Becoming Church

Amy Julia Becker: Reimagining Disability


Listen Later

Disability isn’t a problem to fix and wholeness isn’t a cure. Advocate Amy Julia Becker believes we’ve been told an incomplete story about disability, and it isn’t synonymous with suffering. Human brokenness and human limitations are not the same thing.

In this episode, Amy Julia explains what it really means to live a good life, especially after a diagnosis that shifts your expectations. This conversation is for every parent navigating the unknown, for anyone working to unlearn ableist beliefs, and for all of us asking how to become a more empathetic, inclusive community.

Whether you’re a parent of a child with a disability or someone seeking to better understand and support the disability community, this episode invites you to a more expansive vision of love, dignity, and justice.
