Love That Surpasses: Rethinking Disability, Holiness, and Belonging in the Church (With Sarah Lowry) | Episode 12

What if disability isn’t a detour from God’s plan but an invitation deeper into His heart?In this episode of A Little Extra Love host, Rachael Vermeulen sits down with Sarah Lowry, CEO of Love That Surpasses, for a deeply honest conversation about grief, redemption, and the transformative theology born through disability parenting.Sarah shares her family’s journey raising two children with disabilities, autism and Down syndrome, and how God gently reframed her understanding of motherhood, worth, and calling. Together, they explore the powerful framework behind The Leah Inheritance, a redemptive way of understanding disability through Scripture, and why the ministry of disability is not a side ministry but central to the Church’s spiritual formation.This conversation speaks directly to parents navigating diagnosis, church leaders longing to serve families well, and believers seeking a deeper understanding of holiness, dependence, and the love of Christ that truly surpasses understanding.If you’ve ever wondered where God is in grief, exhaustion, or unanswered expectations — this episode will remind you that His presence meets us there first.What You’ll Learn in This EpisodeWhy disability parenting often begins with grief — and ends in transformationThe lie of “normal motherhood” and how God reframes identityWhy the Church’s narrative around disability often falls shortThe biblical meaning behind The Leah InheritanceHow disability ministry reveals dependence on the Holy SpiritWhy disability families carry unique spiritual insight for the ChurchHow churches can move from accommodation → invitation → partnershipTo connect with Love That Surpasses Ministries and Sarah follow the links below:Love That Surpasses – https://www.lovethatsurpasses.org/The Leah Narrative Bible Study - https://www.lovethatsurpasses.org/leahThe Leah Kids Resources - https://www.lovethatsurpasses.org/leahskidsInstagram-Sarah: https://www.instagram.com/lovethatsurpasses/Ministry: https://www.instagram.com/lovethatsurpassesministries/
