Love First Podcast: Looking for Jesus in All the Right Faces—Diversity, Equity, and Disabilities Pt 3

Called the most “invisible people in the world,” the one billion people living with disabilities are often invisible to the church. This is the most unchurched part of our U.S. population, but not for a lack of desire. We are calling the church to see Jesus in the faces of those who live with disabilities and to love first! Tonight we have an amazing conversation with Philip Woody and Jo Dooley Ekstedt about how to advocate for those with disabilities and practical steps on navigating resources and services.
