Key Points
- Disabled Christians often face the additional burden of being expected to always appear positive and grateful, which can prevent them from expressing genuine struggles and frustrations.
- Using disabled individuals as sermon illustrations without their consent can be deeply hurtful and violate their privacy, making them feel objectified and disrespected.
- True support for disabled people in religious communities involves acknowledging their hardships, providing genuine companionship, and not just offering superficial praise or unsolicited advice.
