The WGBD “When God is Black and Disabled” Podcast with and by Black women of faith with disabilities both amplifies our voices and seizes the teachable moment to assist preachers in developing a hermeneutic of disability.  This week’s episode lays the foundation upon which future programming is built--interpreting familiar stories to amplify the disability narrative within our sacred texts. This episode is more apologetic and establishes an ethos of disability as God’s good work instead of regarding disability as accidental or punitive.  Future episodes will be character studies. In between full teaching episodes, Black women of faith with disabilities and chronic illnesses will be our special guests sharing troubles, triumphs, and testimony of how God, the Imago Dei, is incarnate through them!   Today’s lesson is taught by Rev. Raedorah C. Stewart, the host--Director of Christian Education at Covenant Baptist United Church of Christ and Director of the Writing Center at Wesley Theological Seminary.
