This week, Crystal is speaking with Jeannie Wronski who has a fascinating career as a pediatric occupational therapist. Although her work is centered on the physical aspects of a child’s development, Jeannie loves building relationships with the families she serves and using her career as an opportunity to meet the needs of the whole family.

    Sharing Love Abundantly – Jolene Philo Aug 29, 2019
    Show notes

    “When we speak of children with special needs, we know there is great diversity in the needs and abilities… But nothing is more important than meeting the emotional need for love. Just as the child’s body craves food, so the child’s spirit craves love. When their love tanks are full, children respond more fully to the rest of life.”

    On our last episode of the podcast, we heard from Dr. Gary Chapman about how the five love languages can strengthen your marriage and family life… especially when disability is involved. Today, Crystal is continuing the conversation about love languages with Jolene Philo, who co-authored Sharing Love Abundantly in Special Needs Families: The 5 Love Languages for Parents Raising Children with Disabilities with Dr. Gary Chapman. Drawing on her personal experience of raising a child with a life-threatening medical condition and 25 years of work as an educator collaborating with special education teachers to mainstream children in her elementary classroom, Jolene shares excellent advice for strengthening special needs families. Listen in for practical examples of how to fill the love tanks of your loved ones!

    The 5 Love Languages for Parents Raising Children with Special Needs – Dr. Gary Chapman Aug 22, 2019
    Show notes

    “The demands of caring for children who have medical conditions, developmental or cognitive delays, disabilities, behavior issues, are on the autism spectrum, or have other special needs can stress marriages to their breaking point. That’s the bad news. The good news is that care giving parents who know about and implement the love languages say they are a simple and effective way of filling a spouse’s love tank and reinforcing the glue that bonds them together.”

    • Dr. Gary Chapman

    Raising kids is daunting but raising children with special needs often brings a new set of challenges. With days regularly filled with doctor’s appointments, meetings with teachers, handling outside caregivers and therapists, and caring for other children, parents can quickly find themselves depleted and their marriages strained.

    But there is hope! Today on the podcast, Crystal is welcoming Dr. Gary Chapman, best-selling author and counselor who developed the 5 Love Languages. Dr. Chapman has counseled numerous parents of children with disabilities, and is sharing how the 5 love languages can help strengthen your family life, whatever your needs. Listen to his warm advice for protecting your marriage, discovering the love language of each of your children, and showing love to every member of your family even when time, money, and energy is limited. Don’t miss this insightful conversation!

    Depression and Anxiety When Life Is Going Well / Fostering and Adopting When Disability is Involved – Chris and Emily Norton Aug 15, 2019
    Show notes

    “I went through a time where I lost who I was – a deep depression where everything felt so hard. It was a struggle just to get through the day and I was at a point where I was wishing that I wasn’t here anymore… because of how hard days felt, even though I wasn’t living a hard life. It was the mental health that I was struggling with.”
    -Emily Norton

    On our last episode of the podcast we talked with Chris and Emily Norton, a couple who is anything but ordinary. Paralyzed in a college football game, Chris trained relentlessly and beat all odds to walk across the stage at his college graduation. Then three years later, he did it again, walking down the aisle to marry his lovely wife, Emily.

    But in between those two triumphant walks, the couple journeyed through some real challenges. Today they are back on the show to open up about Emily’s battle with disabling depression and anxiety at a time when her life seemed to be going well. They also share about what it’s like to foster and adopt when disability is involved, and the importance of having the loving support of a good church. We’ve got a great conversation for you today, so listen in!

    Listen to the first two chapters of Chris and Emily Norton’s new book, Seven Longest Yards: Our Love Story of Pushing the Limits While Leaning on Each Other.

    The Seven Longest Yards – Chris and Emily Norton Aug 08, 2019
    Show notes

    For Chris and Emily Norton, walking across the stage at his college graduation seemed like an impossible goal. Paralyzed in a football game his freshman year, Chris was given a three percent chance of moving anything below the neck again. But he trained relentlessly. With his then-fiancé Emily by his side, Chris’ triumphant 10 steps were seen by millions around the world!

    Little did they know, this was just the beginning of Chris and Emily’s incredible journey. Three years later, Chris joyfully conquered another challenge, this time walking seven yards down the aisle after their wedding ceremony with new wife Emily at his side – seven yards that symbolized the seven-year anniversary of his injury.

    But with all of their triumphs, Chris and Emily have also faced many challenges and struggles. Together they’ve fostered 17 children, adopted 5 daughters, and overcome a season of debilitating depression and anxiety that set in for Emily just two weeks after Chris’ graduation walk. Listen now as Chris and Emily share their story and the strength they found in fully relying on God and supporting one another.

    Subscribe to hear Chris and Emily talk more about fostering, parenting with a disability, and overcoming depression and anxiety next week on the Joni and Friends Ministry Podcast.

    Losing Sight, Gaining Vision – Kristin Hamer Jul 18, 2019
    Show notes

    When disability strikes, it can be easy for someone to wonder, Why me? What’s the purpose of my disability? At 8 years old, Kristin Hamer received the diagnosis of a genetic eye disease. And as her sight grew progressively worse, she did her best to hide her loss of vision; she didn’t want to accept it. But when her visual impairment reached the point that she was no longer able to be self-sufficient, Kristin had to confront her disability head on. She had to learn how to depend on others and God.

    Today on the podcast, Kristin shares how she came to terms with her challenges. Hear how she found contentment with her disability and how that brought her to a place of being able to minister to others with disabilities all over the world.
