  • Wonderful encouragement

    I ran across the podcast the day after my autistic son injured both knees and was told he had to use a wheelchair for 4 weeks. We were both seriously sulking but then I listened and realized God could use this minor inconvenience to help us minister to those who are not only autistic but those who permanently wheelchair bound. Having an invisible disability is a very different experience from having a very obvious one.

    I am so incredibly for a podcast that not only stands in the gap for the special needs community but also provides a strong biblical foundation for the church.
