\"Different<\/a><\/p>\n

Recently, a friend sent me a URL and a very short email. “Check this one out,” it said. “PLEASE WATCH: R. C. Sproul, Chuck Colson, & Joni Eareckson Tada talk about families & disabilities.”<\/p>\n

What Could R.C. Sproul, Chuck Colson, & Joni Eareckson Tada Have in Common?<\/h3>\n

Since I wondered what those three people have in common, I clicked on When Disability Hits Home<\/em><\/strong><\/a> and began watching a very compelling video. Joni, who’s been in a wheelchair since a diving accident at age eighteen, narrates the episode. It’s part of her Joni & Friends Television Series<\/a><\/strong>. In this show, Sproul and Colson share the stories of their special needs grandchildren.<\/p>\n

Does God Know What He’s Doing?<\/h3>\n

But the episode doesn’t stop with their stories. Colson, a well-known Christian writer, talks about how his grandson’s autism changed them and affected his faith. Sproul, a prominent Christian theologian, shares the answers that have provided comfort and hope as his granddaughter wrestles with a brain disorder.<\/p>\n

What Do You Think?<\/h3>\n

Whether or not you agree with Colson or Sproul, this program is thought-provoking. It doesn’t shy away from the hard questions asked by parents of special needs kids. I encourage you to watch it and see what you think. Then come back and leave a comment for all of us. This could be a lively discussion!<\/p>\n
