Made in His Image: God’s Goodness, Grace, and Glory in Disability
Introduction Today we have the privilege of welcoming Thomas’ wife Cristy on the program to talk about raising their son with special needs and what the Bible has to say about disability. Questions Can you share a bit about your journey? How is Isaiah doing currently? What have been some of the greatest challenges you’ve faced in raising a child with special needs? How has Scripture shaped your understanding of disability over the years? Are there specific passages that have influenced your theology? How have you seen God bring blessings into your lives and others' lives through your son's disability? What role do you believe people with disabilities should have within the church community? In what ways can the church serve individuals and families affected by disability, and how can they, in turn, serve the church? How important is it to have a biblical understanding of the sanctity of human life when approaching the subject of disability? What advice would you give to a family currently dealing with disability or preparing to face it soon? Questions Can you explain how we are saved by faith alone in light of what James 2:24 says? – “You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.” – Anonymous
