Plug In to God’s heart: Disability and the Bible
Does the Bible have a negative attitude towards disability? Does it connect disability with sin? In this workshop, we will explore some of the negative sounding texts in the Bible regarding disability. By learning how to re-read the Bible, we will discover how these texts actually reveal God’s amazing heart of love towards us.
