In this episode of Neurodivergent Faith, I sit down with author, speaker, ministry leader, and grandmother Kim Botto for a deeply compassionate conversation about creating church spaces where every child truly belongs.

Together, we explore what it means for churches to move beyond behavior management and toward curiosity, compassion, and connection—especially when supporting neurodivergent children, children impacted by trauma, and families who often feel unseen or misunderstood in church spaces.

Drawing from her book Boundless Hope for Every Child: Help for the Hurting, Compassion for the Misunderstood, Belonging for the Lonely, Kim shares practical wisdom for churches and children’s ministries, as well as personal reflections from her own experience as part of a neurodiverse family.

We talk about belonging, disability ministry, trauma-informed care, the spiritual harm many families experience when they don’t feel welcomed, and the hope of building communities that reflect the heart of Jesus more fully.
