That  feeling of being uneducated or that I don't belong at the table is all-too-familiar for me and many of the people I have meet. 

Let's find out what uneducated really means and what a few great people like Albert Einstein and Jesus have to say about being uneducated. Take a deep breath with me as we talk about learning to sit at a table with others. Even if that table is filled with people who don't know what it is like to have a learning disability.

Have you ever told yourself  I can do this by myself? It is a very common phrase that I would tell myself all the time. Let's get real, we can't do much alone and if I was being honest I don't want to do the hard things alone, I have just convinced myself that it was what I needed to do. In this podcast I share how I found a community when I wasn't even looking for one. Community helped me understand I wasn't alone when I found out I was dyslexic. It was a community that helped me understand my calling to be a pastor as well and I still walk with these communities to this day!

I am sure you know all about the app Audible, but do know the back story on how it was founded? The year audible was founded shocked me.

I went into how listening to books can help our mental health and how important then audio book are for people who having learning disabilities. I am not sure I would be where I am in my career if it wasn't for Audible. Audible opened a whole new world for me. As a kid who never seem to be able to read on my own to an adult that loves books!

Check out this interview with an Oklahoma teacher who wrote a children's book about the towns favorite storyteller and how he struggles with dyslexia. Sarah Philpot poured so much love into a book that was inspired by her own family. This book might be defined  as a children's book, but is for anyone who is dyslexic or if you love someone who is dyslexic. I really can not say enough good things about Sarah Philpot and her book. I hope you love sarah story as much as I did! Please considering giving this podcast 5 starts and checking me out on social media. *Karrie Roberts

Today is a big day! Dyslexic Pastor Podcast has the pleasure of interviewing our first author. William Manzanares wrote a Beautiful book about his reading struggles and how he is helping other in his Journey as a businessman. William's book really opened my eyes up to how many people are truly struggling in the dark with a learning disability! I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did talking to William. His book can be found on Amazon and audible. Personally i got the book on both outlets and enjoyed both of them. The book it's self is wrote in a dyslexic way that makes it super easy to read. If you are in your 30's and struggles with reading issues I have no doubt that you will read something you did in school to keep your head above water! Or this could possibly still be you right now.  Check those links out below and get you a copy of this book today!  Check out William web site as well!
