E353: No Arms, No Legs, and the Craziest Love Story w/Nick Vujicic | E353 Lila Rose Show

No hands. No arms. A suicide attempt at age 10. One prophecy from a janitor and one chapter from the Gospel of John. This is the story of NickV, who has has preached to hundreds of millions, spoken to nearly 3 billion people, and talked for virtually every major nation on the planet. His story doesn't seem possible, but that's the point.
