Program #1 – The Big Bad News
Notes (quoted directly from LightSource.Com): Most of us will face three stages of suffering in life—diagnosis, duration, and death. In this session with guests Joni Eareckson Tada and Dr. Michael Easley, we learn biblical and practical principles for how to faithfully respond when we first learn tragic news regarding our health, life’s problems, or the life of a loved one.
Program #2 – The Duration
Notes (quoted directly from LightSource.Com): After the initial shock of a diagnosis or bad news in our lives, there is the ongoing realization of its impact. In this session, called “The Duration,” Dr. Michael Easley and Joni Eareckson Tada share some of the ways they have dealt with the tedious and often-painful experiences associated with the daily grind of chronic pain and disability.
Program #3 – Approaching the End
Notes (quoted directly from LightSource.Com): In this program, we take a look at the inevitable end of suffering that follows the diagnosis and duration—the reality of death. We will also face it, yet we are often afraid to discuss the issue or prepare to end well. Joni Eareckson Tada and Dr. Michael Easley address the reality of facing death from both Scripture and their own personal experiences.
Program #4 – What about the Care-Giver?
Notes (quoted directly from LightSource.Com): One of the greatest challenges of serving as a caregiver is endurance. The lack of sleep, ongoing needs, and tedious aspects of daily life can often be endured for a season but take their toll over time. In this session, we’ll hear as the Tadas and Easleys share the highs and lows of caregiving and the ways God has used their experiences to change lives.
