God has given you a sphere of influence, and how you live and speak can shape countless lives around you.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. And back in the late 70’s, when I saw the success of the Joni book and the Joni movie produced by Billy Graham, it became clear that God had given me a large sphere of great influence. Like the parable of the talents in Matthew 25, I realized that I needed to be a wise steward of every opportunity – where I went, what I said, how I lived, and with whom I hung around. Even now, decades later, I dare not become reckless with the platform that God has given me, for I long more than anything, to one day hear my master say, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” Friend, God has also given you a sphere of influence. What you say and how you live has a huge impact on the people who are watching you, especially the children who know you. So be a wise steward. And if you’d like to widen your influence, consider serving with us at joniandfriends.org.
