Wonderful Works Talks - Disability Ministry Podcast

Feb 16 2024 • 49 mins

"How would the world be different if we gave grace to everyone, even if we didn't know their back story?" Well, today we are going to talk to author and podcast host, Amy J. Brown, about what it feels like to be a parent of children with attachment disorder, whose behaviors are visible even when their disability is hidden. Learn what's more important than solving problems, what parents of children with hidden disabilities really want from church, and why it's important to not miss the bid for connection - even when it's awkward.

A quick note on disability terms:

Before you listen I wanted to talk to you about something important about our podcast, and that is how we will be referring to disability during our discussions. We want you to know that at Wonderful Works Ministry, we know that words matter. We will strive to use preferred language regarding disability. But we also understand that preferred terms change over time and also can be subjective and vary from person to person, even among those with a shared diagnosis. With this in mind, we ask that you understand that we, here at Wonderful Works, and our guests may use a variety of terms on this show and in our resources. Please know that we will always approach language with inclusion, dignity and respect, and we hope you will too. Thank for listening!
