This week on the Accessible Hunter Podcast we’re bringing you a different kind of conversation… and it’s a powerful one.

We’re joined by Dr. Laurie Thompson — an educator, author, and advocate who lives at the intersection of faith, disability, and real-world inclusion.

At just 14 years old, Laurie was in a devastating car accident that left her permanently disabled. That moment didn’t just change her life, it shaped her purpose.

We get into:

• Life after a life-changing injury

• Finding purpose through pain (without the clichés)

• The difference between being included vs. just being allowed in

• How communities—whether it’s churches or hunting camps can do better with accessibility

This episode hits on something we talk about all the time… just from a different angle.

It’s about identity.

It’s about belonging.

And it’s about making sure everyone has a place—no matter where that is.

🎙️ This one will make you think.

Please check out her two books on Amazon.
