What this episode covers
Justin McRoberts explores the relationship between ADHD, neurodivergence, and spiritual formation. He critiques how ADHD is labeled as a "disorder," challenging the assumption that neurodivergent people are fundamentally "out of order." He unpacks how society's expectations shape the experience of ADHD, particularly in men, and discusses how spirituality is about human wholeness rather than a separate aspect of life. Drawing from personal experiences, coaching insights, and books like Stolen Focus and Driven to Distraction, Justin reframes ADHD not as a deficiency but as a different way of experiencing the world. He encourages listeners to rethink education, spirituality, and self-care in ways that honor neurodivergence.
