Today's conversation focuses on the relationship between our Christian Faith and neurodiversity. While neurodiversity is often seen in a negative light, it is important to view it through the lens of the scriptures. One of these is Psalms 139:14 which says we are fearfully and wonderfully made.

That said, these problems can be surmounted and should not be seen as a determinant of failure if people can look past their neurodive ..read more
