We explore the crucial topic of discipleship for people with disabilities and why it's not optional in the spiritual journey. Examining how churches typically respond to disability ministry, we unpack the importance of genuine inclusion beyond simply opening doors.
• Many churches either claim they're "already doing that," are unsure how to proceed, or haven't considered disability ministry
• Fear of the unknown often prevents meaningful inclusion, potentially losing entire families
• People with disabilities don't need to earn their value - it comes from being created in God's image
• Salvation is a connection between a person and God, not dependent on intellectual capacity
• Discipleship can include picture memory verses, communication devices, and mentoring relationships
• One-on-one relationships are the most effective way to facilitate spiritual growth
• Understanding how someone learns and processes information is key to effective discipleship
