Joni And Friends Ministry Podcast

This week on the podcast, Crystal is talking with a special guest who understands suffering. With the diagnosis of a debilitating disease that led to 21 surgeries by the time she was 13, years in the hospital, and bullying from classmates, Vaneetha Risner encountered extraordinary pain early in life. She then experienced multiple miscarriages as a young wife, the death of a child, abandonment, and an unwanted divorce. And through it all, Vaneetha discovered the goodness of God and His divine purposes in her suffering. Listen as Crystal talks with Vaneetha about her book The Scars That Have Shaped Me: How God Meets Us in Suffering, and God’s sustaining grace she found in the midst of disability, shame, and grief.Find your copy of The Scars That Have Shaped Me: How God Meets Us in Suffering at https://store.joniandfriends.org/product/scars-have-shaped-me-how-god-meets-us-suffering.Learn more about Vaneetha at www.joniandfriends.org/podcastAnd don’t miss part two of Crystal’s conversation with Vaneetha next week
