How God Uses Disabilities – Season 2, Episode 15

August 31, 2023 • 17 min

Notes:

Having a disability often involves facing challenges and obstacles that individuals without disabilities might not encounter in their daily lives. These limitations can affect people physically, socially, and emotionally in a profound way. On top of the struggle, Satan sometimes uses these limitations to feed us lies about God, ourselves, and others. Many who struggle with disabilities struggle with believing that God has a plan for them. In this episode, Ross O’Hair talks with Sabrina Frazier about her hearing disability and her journey from believing lies about herself and God to embracing God in the middle of her struggle and glorifying God in and through her hearing impairment.

Verses:

Jeremiah 29:11 – “’For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans for prosperity and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.’”
