Church culture often overlooks a startling reality - while 25% of Americans have a disability, 80% aren't in our churches. This disconnect between our theology and practice demands a shift in perspective to recognize that different is not less.
• Every person is created in God's image, regardless of ability

• God's plan may look different than expected, as illustrated by Tracy's foster care journey
• Stephanie Hubach's book "Parenting and Disabilities: Abiding in God's Presence" offers a valuable perspective

• God values diversity and has imparted dignity to every person
• The body of Christ requires diversity to function as designed
