Church culture often overlooks a startling reality - while 25% of Americans have a disability, 80% aren't in our churches. This disconnect between our theology and practice demands a shift in perspective to recognize that different is not less.

• God's plan may look different than expected, as illustrated by Tracy's foster care journey

• God values diversity and has imparted dignity to every person
• The body of Christ requires diversity to function as designed

ChinAI Newsletter Jeffrey Ding Narrations of the ChinAI Newsletter by Jeffrey Ding.China is becoming an indispensable part of the global AI landscape. Alongside the rise of China’s AI capabilities, a surge of Chinese writing and scholarship on AI-related topics is shedding light on a range of fascinating topics, including: China’s grand strategy for advanced technology like AI, the characteristics of key Chinese AI actors (e.g. companies and individual thinkers), and the ethical implications of AI development.While traditional media and China specialists can provide important insights on these questions through on-the-ground reporting and extensive background knowledge, ChinAI takes a different approach: it bets on the proposition that for many of these issues, the people with the most knowledge and insight are Chinese people themselves who are sharing their insights in Chinese. Through translating articles and documents from government departments, think tanks, traditional media, and newer forms of “self-media,” INDISPENSABLE ES VIVIR SIN MIEDO Y CON AMOR Betsy Valencillo Cambiemos el miedo por optimismo!

Food Landscapes & Estudio Mono Comer es indispensable, pero la comida está llena de historias y significados, de redes y relaciones sociales, desde el producto y el productor hasta las ocasiones de consumo, el gusto y desde luego la salud y el bienestar. En Jícara hablamos de todas estas historias, de la cultura y la nutrición, de los gustos, las recomendaciones y las advertencias de un modo irreverente y distendido. Este no es un podcast más sobre nutrición o sobre recetas, es eso y mucho más. Twitter@jicara_ideas
