Internalized Ableism

“I am disabled. For years that was so hard to admit. I couldn’t mention out loud my neurodivergence. I whispered about my post-traumatic stress disorder, insisting ‘I’m better now.’ I was a champion for the disabled who didn’t want to talk about her own disabilities. It was disingenuous, but I didn’t know how to come to terms with the fact that I was disabled. I was still scared that admitting my disability publicly would convince people I was not able to do anything.” Joanna French writes on her experience with disability.

Mental Health, Medicine and Ministry - October 10, 2023

Romantic chatbots are being developed offering suggestive selfies, sexually explicit (and apparently, realistic) conversations, and the ability to design a virtual girlfriend’s personality who is judgment-free, encourages users to spend more time with male friends and laughs at all of your jokes. What will the impact be on our ability to engage in authentic relationships that potentially lead to marriage? Or the impacts upon self-image for those unable to live up to the images in brains scarred by pornography?

Wells of Generosity: Do You Have Enough Resources for Disability Ministry?

God often does much with little. These Kenyan pastors don’t see all the resources that are lacking. They see their own bodies and energies, and have plans to do more with the resources within themselves than many of us do with the luxuries in our culture.

The obligation of church leaders who promote adoption

Are we as church called to care for orphans? You bet. Are we expected to use the gifts and talents entrusted to us to support families who respond to such a noble calling? They should expect nothing less!
