The Gift of Friendship on the Hard Road

In this episode of Raising Autistic Disciples, Larah sits down with her friend Kari Baker for a conversation that didn't go as planned in the best way.

What started as a simple podcast recording turned into an honest, heartfelt conversation about friendship, waiting on God, the struggle of wanting answers now, and the temptation to reach for control when life feels uncertain. Together, Larah and Kari talk about autism parenting, faith, social media, idols, patient endurance, and the gift of having people in your life who can help hold your arms up when the road feels heavy.

Kari also shares about her ministry, KIND Families [https://kindfamilies.com/], her journey as an autism mom, and the heart behind her book Finding KIND.

If you are raising an autistic child and feel tired, overwhelmed, or alone, this conversation will remind you to look to the Lord, receive the gift of friendship, and keep trusting that He is sustaining you on the journey.
