DISABILITY MINISTRY VIDEO ROUNDTABLE: Oil & Water: How Do We Respond When the Values of Disability Culture Don't Mix with Kingdom Values?

Tim Keller defines an idol as "anything more important to you than God, anything that absorbs your heart and imagination more than God, anything you seek to give you what only God can give...." What if barriers to making the gospel accessible to all actually come from deeper issues--such as the idols of our hearts, idols of church culture and idols of disability culture? Steph Hubach, Research Fellow in Disability Ministries at Covenant Theological Seminary, will lead us in this discussion, building on the workshop she presented during Disability & The Church 2024.
