Being pro-life is more than a bumper sticker or a picket sign. Being pro-life isn’t just about the words we say or the box we check on a ballot. Being pro-life is a way of life.

When parenting a child with special needs, it’s easy to fix your eyes on the next surgery, therapy, diet or appointment. But it’s often difficult to simply embrace and enjoy your child in the moment.

If there’s nothing we could ever do to deserve God’s love, then we would not only see God’s heart for those with disabilities, but for us all.

When it comes to disability inclusion, most people want to love well but do not know what that looks like or where to start.

We often forget that many Bible stories contain heroes, God’s chosen, who faced unique personal challenges and hardships.

The inclusion of people with disabilities in our churches isn’t merely a pro-life issue. It is also a Biblical one.
