My Body Is Not a Prayer Request: Disability Justice in the Church | Amy Kenny

Shane Claiborne and Lisa Sharon Harper have an important discussion with Amy Kenny on her book, My Body Is Not a Prayer Request: Disability Justice in the Church recorded on October 27th.
“Written by a disabled Christian, this book shows that the church is missing out on the prophetic witness and blessing of disability. Kenny reflects on her experiences inside the church to expose unintentional ableism and cast a new vision for Christian communities to engage disability justice. She shows that until we cultivate church spaces where people with disabilities can fully belong, flourish, and lead, we are not valuing the diverse members of the body of Christ.”

Christ, Clowns, and the Cottage Church | Lea Wilkening

In this episode, Shane Claiborne speaks with Lea Wilkening about church planting, being a clown and comedic improv, and holding onto joy. Lea discusses what it means to open a church in friendship.
"Lea lives in Oakville, Ontario with her husband, John, and sons, Jack and Josh.  She holds a Master of Divinity degree from Calvin Seminary, an Accounting degree from University of Illinois, and is a graduate of the Improvisation Conservatory Program at Second City, Toronto. She has served justice and reconciliation ministries since her youth and started out community organizing at a young age. She thinks that when given the right tools and support, young people have the vision and capacity to lead the rest of us in the next era. She loves to laugh and thinks communities of faith have plenty of reasons for joy." [from https://www.thecottagechurch.com/about-us]
