  • We’re NOT Alone

    I have a 31 year old son with multiple disabilities. I was a single dad raising him when I met my current wife and she embraced him like he was her own. I wish this organization was around when he was younger. Amazing stories and testimonies.

  • Encouragement

    I have a son with special needs and medical needs. This podcast has been such a blessing and encouragement to me. Always reminding me to look for ways to see the goodness of our God even when life doesn’t look the way I thought it would. It is so encouraging to see others walking down a similar road and still living for the Lord and glorifying Him in the joy and in the sorrow. Thank you!
