Leading With Disability

#DATC2024 panel discussion with Lamar Hardwick, Kimberly Britt, and Tait Berg, on serving in ministry leadership with a disability includes a range of responses from personal challenges both in maintaining personal boundaries but also overcoming negative perceptions. The respondents encouraged those with disability, yet called to lead, should 1) try to have a team to support them, 2) strive to be flexible in the face of challenges yet resilient in the call, and 3) to recognize that one’s disability does not stop to be the best version you can be… but does help you to avoid being the worse person you might be.
