It’s About Fulfilling Your Destiny: Founder of ‘Life Without Limbs’ Tells Beck His Inspiring Life Story

Nov. 18, 2012 10:47am Tiffany Gabbay

In the wake of what has been weeks of disheartening news, Glenn Beck took a moment on Friday to meet Nick Vujicic, star of the short independent film, “Butterfly Circus,” and discuss his extraordinary life story. Vujicic was born with amelia syndrome, a rare disorder characterised by the absence of all four limbs. Nonetheless, despite his struggles, the Australian-born author, performer and motivational speaker has gone on to achieve great heights.

Living up to the title of his book, “Unstoppable,” Vujicic has, with the nurturing and support of a loving family, gone on to lead a life those with few to no impediments only dream of.

He spoke of his trials being brought up in a devout Christian home led by his pastor-father, and of questioning God over his disability. Through it all, Vujicic, who is founder of “Life Without Limbs, found meaning and purpose in life and has now set out to help others surmount their own difficulties.

Watch the inspirational interview below:

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

What a coincidence! A friend of mine recently bought me an inspirational book written by this man.

A truly amazing man, and a wonderful testimony to God’s using EVERY life. I love that he has shoes in his closet just in case God wants to give him some legs! Great! God bless him, and God bless Glenn.

Nick has been to our church to speak and also to several of our High Schools. He is an inspiration to all who see and hear him speak. I wonder how many teens he has reached over the years that thought their lives were tough and not worth living, and then to see what a man with no limbs has accomplished. He is a one of a kind and the Lord is using him every day to spread the Joy.

Glenn is right. If you haven’t seen it, stop what you’re doing and spend the next half hour watching “Butterfly Circus.” I happened across it by accident via StumbleUpon, and was quite literally blown away. The film itself is more than moving (not to mention extraordinarily well done), but I was even more moved when I spent the next hour googling Nick Vujicic.

Perhaps the best compliment I can give Mr. Vujicic is this: The first place I looked wasn’t google, it was the Internet Movie Database. And it wasn’t for him. No, I wanted to see who’d done such brilliant special effects for “Butterfly Circus.” Imagine my shock when I learned there weren’t any effects involved. And then try to imagine my growing admiration when I learned more about the man who starred.

Wow. WOW. Mr. Vujicic, not to worry. You have a greater, more profound responsibility and purpose than most, and you’re living up to it brilliantly!

  Why can’t I find a wife like his? She is a hottie tottie. One thing this guy has going for him besides his winning personality is his cool Australian accent. I’m sure the ladies like his Aussie accent.

  Watch Butterfly Circus. It’s on YouTube and only 20 min long. You will evolve into a beautiful butterfly too.

Oh, goodness. GOD BLESS you, Nick V. Your gentle boldness and deep joy bring me to my knees. Someday, when I “grow up”, I want to be like you.

Thank YOU, GOD, for letting Nick (Nicholas?) live at such a time as this. How needy we are revealed in his witness to YOU. In JESUS’ MIGHTY name we do pray, amen.
