Hadley Stephens is an advocate working towards the goal of a more inclusive world for people with disabilities. Hadley is a senior at Murray State University studying Nonprofit Leadership and a minor in Special Education. When in high school, Stephens started a blog called Rolling in Faith discussing disability & Christianity & her personal experiences as a disabled person in the faith community. Soon after starting the blog, Hadley realized that the lack of access that people had to churches that understood disabilities on a Biblical and functional level was staggering. Seeing this issue Hadley started Rolling in Faith a faith-based Nonprofit that is dedicated to providing fellowship & enrichment skills to people living with disabilities through events, camps, & other training all done in a faith-based setting. Rolling in Faith has started a summer skills program teaching life skills to adults & teens with disabilities. Taking participants into their community and teaching them skills necessary to succeed in life. After graduation, Hadley hopes to pursue her efforts with Rolling in Faith full time.

As I said in this episode, I'm going to be taking a little break from publishing the podcast for the summer. I hope you will follow the podcast so that you know when the next new episode comes out. I would love for you to take the summer to check out all 15 episodes if you missed any and it would be great if you could leave me some feedback on the FB page Hoping Forward Podcast, through the Anchor app voice message feature, or through email at lori.r.whitney@gmail.com. If you are able to rate and/or review the podcast on Spotify or Apple Podcast, that would help us spread the word to get people thinking about the way God works in our lives!
Have a blessed and happy summer!
