Labeled Learning Disabled — and Still Called by God: Michelle’s Story

from Healed. Whole. Called. · host Michelle Steiner, Wendy Melrose

Michelle Steiner was told she would never go to college, never live independently, and never succeed in the “real world.” But God had a different story in mind.In this episode, Michelle opens up about growing up with a learning disability, navigating school systems and stereotypes, and learning to see herself through the lens of truth — not limitations. She now advocates for others with disabilities through her writing and speaking, proving that you are never disqualified from purpose just because your journey looks different. If you’re carrying a story or testimony and sense a quiet stirring to do something more with it, but you’re unsure what that next step should be, I’ve created a resource to help you discern that.The Story Discernment Guide is a reflective guide designed to help you pause, pray, and gain clarity around the story you’re stewarding — before you write, publish, or share it publicly.You can explore the Story Discernment Guide at storycalling.info.Your story is not an accident.You are healed.You are whole.You are called — and stewarding your story well matters.

Michelle Steiner shares how growing up with a learning disability shaped her identity — and how God used that very struggle to build her voice as a writer and advocate. Her story is a beautiful reminder that your limitations don’t define you, but God’s calling does.
