[@bradlarsen6817]

Thank you, Andy and Jason, both for your service and for this great podcast! And thank you, Jason, for helping Ukrainian people!!

[@lindacunningham9343]

I am disabled and I know of this organization and I know Joni’s story. I’m so glad that they are helping in Ukraine.i hope everyone will donate to her ministry so that disabled people around the world are helped. And yes if you don’t know someone who is disabled you don’t think about it. (No judgement just an observation) Don’t wait until something happens.

[@jaxiechann4711]

What a rad guy! Like Andy said I never thought about how disabled people were affected during war. Really opened my eyes! Great episode!

[@jvzabala98]

I heard Gulfport and my neck snapped, as a bee it’s cool to hear these incredible stories from people from our small community with the Navy

[@carrimamaradlo5351]

Jason has always had a good heart. Bless you JJ!

[@rebeccapelegrin7898]

[@brittanyreno3596]

Jason is my cousin and I’m so incredibly proud of all he has, and continues to accomplish! Thanks for sharing his story!

Absolutely brilliant and legendary interview, Andy and the team, as well as Jason and his team. I really enjoy this content.

adaptive help is great - especially wheelchair program we do adaptive snow skiing events here at Taos. I drive the Bi-ski (strapped into a sled with 2 skis and a helmet you can go down the mountain as fast as you want to go). The most wounded warriors just love to go ballistic faster than all the skiers we pass them and can spin doing 1080 slides, jumps, anything. If you have more mobility we have ski equipment for that also. I will go in special to set it up if anyone is interested.

Awesome

I'm starting a non profit specifically for this reason. I was in ukraine from May to September 2022 and I'm back. What tore me up most was seeing all those disabled and poor eastern ukranians with no way out. I had no idea the Joni non profit even existed. Whatever I can do to help your organization, please don't hesitate to ask.

[@danielgiammo8102]

Good stuff

It’s unfortunate that some of the richest people in the world, can’t set up a trust through this amazing organization, so that parents don’t have to worry about what happens to their children when they’re gone. So much government waste and abuse makes this story even sadder. Y’all are heroes doing god’s work.

[@COBBADAMS]

1st fookers!!! Great show guys! Thank you both!

[@internet_internet]

And?

The Founding Documents of Our Great Republic were heavily influenced by the Bible. My Patriotism has always been my sense of morality; "faith" (I blame the Boy Scouts 😉). The older I get, the more I understand the importance of learning the influence and someday embracing the lessons ❤

Is Joni and Friends Joni Erickson Tada’s ministry?

Andy, I hear your pull to christ in the way you describe the envy of conviction. The bible says in Matthew 7:7-8Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Start moving in the right direction and the lord will fill in the gaps. Let your sarcasm and cynicism go just for a bit. If you see that all basic morality is based on biblical truth, which is evident in your question, how much more proof do you need that there's even a chance that it's all true. Eternity is a big thing to gamble. Love cleared hot and CA! God bless
