Episode 39 - Loving Our Friends With Special Needs
Manage episode 425695096 series 3453210
Our guest on the podcast is Pastor Joel Gaertner, the Director for Special Ministries of the WELS (Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod). The reality is that ALL of us have special needs, but many of us tend to wear them more on the inside than the outside. How can Christians and Churches be a more welcoming place for with special needs, especially those who have to navigate the challenges of bodies and minds that don't work the way that many others do.
We will spend some time talking about what people with special needs are wanting from their Christian brothers and sisters and how we can better reflect the hands and feet, the heart of Jesus to them. It's short and to the point, but here's a summary you can remember:
"Be Curious. Just do it! Fail forward. Keep going!" We hope this 40 minutes will be a good investment in our own self awareness to serve others!
