Unconsumed: A Christmas Conversation with Joni Eareckson Tada

About this sermon

On today’s Christmas week episode of The Greg Laurie Show, we’re bringing back a classic interview between Pastor Greg and the one and only, Joni Eareckson Tada. Together they talk honestly about suffering, depression, chronic pain, and the unshakable hope of Christ. Plus, Joni shares her story—from a life-altering diving accident to a lifetime of ministry—along with a powerful perspective on God’s sovereignty, the true meaning of “Emmanuel,” and what she’s most looking forward to in heaven: not just a healed body, but a glorified heart. Wishing you a Christmas filled with joy, love, laughter, and the true peace of knowing your Savior has been born. -------- Want more from Greg Laurie? Visit: https://harvest.org/.
