150: Got Room For Wheels? Let’s Talk Mobility With Joanne Petersen | Accessibility & Inclusion Series Part 2

As we desire to create faith communities where all are welcome, we’ve dedicated a series of conversations to accessibility and inclusion in small churches.

Churches of all sizes are missing entire segments of people not far from our doorsteps, and we can do better.

Today’s topic dives into creating spaces and communities that are truly accessible for those with mobility challenges.

After an accident in her 20s, today’s guest found her life significantly altered as she adjusted to being a paraplegic. Joanne Petersen speaks to us today, raising awareness about accessibility issues in our churches and simple fixes to do better.

In addition to talking about wheelchair-friendly spaces, from restrooms to entryways, Joanne shares her heart on what it means to be truly considered by others who see her not as a person with a disability but as a friend.
