Let's explore how spiritual development applies to people with disabilities, focusing on practical strategies for discipleship and growth within church communities. With 25% of Americans having a disability but over 80% absent from churches, this episode examines how to create accessible pathways for everyone to know Christ, grow in relationship with Him, and serve using their unique gifts.
• Building physical and programmatic accessibility as the foundation for ministry
• Creating intentional mentorship and friendship opportunities that foster spiritual growth
• Adapting learning methods to accommodate different abilities without compromising content
• Equipping people with disabilities to serve in their areas of giftedness
• Recognizing that spiritual development is a process requiring intentionality and relationship
• Shifting perceptions from viewing people with disabilities as ministry projects to co-laborers in Christ
