An Introduction to Disability Theology

Send us a text

In this episode, Dr. LS Carlos Thompson explores the foundations of disability theology, tracing its connections to the disability rights movement and broader theological discussions. He unpacks key models of disability—the medical, social, and hybrid models—and considers how they shape our understanding of inclusion, belonging, and the body of Christ. Listeners are invited to rethink assumptions about disability, normalcy, and human limitation, as well as how the church can move beyond inclusion to embrace a deeper sense of belonging. This episode lays the groundwork for future conversations that challenge and enrich our faith communities.
