In the season-six finale, Crystal Keating joins the show for one last time. Host Stephanie Daniels welcomes Crystal, the original voice of the Joni and Friends Ministry Podcast, this time on the other side of the mic. For six seasons, Crystal has offered biblical wisdom, comfort, and exhortation for individuals and churches to more effectively welcome people living with disabilities. Don’t miss this encouraging conversation where Crystal shares highlights from the past six seasons, responds to listener questions, and points with hope toward a future where every person with a disability finds hope, dignity, and their place in the body of Christ.
Crystal Keating has been part of Joni and Friends for over ten years helping the ministry answer thousands of calls, letters, and messages about disability, sharing resources, and holding fast to hope in Jesus through life’s greatest hardships. Her prayer for the Ministry Podcast is that each conversation will help listeners and their loved ones “bear much fruit” (John 15:8) in acts of love throughout the disability community.
