Creating A Church With & For Families With Disabled Children


Listen Later

All churches, including progressive churches, struggle to create inclusive spaces for people with disabilities. In this episode, we are joined by Melissa Brasher, the mother of two amazing children, one of whom is disabled. We discuss her journey with her disabled son, the impact he has had on her and his community’s faith, and what churches can do to create spaces that are welcoming to all types of bodies.

Book Recommendations Mentioned in the Podcast Amy Kenny, “My Body Is Not A Prayer Request” Jessica McCabe, “How To ADHD”
