The Broken Vessels Podcast

My guest, Jared Michael Hiller, and I discuss the difficulties of being broken by being disabled, but how Christ and the comfort of the Gospel brings hope to those that struggle with disabilities in the church. We also talk about the need for awareness to treat our brother's and sister's in Christ with disabilities in a kind a gracious way.
