Beauty Beyond the Thorns – Darci Steiner

Beauty Beyond the Thorns  Darci Steiner

Many people have led lively, energetic, productive lives and have had nary any health problems. Others have been plagued from the beginning with health issues. Still more have lead healthy lives and then been plagued with health issues.

But, despite what group you may have just put yourself in, every single person, myself included, can live a full, productive life – regardless of health problems.

It is GOD living within us that matters. It is living a Spirit filled and Spirit led life that will determine our life fulfillment.  I’m not saying it is easy… Pastor Bob has had his health issues ever since my accident in 2007. But God is still God and Jesus is still on the Throne and by His stripes, I am healed. Amen!

That being said, I do know there are now limitations to what I can do that are amplified a bit, if I can call it that, not only in getting older, but due to the accident and subsequent surgeries, etc.

What I’m trying to say is this – JESUS IS LORD.  Amen!  What He did for one, He will do for you.

Our guest today has also experienced debilitating health issues – and “By His Stripes, she was HEALED!”  Amen!

Darci Steiner is an author, speaker and nutritionist. She has served in full-time ministry and assisted with church plants in Denver, CO and Los Angeles, CA. Back in 2003, Darci nearly died after a series fall down the stairs in her home. This fall left her seriously disabled. During her recovery, she applied herself and earned a Master of Science in Holistic Nutrition and implemented natural remedies into her diet which helped to save her life.

Darci became disabled a second time after a foot injury in 2018. During this time, she authored a award-winning book titled, “Beauty Beyond the Thorns: Discovering Gifts in Suffering.” In this book, Darci speaks about how God uses suffering in our lives to bring about Spiritual Healing.

To learn more about this important subject and learn more about this great book, help me welcome to the program, Darci Steiner!  Darci, it is a blessing to be able to speak with you and I want to thank you for taking the time to join us today.

Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Darci Steiner?

Let’s go back before the fall down the stairs.  Who was Darci Steiner back then?

What kind of injuries did you suffer after falling down the stairs?

How did this impact your life and your family at that time?

In your book, “Beauty Beyond the Thorns,” you share how God provides hope and direction for His people in times of suffering. Can you explain that for us?

How did your injury transform the way you looked at life and God’s plans for you?

You share that “Goals are to help people to understand that suffering is never wasted.”  Can you go a little deeper on that for us?

You were able to fully recover from your ordeal through prayer and nutrition and, obviously, lot’s of physical therapy, exercise, etc. Can you share with us how readers of your book will learn how to do the same thing?

There are examples of others in the Bible who suffered greatly. Their stories also serve to inspire us how God can use suffering for His good. Can you share a few of those examples for us?

In your book, “Beauty Beyond the Thorns,” you share 30 gifts you learned while going through your ordeal of disability. Can you share just a couple of them in the time we have left?

You also have a Study Guide that goes along with your book, “Beauty Beyond the Thorns.” Can you share what the Study Guide is used for in support of the book?

Darci, this has been so interesting. Praise God for you in writing this book. I know it will be a blessing to your readers. If someone wanted to order a copy of your book, how can they do that? Is it on Amazon?

If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or possibly to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?

I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.

Folks, what Darci has gone through, she did not go through it alone. That is the whole purpose of this interview and the entire purpose of her book, “Beauty Beyond the Thorns: Discovering Gifts in Suffering.”

If you are experiencing a season of suffering, you will find hope, humor, and healing throughout the pages of “Beauty Beyond the Thorns: Discovering Gifts in Suffering.” Modern-day stories of suffering are paralleled with similar biblical accounts that will both enrich your understanding of the Bible and provide hope for your personal journey.

About your host

Profile picture for TS Wright

TS Wright

Hello. My name is TS Wright, and I am the voice of the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast and author/TV host of the God Centered Concept.

For the past 33 years I have been involved in Christian ministry. Ranging from ministry, teaching and coaching in both public and private high schools and college, I have worked with students, athletes and adults from all walks of life. I have been involved with a host of Christian organizations included but not limited to CRU, FCA and other outreach & church affiliated ministries. Also being ordained in Christian ministry and being both a biblical and historical scholar I have focused on Discipleship, Biblical truth, prophecy & historical theology. I have also authored 4 books, a journal and a devotional series which are all now in the editing phase.

In 2003 and 2004 the Lord cast a series of visions on my life as to what would become the God Centered Concept.

In 2016, the Lord called me to start writing.

In 2019, He cast another series of visions that has led me to now.

In 2023, I was led to starting Podcasting and through divine intervention found Pastor Bob. I became a frequent guest speaker on the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast and being led by the Lord I have taken ownership of the Podcast.

I welcome all of you who are a part of the Kingdom Cross Roads community as well as everyone who is just joining our community as we continue to work to advance the Gospel and spark a Great Harvest. By expanding our message to the NOW TV Network it is our prayer that we can maintain the same level of quality messages and engaging conversations that you have been accustomed to. We thank you for your commitment to this community and we ask for your support and prayers as we strive to glorify God in all that He calls us to do.
