It's Not Good To Be Alone (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I once sat in an Easter service surrounded by a thousand people and felt utterly alone. Caregiving can do that. Even in a crowded room. Even on a crowded pew. In this episode, I turn to Genesis 2:18, talk about the difference between solitude and isolation, and share why those of us advocating for someone we love need people beside us, too. I also tell the story of a diverted flight, an overnight bus ride, and a fellow passenger who needed help getting safely onto the next bus. Then I close at t
I've Seen My Work. I Need a Better Savior. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A man sitting beside me on a flight told me his religious organization taught people to look inside themselves and become their own savior. "I've seen my work," I told him. "I need a better Savior."

It belongs at the hospital bedside, in the waiting room, and in the kitchen at two in the morning. What we believe about God shapes what we believe about ourselves, what we attempt to carry, and where we stand when ever
Joni Eareckson Tada: Trusting God When the Pain Doesn't Stop (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After nearly six decades of quadriplegia and chronic pain, Joni Eareckson Tada speaks with uncommon clarity about suffering, hope, caregiving, and the daily grace that sustains when life does not get easier. In this conversation about her new book, Keeping Faith When Life Hurts , Joni explains why Christian hope sustains us when normal is not returning and why, despite her weariness, she refuses to retire.
