In this episode of the Simple Charity Podcast, host Brian Grasso interviews Susan McSwain, Executive Director of Reality Ministries in Durham, North Carolina. The conversation explores some of the challenges faced by adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and how these experiences can teach us about belonging. Susan shares insights on the ministry’s organizational development, the need for authentic inclusion, and the transformative impact of mutual relationships.
