Pursuing Intimacy with a Reluctant Husband

July 8, 2024

Husbands and wives are different physically, emotionally and sexually. Tragically, 1 out of 3 married women have a greater sex-drive than their husbands, which can lead to shame, isolation, and conflict in their marriages. But couples can learn how to draw together and trust God through this struggle, and expand their understanding of intimacy in marriage.

When God Allows Suffering (Part 2 of 2)

July 16, 2024

Joni explores the question of why God doesn’t heal every disease and every pain we suffer. She shares her struggles with deep depression after being paralyzed at age 17, and her ardent pursuit of healing from the Lord. After much disappointment, Joni’s perspective changed for the better when she realized that God was more concerned about healing her soul than healing her body. She also reveals the problems that her disability has caused in her marriage to her husband Ken, and how the Lord helped them through those difficult years. As a bonus on day one, we share a brief conversation between Jim Daly and Ken Tada about his deep love for Joni, and the Lord, and how having an attitude of service has helped him cope as the husband of a quadriplegic.
