In a return to our new summer series, seeking wisdom from the stories and

voices of women throughout the Christian tradition, Pastor Mike Yager

shares insights from the life and unique calling of Joni Eareckson Tada and

the story of Jacob in Genesis; in both cases, journeys transformed by the

reality of disability. A perspective often neglected, stories like that of

Joni and so many others challenge the ableist assumptions within our

culture (the church included), and are a resounding call to the vitality of

vulnerability.
