God‘s story is the story of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. But it‘s also humanity‘s story, the story of a world fallen and blown apart and of a world reshaped and restored. It‘s the beginning of all beginnings and the end of all ends. Join Brent Siddall and the Rev Ian ‘Reido‘ Reid as they explore God, time, salvation and the cosmos. Explore the stories of Western culture as they pivot and interact with the main narrative of salvation history.

‘People with disabilities are often excluded from full participation in church communities’. Churches must both consider the theological implications of disability and also become places where people with disabilities lead.
Brent talks with Jody Michele and Andrea Mae, two of the authors (with Andrew Draper) of a new IVP book called ‘Disabling Leadership: A Practical Theology for the Broken Body of Christ’.
Jody is a locally licensed minister at Urban Light Community Church in Muncie, Indiana and an independent consultant on issues relating to disability.
Andrea is a leader at Urban Light Community Church where she serves on the church board and chairs the pastor/parish committee. She works in special education and advocacy for the disability community, presenting at multiple organisations and universities.
