called you by name. My love for you is everlasting, My love for you shall have no end. When you pass through the waters, I will surround you. When you pass through the floods, they will not sweep o’er. When you walk through the fire, you will not be consumed. You are My child, You are My child, You are so precious to Me. Be not afraid, for I have redeemed you. Be not afraid, I’ve called you by name. My love for you is everlasting, My love for you shall have no end. When you pass through the waters, I will surround you. When you pass through the floods, they will not sweep o’er. When you walk through the fire, you will not be consumed. You are My child, You are My child, You are so precious to Me. You are My child and I'll love you always. Just hold My hand, and I’ll lead you home. When you feel lost, always remember: I am right here, just call out My Name. When you pass through the waters, I will surround you. When you pass through the floods, they will not sweep o’er. When you walk through the fire, you will not be consumed. You are My child, You are My child, You are so precious to Me. (based on Isaiah 43:1-7) © 2003 Choristers Guild. Just beautiful! So encouraging to see one who has encouraged so many being blessed in this way. Thank you Stonebriar Community for honouring one our modern heroes of the faith.

69eyre Thank you for these beautiful words, they soothed my troubled heart. I'm been through such heartache and sorrow and recently I was a victim of a crime where I almost died. It's been really difficult and I have been struggling to just feel emotion again. I love Isaiah 43: 1-7 and those words spoke deep to my heart. Thank you for taking the time to write this beautiful anthem in it's entirety.

This beautiful lady is such a blessing to me. I act like such a spoiled brat crybaby, I’m surprised the Lord doesn’t zap me then & there!

Chuck Swindoll is such a great preacher!!! #ChannelShowbiz

thank you for this encouraging video. God bless you from Norway.

In addition to the other more meaningful parts of your message, I love hearing about your girlfriends, lipstick, etc. Makes me smile so big! Hugs to you!!!!!

I ❤ Joni! I have chronic pain too. #HardLife

Thank you for sharing this incredibly intimate and transparent interview. May the Lord continue to smile upon you both, Chuck Swindoll and Joni Eareckson Tada.

Oh how I love her

This lady puts me to shame, l am a 75 Yr old in good health, but grumbling too much. How does she do it? Well because she trust in Jesus completely and utterly, x

Two of my all time favorite spiritual examples. Every time I hear Joni start balling my eyes out

Doy gracias al Señor por ésta bella obra que puso en tu Corazón Gracias Joni y los esperamos con los brazos aa biertos en Monterrey, N. L. México. el 7 y 8 de Abril. Ya tenemos muchas soliciuded llenas, gracias, gracias, gracias Hna. Norma González De León Ig. Bautista El Calvario.

hi sis Toni..:) thank you for this video..

Joni I love you...

Wow this is such a powerful and moving interview God bless you Joni and Chuck.

All the fools from prosperity cults should learn from people like Joni. God hasn't promised anywhere a suffering-free life.

Thank you for posting this encouraging and inspiring interview with Joni! And that beautiful song at the end - awesome! Is there a way to buy the sheet music of that song?

A very incredible interview! I think it would be nice if he was sitting in a lower chair so did not have to look up at him. Just an observation.

Hi 👋

does anyone know what is d title of d song in d last part of the video..thanks a lot

¿ Y, la traducción al español ?😥😢😭

Be Not Afraid g.co/kgs/a4torg Be Not Afraid Song by John Michael Talbot [Verse 1] You shall cross the barren desert But you shall not die of thirst You shall wander far in safety Though you do not know the way You shall speak your words in foreign lands And all will understand You shall see the face of God and live [Chorus] Be not afraid I go before you always Come follow me And I will give you rest [Verse 2] Blessed are your poor For the kingdom shall be theirs Blessed are you that weep and mourn For one day you shall laugh And if wicked men insult and hate you all because of me Blessed, blessed are you [Chorus] Be not afraid I go before you always Come follow me And I will give you rest
