Description

In today's episode, Nick Warnes has a dialogue with Rev. Dr. Bethany McKinney Fox, the Director of Spiritual Formation for Cyclical LA. She is the organizing pastor of Beloved Everybody Church in Los Angeles, an ability-inclusive community where people with and without intellectual and other disabilities lead and participate together. Her recent book Disability and the Way of Jesus (2019, IVP Academic) explores how to follow the healing way of Jesus to create communities of mutual thriving. 

She also wrote a chapter in Cyclical INC's recent book, Faithful Innovation, which we discuss in our dialogue. You can get the book at cyclicalchurches.com/faithful-innovation-book

Here are some quotes from today's interview: 

• "God is wildly free and can do anything that God wants to do to heal a person's body."
• "Even if a person is dying, that doesn't mean that there isn't healing happening there."
• "What's happening in your body matters."
• "When we're in worship, it's often a wall of words. The reality is we're embodied."
