from Indispensable People · host Tracie Corll

Send us Fan MailWe respond to a viral controversy around abortion after a Down syndrome diagnosis by slowing down and asking what makes a life valuable when the future feels unknown. We wrestle with fear, disability, and real-life parenting questions while holding tight to Scripture, prayer, and the conviction that God has purpose for every person. • why disability affects every community and why many families still avoid church • how controversy raises deeper questions about the value of life • why we do not pretend to know the future or play God • what Scripture says about image-bearing and purpose amid weakness • a personal story about a prenatal test result that was wrong • how to encourage someone without judgement when they are scared • questions parents ask when facing a diagnosis and what support should look like • why gospel accessibility matters for people with disabilities and their families If you want to dive deeper on your own, you can check out the Indispensable-People blog or my books on Amazon called The Indispensable Kid or Gospel Accessibility and the Indispensable People.
