A Moment with Joni Eareckson Tada

The Meeting That Changed Everything

Episode Summary

Use your gifts to serve others – just like it says in Peter 4.

Episode Transcription

Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. After a football injury ended David’s professional career, he opened up a gym – after all, he knew how to get people into shape. But he longed to do something more meaningful. One day at the mall, he noticed a man rolling along in his wheelchair. Stopping to introduce himself, David asked this man, Brian, what happened and Brian said that he had “gotten blown up” in Afghanistan and lost his legs. That’s when David realized his gifts could help Brian, so he invited the veteran to his gym. And that meeting changed everything. After training with David, Brian – who thought he would never walk again – became strong enough to use prosthetics. And now, David’s gym is dedicated to help people with life-changing injuries. First Peter 4 tells us to use our gifts to serve others. So, visit joniandfriends.org to learn how you can use your gifts to help people like Brian.
