Season 4 Episode 6: Disability, Dignity, and Faith Communities with Robbie Walker & Ty Ragan

Send us Fan Mail🎙️ In this episode of the Mad & Crip Theology Podcast, we sit down with Robbie Walker and Ty Ragan to dive into their work and the larger conversations happening in our community around disability justice and faith.Robbie reflects on the tensions between Pentecostal theology and disability justice, exploring how healing can be about dignity and agency rather than spectacle. Ty challenges the myth of normalcy in faith communities, pushing for accessibility not just in physical spaces but in leadership, theology, and cultural attitudes. Together, we talk about what it means for churches to move beyond inclusion toward true disability justice. And of course, we couldn't resist bringing Star Trek into the conversation. 🚀🖖Watch on YouTube with captions here: https://youtu.be/xbH3f5-2zxg✨ Plus, exciting news: the Mad & Crip Theology Podcast was just named one of FeedSpot’s Best Five Canadian Disability Podcasts! 🎉 Check out the full list here: https://podcast.feedspot.com/canada_disability_podcasts/📖 Read Robbie’s piece: Is the Beautiful Gate Accessible? here: https://jps.library.utoronto.ca/index.php/cjtmhd/article/view/44517📖 Read Ty’s piece: What is Dignity? here: https://jps.library.utoronto.ca/index.php/cjtmhd/article/view/44507#MadAndCripTheologyPress #DisabilityJustice #FaithAndJustice #StarTrek #PodcastFollow us on Facebook and/or InstagramRead the Journal
