Parenting Children with Disabilities, God's Grace for Today and the Gift of the Un-know (Interview with Laura Wifler)

Episode Summary

We have the executive director for the non-profit Risen Motherhood and talented Author Laura Wifler, on today's show. This interview is a sweet and transparent conversation about children with disabilities. Laura shares stories from her own life about how God has used motherhood, in particular mothering a child with disabilities, to transform her, as well as her family and her ministry. She has a beautiful purpose to help create conversations, normalize disabilities, and train others to interact with people of all ages with disabilities. We hear how Laura educates her kids through great family phrases and helpful heart-to-heart conversations. Laura gives us some wise advice in handling the complexities of being in a family with disabilities, and she speaks to the grace God gives us each day. We also explore the healthy practice of holding grief, sorrow, hope, and joy. We hope today's show is an encouragement to families that have members with disabilities and to help serve as an education to those who don't. Enjoy!
