In today’s video I talk about two recent experiences that deal with very positive and very negative aspects of the disability experience. I discuss how we must remain positive and open to the larger world as persons with disabilities.

In this blog Bekah discusses many of the life-giving benefits of pet ownership.

Disabled persons in America experience, a variety of issues when it comes to considering whether they can get married to their partner of choice. And they can lose medical benefits, access to adequate transportation and any number of other issues help put an end to marriage in equality in whatever form it takes.

if even the patriarch, Jacob can struggle to remain home in God. I guess it should not surprise me that we would have our own struggles, both making a home for God in are lives, and knowing that God is our home.

In this video, I discussed going to the doctor only to have my young son there with me, as my insurance was rejected, and having to explain to him what was going on.

In this blog, I talk about my desire to get off Medicaid as the Julian Way continues to grow, and the difficulty in framing that for fundraising purposes, in a way that would be understandable to the non-disable world .

How would it change our perspective if we center other people in our devotional, life, and lived with unbridled optimism.

A reflection on the walk to Emmaus’ story, and how God seeks to reveal gods self to us in times of silence, and confusion.

In this blog, I talk about how we assume that Thomas placed his hands in the side of Christ during the post resurrection appearances. However, we’re not giving that detail in the story, and whether Thomas places hands in Christ side or not, doesn’t really matter. Christ gave him the opportunity to confront his doubt and use it to grow and change.

in this blog, I encourage us to take each day in holy week, as a period to reflect on the final week of Jesus’s life. I encourage us not to jump from the joy of palm, Sunday straight to the cross, or straight to the resurrection of Christ. allowing every day to be as it is, helps us to understand more deeply the last journey Jesus ever took. 

With this weeks blog I talk about how challenging it can be for people with disabilities to have a comfortable or non-adversarial relationship with their own body.

In this week’s blog , I pause to take a moment and pay tribute to the mother of the disability civil rights movement Judy Heumann, who passed away on Saturday at the age of 75. Her impact is incalculable and those of us in the disability advocacy world owe her a debt we can never repay.

This week’s blog deals with the pressure disabled people face to always have their origin story ready and on hand for public consumption. I also deal with the experience of, often publicly, needing to prove my disability credentials in order to navigate both public spaces and spaces within the disability community, itself.

In this week’s video I talk about the reversal and world changing power that the beatitudes possess when we take them seriously and choose to see them as the revolution they truly are.

In our current culture, it seems increasingly evident that we are living in a paradigm without PTSD. Instead our world seems to be experiencing an unbroken cycle of trauma and pain. How do people of faith interrupt this cycle and what does scripture offer us as a way forward?

In this week’s video I discuss the names used and the way disability gets talked about, both within the disability community itself and within the larger world. I hope to start a conversation about how what we say about disability affects the way experience disability.

While dealing with my own grief and uncertainty around the current situation in The Methodist world, I try in this blog, to call for people to remember our common humanity and mission in The Gospel even as we move through the world with profoundly different opinions and viewpoints.

In this week’s video blog I talk about how the process of getting older while having a disability has lead me to essentially make peace with my body and try not to obsess over every little ache and pain, and through getting to know my body better I’ve gotten to know my God better, as well.

In this weeks video I discuss my dreams for the Julian Way, as we prepare to become our own 501(c)(3). What I want to see happen, and how I the Julian way will be involved in changing the world in the very near future!

With this week’s video I reflect on the proposed law that could criminalize any talk in support of, or even about abortion, if it can be established that an individual received an abortion shortly after a specific conversation or public event. This proposal would essentially have the effect of eliminating pastoral confidence and/or privilege from the table as a reality of ministry.
