Raising a daughter with a heart of compassion and Christ-like love means helping her see the dignity, value, and worth of every person—including those who are differently abled. But as parents, how do we guide our girls in developing genuine empathy and understanding? How can we equip them to navigate friendships with peers who have disabilities with confidence, kindness, and a Biblical Worldview?  In this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, host Patti Garibay, Founder & Executive Director of American Heritage Girls, welcomes Shauna Amick, disability rights advocate, mother of a child with Down syndrome, and a key member of Joni & Friends, the global ministry founded by Joni Eareckson Tada. Together, they explore how families can instill in their daughters the heart of Christ when it comes to inclusion, friendship, and honoring those with disabilities.  We'll dive into Shauna's powerful personal story—how her daughter's diagnosis transformed her faith and deepened her understanding of God's purpose in suffering. She shares insights on how parents can model and teach empathy, drawing from both scripture and her work with Joni & Friends. We'll also discuss practical ways to help young girls befriend and uplift peers with disabilities, address common fears or misconceptions, and reinforce the truth that every life is created in God's image.  Patti and Shauna also highlight the long-standing partnership between American Heritage Girls and Joni & Friends, including the development of the All God's Children Badge Program, AHG's Serving Persons Impacted by Disabilities National Day of Service Initiative, and the new children's book A Paintbrush for Joni.  If you're a parent, grandparent, or mentor looking for Christ-centered wisdom on raising a compassionate, service-minded daughter who sees all people through God's eyes, this episode is a must-listen.  To learn more about disability ministry resources that can transform your family's approach to inclusion and service, visit joniandfriends.org.  Find an American Heritage Girls Troop near you, visit americanheritagegirls.org       Add even more Biblical wisdom to your parenting quiver, visit raisinggodlygirls.com

Joni Eareckson Tada tenía solo 17 años cuando un accidente de buceo cambió su vida para siempre. Al quedar tetrapléjica, enfrentó una crisis de fe y desesperanza. Sin embargo, en medio del dolor, encontró en Dios la fortaleza para seguir adelante. En lugar de rendirse, se convirtió en una voz de esperanza para millones, fundando un ministerio para personas con discapacidad, escribiendo libros y compartiendo su testimonio de fe y perseverancia. Su historia nos recuerda que las circunstancias no definen nuestro propósito, sino la manera en que respondemos a ellas con la ayuda de Dios. A lo largo de la vida, enfrentamos pruebas que parecen insuperables. La enfermedad, la pérdida y la adversidad pueden hacernos dudar de la presencia de Dios. Sin embargo, la Escritura nos enseña que las tribulaciones no son el final, sino el proceso mediante el cual Dios nos moldea. La paciencia que nace del sufrimiento nos fortalece y nos llena de esperanza, porque sabemos que Dios está obrando incluso en los momentos más oscuros. Así que, ¿dónde estás buscando esperanza en medio de tus pruebas? Acércate a Dios, porque en Él hay propósito en cada proceso y fuerza para cada batalla. La Biblia dice en Romanos 5:3-4: “Y no solo esto, sino que también nos gloriamos en las tribulaciones, sabiendo que la tribulación produce paciencia; y la paciencia, prueba; y la prueba, esperanza” (RV1960).

Sign-up for my free 20-day devotional, The Word Before Work Foundations, at http://TWBWFoundations.com--Series: Work in HeavenDevotional: 2 of 5“Well done, my good servant!” his master replied. “Because you have been trustworthy in a very small matter, take charge of ten cities.” (Luke 19:17)We're in a series exploring 5 biblical truths about work on the New Earth. Today's passage hints at the second: We will be rewarded with varying degrees of responsibility based on how we live and work today.Now, if this sounds new to you, it's not your fault. Many churches never talk about eternal rewards. But Jesus did constantly. And one of the many rewards he promised is increased job responsibilities on the New Earth. This is one of the lessons of Jesus's parable of the minas (see Luke 19:11-27), which is similar to but distinct from the parable of the talents. The parable features a master (who represents Jesus) who asks a few servants to steward his minas (a form of money) while he goes on a journey. Upon his return, the master turns to the servants who have faithfully stewarded his minas and says, “Well done…Because you have been trustworthy in a very small matter, take charge of ten cities” (Luke 19:17). Many scholars believe this parable is pointing to a clear truth: While all Christians share equal status as adopted children of God, we will not all share equal station and responsibility on the New Earth. The great painter and activist Joni Eareckson Tada is properly motivated by this truth: “I don't want to be among the least,” she told me on the Mere Christians podcast. “I want to do everything I can to be as happy in heaven and as useful to the King as I possibly can.”Amen. I do too. And I‘m sure you want the same. So, what can we do today to prepare ourselves for maximum service to King Jesus on the New Earth? Here are two ideas. First, articulate where you see yourself professionally in 5 million years. Seriously. Make a list of jobs you'd love to do for God's glory free from the curse of sin and the tyranny of time. God gave you an imagination and the promise of eternal work you love. I'd be shocked to learn that he isn't delighted in watching you—his child—use your biblically informed imagination to cultivate greater hope for the future and faithfulness in the present. Second, write down one thing you can do today to prepare yourself for those roles on the New Earth. Instead of speaking first in today's meeting, humbly listen to others first. Volunteer to take on the shift or task nobody else wants. Instead of applying for a promotion, consider recommending a qualified friend who needs the raise more than you do. For whoever “wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all” (Mark 9:35).
