Chronic Medical Conditions & Living Faith First

What this episode covers

"Why do you think it's important for the church to ask people living with chronic medical conditions - what do you want us to know?"Today we are talking to Dr. Allison Hampton, the founder of Living Chronic Faith, an online community for people of faith who are living with chronic medical conditions. Join us as we hear how Allie's own experience with Lupus inspired her to support others, how her time with paralysis taught her what her true purpose was, what the church needs to know when talking about healing, and so much more.Dr. Allison Hampton BioDr. Allison J. Hampton is a Christian speaker, playwright, author, and Christian life coach who is living with four chronic autoimmune diagnoses. Through her medical journey, she has learned how faith in God changes how we perceive and experience life for the better.  She believes that God desires for every person He created to be happy and whole, and that His plan for our lives can be discovered through relationship with Him. Her goal is to share her insights with others who may find themselves on a journey toward purpose and maximized potential and to facilitate a community in which they can walk that journey together using the Word of God as a roadmap. Allison holds a Doctor of Ministry degree from Liberty University and a Master of Divinity from Southeastern University, and lives to share God’s message of hope, restoration, and life with as many people as possible.To learn more about Living Chronic Faith, please visit livingchronicfaith.comA quick note on disability terms:Before you listen, I wanted to talk to you about something important about our podcast, and that is how we will be referring to disability during our discussions. We want you to know that at Wonderful Works Ministry, we know that words matter. We will strive to use preferred language regarding disability. But we also understand that preferred terms change over time and also can be subjective and vary from person to person, even among those with a shared diagnosis. With this in mind, we ask that you understand that we, here at Wonderful Works, and our guests may use a variety of terms on this show and in our resources. Please know that we will always approach language with inclusion, dignity and respect, and we hope you will too.
