Hope for the Caregiver

Taking Community To Those Isolated By Caregiving

Today's show features special guest Tara Shaver from AARP TN. For some time, AARP has invited me to write blogs and participate in various media events such as my video with Jeff Foxworthy, their show on RFD TV, and in the tele-town halls for caregivers.

Tara has so many wonderful resources she shares with folks today.

Plus, John's music ...see if you know all the songs.

And BE SURE TO  listen to the Yard Stick Story!

A Conversation With Ken Tada

Today's show featured special guest: Ken Tada.  

Married to Joni Eareckson-Tada for 32 years, Ken understands the role of caregiver in ways that few do.  As "...two veteran caregivers with 60+ years of caregiving between them lean on their swords at the edge of the battle for a few moments," Ken and I share from our journey of trusting God with the brutal realities of being husbands through decades long disability and medical nightmares.

A special Valentine's Day episode for couple living with a disability ...and for couples struggling with other issues that need to hear from two men who've plumbed deep into God's faithfulness ...and found it greater than they imagined.

We love providing all this for free, but we need your help.  At Standing With Hope, we point to Christ while providing artificial limbs.  Please consider becoming a regular supporter of this work.
