When tragedy strikes in our lives, its challenging to find joy and trust Gods goodness. Todays guest on Family Talk is Joni Eareckson Tada, who honestly explores the question of why God allows tragedy. She talks with Dr. Dobson about her horrific diving accident that left her paralyzed from the shoulders down and emboldens listeners to continue in trusting God, even if they can’t track His purposes.
