S14E10 Belonging Without Barriers

The Parenting for Faith podcast

Show Notes

In today’s episode, we speak to Triona Brading, Lois Bunyan and Claire Wood, authors of Belonging without Barriers, which is a brand new book from BRF Ministries. Their book casts a vision of inclusion and full belonging within our churches and other Christian communities for those with additional needs. We chat about what that looks like in practice for those of us with children or teenagers with additional needs and those of us in churches who want to be better at welcoming people.
