You’ve heard mom’s side… now we’re turning it over to the guys.

In this special Dadcast episode, we’re handing the mic to Caroline’s dad as he shares her story from a father’s point of view—raw, real, and full of heart. Led and interviewed by Grace in Motion board member Brad Lane, this conversation dives into the journey of raising a daughter with Down syndrome, the challenges faced, the miracles witnessed, and the everyday moments that shape their story.

Through his perspective, you’ll hear the strength, faith, and unconditional love that define fatherhood in the most powerful way. Caroline’s story isn’t just about her journey—it’s about the impact she’s had on her dad, and the way love shows up through it all. 💙

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, we sit down with Tabitha Lynch—devoted mom, fierce advocate, and someone whose life has been uniquely shaped by Cri du Chat Syndrome. Tabitha shares her journey growing up alongside two siblings with the syndrome and now raising three of her own children diagnosed with it.

Cri du Chat Syndrome, also known as 5p- (5p minus), is a rare genetic condition caused by a deletion on the short arm of chromosome 5. It is often characterized by a high-pitched, cat-like cry in infancy, developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, low muscle tone, and challenges with speech and motor skills. Each individual’s journey is different, making awareness and understanding so important.

Through her story, Tabitha gives us a raw and honest look into the beauty, challenges, and unwavering love that comes with raising children with special needs. Her perspective as both a sibling and a mother offers a unique lens into resilience, advocacy, and the power of community.

This episode will inspire you, stretch your perspective, and remind you of the strength found in unconditional love. 💛

This episode will challenge the way you see disability, inspire your heart, and remind you that every child has a story worth hearing.

We hope Mason’s story touches you and encourages you to look beyond labels—and see the beauty, strength, and potential in every child.

In this heartfelt episode, Sarah shares the journey of her daughter, Caroline — a precious girl with Down syndrome and autism whose life is a living testimony to God’s faithfulness.

When Sarah and her husband first received Caroline’s diagnoses, the future felt uncertain. There were medical reports, developmental delays, and statistics that could have defined her story. But instead of letting fear lead, they chose faith. Through prayer, surrender, and trusting God’s plan, they have watched Caroline defy expectations time and time again.

Sarah opens up about the hard days — the therapies, the unknowns, the spiritual battles — and the holy moments where God showed up in undeniable ways. She shares how their faith deepened through the journey, how Caroline has strengthened their marriage and family, and how what once felt overwhelming became a calling.

Caroline’s life is more than a diagnosis. It is a story of miracles, perseverance, and purpose. Today, their family pours back into others — encouraging parents, advocating for inclusion, and reminding the world that every child is fearfully and wonderfully made.

This episode is for any parent walking through uncertainty. It’s a reminder that God writes stories bigger than statistics, and that when we trust Him, even the hardest journeys can become beautiful testimonies. 💛

Welcome to the very first episode of the Grace in Motion Podcast. In this introduction, we’re sharing the story behind who we are, why we started, and the calling that led to Grace in Motion.

You’ll hear the heart behind both Grace in Motion Therapy and Grace in Motion Ministries — how pediatric therapy became more than a service, but a mission to empower children, support families, and create inclusive spaces where every child can thrive.

We talk about stepping out in faith, the needs we saw in our community, and the vision for what’s ahead — from specialized therapy services to camps, adaptive equipment, and outreach programs designed to bring hope and practical support to families navigating diagnoses.

If you’re a parent, caregiver, therapist, ministry leader, or someone searching for hope in the middle of hard — this episode is for you.

This is where grace meets movement.
