Sex, Worship, and Covenant Part V: God’s Welcome for the Differently Abled

*Content Advisory: This episode contains discussions of disability, neurodiversity, infant exposure, abuse, exploitation, death, and other historical practices from the ancient world. These topics are presented for biblical, historical, and educational purposes and may be difficult for some listeners. Viewer and listener discretion is advised. In Part V of Sex, Worship, and Covenant, Queen Bathsheba explores how the Bible challenges 'body worship' by affirming the inherent dignity and belonging of the mentally and physically differently abled. She contrasts ancient Roman and misapplied Levitical practices that ranked people by physical utility with the covenantal vision that includes the blind, lame, eunuchs, and outsiders. The episode connects these biblical examples to modern concerns about disability rights and neurodiversity and presents a kingdom-shaped alternative in Cage-Free Voices’ Neuro-Inclusive Intelligence approach, advocating systems that honor image-bearing worth over productivity metrics.
