Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada where I love sharing hope in hardship. And one of the ways I love doing that is by sharing the books I’ve read which have had a really good influence on my walk with Christ. All week long I’ve been talking up these books, and I’ve posted my ten favorites…

Are you finding it hard not to slump into discouragement? Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada, and you’d agree, it’s a difficult season, what with COVID-19 bouncing up and down. It just keeps disrupting our lives. I’ve been on the phone – no, actually, I’ve found myself on so many Zoom calls – listening to people…

Welcome to Joni and Friends, where we share hope in every hardship. Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada, and there’s such a need for hope these days, don’t you think? So much hardship. Here we are in September, and we’re still wandering through this desert of COVID-19. I’ve pretty much remained inside the whole time, ever…

Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada, talking about a book I really love. I believe I’ve told you that during COVID-19, I’ve been rereading the classic books of Elisabeth Elliot. I was first introduced to her in 1965 when, in high school, I read her book “Through Gates of Splendor.” And I was mesmerized by the…

Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada and I love reading books. I mean, good books. And, since last week was National Read a Book Day, I’ve made a list of my favorite reads that I’ve posted today on joniradio.org. Over the years, God has used some incredible books to shape my life, and during this season…

Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada and on this 9/11, life is war.   So says Dr. Piper, and I think we’d all agree with him based on the battle that we have had this year with coronavirus, and of course looking back at the events of 9/11 and that awful attack. As believers, we know that our true enemy – it’s not Al-Qaeda, like it was back at 9/11; it’s not even a virus, but it’s our life-long…

I love to share hope through every hardship.  Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada, and I trust that the hopeful words I say here on this program encourage you through your hardships. Because we all need help. Like the other morning when my two girlfriends were assisting me in getting dressed, getting up and out of bed, into my wheelchair. Before they strapped on…

Welcome to Joni and Friends; hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada.  Elisabeth Elliott tells the story of a little girl who, instead of doing her household chores, decided that she should spend that hour practicing on the piano. She sat on the bench, proudly plunking away on the keys, “Yes, Jesus Loves Me.” Her mother called from the other room, reminding her daughter of her duties; but the girl continued…

I’m Joni Eareckson Tada and I wonder if you have as many regrets as I do.  Welcome to Joni and Friends, and you will admit, regrets about the past can get you sidetracked. It happens to me all the time. There I am lying in bed and reflecting on a meeting earlier in the day with co–workers. And I will lie there and, in the…

Let me share the inspiring story behind a beautiful hymn of the faith.   Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada and the story is set in Germany during the Thirty Years War which raged in the 1600s. It was a terrible war, that resulted in the deaths of over 20 percent of the German population, making it one…
