Episode 142 - Nothing to be Afraid of Here with Shauna Amick

“You have been hand selected by the Lord of the universe to be your child’s mother.”  Today, Stacy sits down with Joni and Friends’ Director of Radio Ministry, Shauna Amick as she shares her journey from fear to hope.  Listen in as she shares her story of how the Lord so lovingly opened her eyes to what she had been given, a delightful inheritance. About our Guest: Shauna Amick’s passion for the inherent worth and dignity of every human life was deeply solidified when her third child was diagnosed with Down syndrome, a near fatal heart defect, and a slew of other genetic abnormalities. As a speaker, author and disability rights advocate, Shauna shares the unique gift of viewing challenges through the lens of God’s Word, and does so with great transparency and vulnerability. Shauna serves as the Director of Radio Ministries for Joni and Friends, and can often be heard encouraging radio listeners alongside Joni Eareckson Tada. Scripture:  Psalm 16:5-6 (NIV)  Lord, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance. Psalm 27:13 (NIV) I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Luke 11:9-11 (NKJV) “So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish?
