Faith, Church & Disability

What’s This Podcast
About?

This podcast explores the experience of disability and Christian faith. In these episodes we’ll hear from people living with disability, and reflect on our response as a believing community. For those without personal or family experience of disability, lack of awareness can make us unsure about what to say or how to act. But Jesus calls us to a creative response: a community which God describes as a body. It is a broken body and it needs us all. We are all more blessed as we include another, serve one another and receive back from one another. This podcast partners with international development charity CBM (Christian Blind Mission) New Zealand. CBM works alongside and is accountable to people with disabilities in the world’s poorest places. They work with the most marginalised in society to break the cycle of poverty and disability, fight exclusion and seek to help build inclusive communities where everyone can enjoy their human rights and achieve their full potential. Spring 2023 sees the first 5 episodes drop: In the first 3 episodes we hear from people living with disabilities, episode 4 we hear from a parent of children with disabilities, and episode 5 has a theologian-pastor-researcher open up their work on faith and disability. Episodes dropping fortnightly starting 25 September. Available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
