Joanna French
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.

The Antidote to a Culture of Anger: Bearing Fruit

We have become incredibly angry. We are spiteful and hateful and bored. Jesus, what do we do with this? How do we fix it, Lord? The answer to most of my questions included a simple, time honored truth: we are to bear fruit.

Companionship: A Response to Social Isolation and Loneliness

Recently, a homeless stranger approached me for assistance to feed himself and his son. We discussed many things in our brief interaction before I said to him, “You matter, and you are a person.” His response stood out to me: “It feels good to be thought of as a person.” In that encounter, I practiced Companionship, something that can be offered to anyone we encounter.
