*Last chance to register for tomorrow's Scripture Memory w/ Kids training!
Hey [CORRECTED_NAME GOES HERE], can you imagine what it would be like to live forty years of your life and then suddenly go 100% blind? It sounds like a nightmare, and while it's been a huge challenge for Pastor Chad Roberts, he also told me:
"There's been far more gain than there's been loss."
If you enjoyed the Joni Eareckson Tada interview a few weeks ago, this newest episode is going to blow you away.
For example, Chad talks about how difficult it is to dream in vivid color and then wake up in total darkness. It becomes so depressing that he almost can't get out of bed.
But the way that the Lord has taught him to overcome these emotional lows is something we can all learn from (I know I can!). Chad also shares some unique auditory methods that help him memorize both Scripture and his preaching notes.
**Book Giveaway! Don't miss the giveaway of Chad's book toward the end of this email.
๐ฃ a Blind Pastor's journey into Memorization
On Sunday morning, Pastor Chad Roberts wakes up and goes to church. He doesn't bring his Bible. He doesn't bring any notes. And yet he is 100% prepared to preach.
