Johnnie Williams: Purpose, Not Punishment

from The Good Day · host Candace Cofer

If you’ve wondered if God loves you, if life is worth living, if God has a purpose for your life, Johnnie wants you to know the answer is yes, for he’s asked these same questions too. His is a powerful story of how God pursues us. His reckless love, which we know leaves the 99 in pursuit of the one, even when that means riding through a rolled over humvee with him, visiting you in a hospital when he were under intense isolation, sitting with him while he grieved deep loss and questioned the meaning of life.And God is pursuing YOU, too. While serving in the U.S. Army, Johnnie Williams had a terrible humvee accident, leaving him paralyzed and unable to walk. He eventually recovered from his injuries and competed in the 2016 Paralympics in Rio. Through all of his ups and downs, he can now see how God was with him all along - and drawing him near.C A N D A C E  C O F E Rauthor + speaker ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠website⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠instagram⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠youtube⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠facebook⁠
