Nick Vujicic: A living refutation of abortion's culture of death

theblaze.com · 3h · first reportShare

There are some people whose lives make you reconsider the way you’re living your own. Nick Vujicic is one of them. We live in a culture increasingly comfortable deciding which lives are worth living. Born in Australia without arms or legs, Vujicic faced challenges few of us can imagine. Even with the love and support of his family, bullying, loneliness, and depression took a heavy toll. By the age of 10, he had sunk so deeply into despair that he contemplated taking his own life. But Nick soon found something stronger than despair: hope in his Christian faith. He came to understand that his life was not a mistake and that his disability didn’t rob him of meaning or purpose. Vujicic went on to become an international best-selling author, husband, father, and one of the most sought-after motivational speakers in the world. His 2013 appearance on Oprah Winfrey’s "Lifeclass" introduced his story to a global audience. To date, he’s spoken in person to 11 million people across 87 countries.
