Indispensable People

When a family with a child with special needs walked into our church, something extraordinary happened. Their journey of finding a spiritual home in a place that may not have been designed with them in mind sparked a powerful conversation about inclusivity and love. Welcome to a very special 30th milestone episode of "Indispensable People," where I, Tracie Corll, open hearts and doors to an often-overlooked truth: Our churches can become havens for individuals with disabilities not through grand designs, but through the simple acts of embrace and understanding rooted in scripture. We share stories that will move you and insights that will challenge you to see beyond the physical needs to the spiritual kinship we all share.
This episode is not just a talk; it's an invitation to transform. It's about recognizing the uniqueness and value each person brings to our faith communities, including those with disabilities. Discover how a genuine personal connection can be the bridge that allows someone to fully participate and contribute to church life. We discuss the practical steps toward creating environments where everyone can engage with their faith in meaningful ways, stressing that this journey does not require an overhaul of structures or programs, but an open heart and a willingness to grow organically. Join us as we celebrate the indispensable role of each member of our congregations, ensuring that no one is left behind.
