In the first installment of a mini-series on disability in the Church, the Overtones Podcast hosts discuss disability in the Bible and in Christian history.

Why did so many Christians of the past have such a negative view of physical and mental infirmity? How does Jesus' example challenge those ideas? How can we welcome into the Church people who are different from us? Why does the Bible's perspective on disability teach us about God's nature?

Listen in, as Christy, Joe, and LaRae discuss these questions and more.

Producers: Matthew and LaRae Cherukara
