PODCAST

Disability and Faith

Disability and Faith: Invited In with Christine Boyle is a podcast for anyone seeking to better understand disability through the lens of faith. Through honest conversations, personal stories, and thoughtful reflection, Christine offers encouragement to caregivers, families, church leaders, and those who walk alongside people with disabilities. This podcast also speaks directly to the church, challenging faith communities to move beyond good intentions and become places of true belonging for people with disabilities and their families.

Each episode tackles real-life topics with both compassion and clarity. From practical conversations about traveling with a disability and navigating everyday life, to discussions on accessible voting, advocacy, and inclusion, the podcast covers a wide range of issues that matter. Along the way, Christine interviews voices from the disability and faith space, sharing stories that are emotional, hope-filled, and grounded in the truth that disability and faith are not separate stories. This podcast is an invitation to listen honestly, learn deeply, and believe that belonging is possible.

“I’ve known Christine Boyle for many years. She is an extraordinary woman of deep faith and compassion. This faith and compassion spilled over into loving her two special needs children, but she has many children with special needs, who she ministers to daily. She has impacted countless lives and made a huge difference in this world. I count her as my dear friend, who has influenced me greatly.”

Nick Palermo, Founder of Young Life Capernaum, Executive Founding Director of Emmaus Ministries

“Christine was the keynote speaker for our Global Access Community event focusing on teens and adolescents with disabilities. Christine was incredibly engaging and knowledgeable. She related to a large virtual crowd in such a way that attendees felt connected and heard. Christine blessed so many people that day; any group would be blessed to have her speak!“

Aimee Stork, The Joni Eareckson Tada Disability Research Center

”There’s a reason Christine Boyle received the WFHM Mom Squad “Mom of the Year” award. Her unwavering trust in a sovereign God has been proven over and over again. Christine’s commitment to advocacy, caregiving, and support for the most vulnerable is a powerful witness for every human being of the trans- forming love of Jesus Christ. With faith, hope and love, she does it all for Jesus with a smile.”
