‘People with disabilities are often excluded from full participation in church communities’. Churches must both consider the theological implications of disability and also become places where people with disabilities lead.
Brent talks with Jody Michele and Andrea Mae, two of the authors (with Andrew Draper) of a new IVP book called ‘Disabling Leadership: A Practical Theology for the Broken Body of Christ’.
Jody is a locally licensed minister at Urban Light Community Church in Muncie, Indiana and an independent consultant on issues relating to disability.
Andrea is a leader at Urban Light Community Church where she serves on the church board and chairs the pastor/parish committee. She works in special education and advocacy for the disability community, presenting at multiple organisations and universities.
