Jacob's Story: Finding Joy in the Midst of Suffering with Ken and Mary Sue Grein

from The Common Good Podcast · host Brian From

What if the child doctors told you to let go became the greatest teacher of your life? Brian From sits down with Ken and Mary Sue Grein, whose son Jacob defied every medical expectation — living 37 remarkable years despite cerebral palsy, deafness, a kidney transplant, and a lifetime of physical challenges. Far from a story of hardship, Jacob's life was defined by joy, humor, and a remarkable ability to draw out the best in everyone he met. Ken and Mary Sue share how Jacob transformed their family, shaped their three other children, and pointed them all toward a deeper faith. They also discuss the upcoming film adaptation of Jacob's life and where you can find his story today. If you're carrying something heavy right now, this conversation is for you.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
