The Joni and Friends Radio Program is a five-minute broadcast hosted by Joni Eareckson Tada. The inspirational program airs each weekday, sharing a biblical perspective on a wide range of topics. Joni shares encouragement, tackles issues related to disability awareness, and provides uniquely personal insights into life’s tougher questions. Her contagious joy and unwavering faith provide hope for those who find themselves faced with life’s crippling blows.
Joni also hosts a shortened program similar to Joni and Friends called Diamonds in the Dust. This one-minute program offers nuggets of encouragement to listeners worldwide.
Anne Phiri's heart for service is truly a gift!
We were so blessed to have her volunteer with us in Zambia. Hearing more of her story-and her precious daughter's-was a true joy.

When a broken neck upended her plans at age 17, Joni Eareckson Tada thought life was over. She fell into a deep depression. And over decades, Joni's paralysis and pain often made her feel like giving up. But God's presence and Word have always held her up when she might otherwise have fallen.
Joni anchors her emotions to the Lord's powerful promises, like the one found in Lamentations 3:21-23: "Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
While depression sometimes lurks nearby for Joni, she invites God to illuminate the shadows, and her heart, with his bright truth. And she prays, "Let my life be a testament that 'the precepts of the Lord are right, bringing joy to the heart; the commandments of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes' (Psalm 19:8)."
Like Joni, let the truth of God's Word bring joy to your weary heart and light to your tired eyes.

If you are walking through the fog of depression, do not trust your feelings. Trust his Word, and simply do the next thing.
Let Joni's life be a reminder that the Word of God is not only true-it is sufficient. It brings joy to the heart and light to the eyes, even in the darkest valleys.
