How Curiosity and a Few New Strategies Can Expand the Kingdom.
Disability and the Church Conference 2024: Parents of kids with disabilities or kids who have experienced trauma often leave the church because they either don't feel welcome, or they are told the church is unable to accommodate their child. By raising awareness of invisible disabilities and the affects of trauma, the church can provide a safer and more welcoming environment for all kids. When one child is turned away, the church misses the opportunity to disciple and care for a whole family. Helping the church be more curious, instead of making assumptions based on a child's behavior can have huge impact.
