Embark on a transformative exploration with me, Tracie Corll, as we unearth the historical context behind inclusion and empowerment within ministry, particularly for individuals with disabilities. Drawing from the profound teachings in Beth Moore's "Breaking Free" and the academic insights of Chris Husslehoff, we scrutinize the ancient scriptures that have contributed to exclusionary practices and juxtapose them with the inclusive actions and teachings of Jesus. As we sift through a story of the Old Testament and the compassionate interactions of Jesus in the New Testament, we'll discover the powerful ways in which these narratives can reshape our approach to fostering a welcoming community for all.
This heartfelt episode serves as a beacon of hope, illuminating the path toward creating a church environment that celebrates the potential and contributions of every individual, including those with disabilities. We delve into the pressing need for inclusivity in our places of worship, following the exemplary model of Jesus Christ, who reached out to those often overlooked by society. By sharing stories of healing and acceptance from the scriptures, we reaffirm our resolve to cultivate a ministry that not only acknowledges but also embraces the unique gifts of each community member, ensuring that the church truly is a home for everyone. Join the conversation and be part of a movement that champions inclusion and empowerment in ministry.
