In this speech, Joni Erickson Tada tells her story of discovering Jesus in the midst of her suffering. Tada became a quadriplegic in a diving accident as a teenager, and her ministry to those with disabilities was born of her personal experiences since that time. Tada encourages her audience that answers don’t always reach the hurting area but that God, in His fatherly love, always does. Through her story, she shows that God is with us in our suffering and she explains that God asks us to enter into the suffering of others, by the grace and example of Jesus Christ.
