When Disability Hits Home
from Karisa Schlehr Dec 03, 2010 Category: R.C. Sproul
What happens when disability really hits home—when God hands you a challenge that tests your convictions in practical, heart wrenching ways? The Sproul family was featured in an episode of “Joni and Friends” which offered a glimpse into the life of Shannon Sproul, daughter of R.C. Sproul Jr. with a severe disability. This episode recently won a Silver Telly Award, which honors the very best local, regional, and cable television commercials and programs, as well as the finest video and film productions, and work created for the Web.
In addition to the Sprouls, Chuck Colson shares the life-changing reality of having a grandchild with autism. This episode provides a rare look into their personal lives, where you’ll see how Colson’s grandson, Max, and Shannon Sproul have brought challenges and blessings to their families. Through these two children, God’s sovereignty, compassion, and tenderness are undeniably displayed.
