- Society & Culture
In this episode, I talked with Dr. Amy Kenny about her book My Body Is Not a Prayer Request. Dr. Amy Kenny is a disabled scholar and a Shakespeare Lecturer who hates Hamlet. Her work has been featured in HuffPost, Teen Vogue, The Mighty, and Sojourners. She coordinates support for neighbors in her local community experiencing homelessness, and her book, My Body Is Not a Prayer Request: Disability Justice in the Church, came out in May 2022.

The music for this episode was created by Joshua Pappas, my oldest child. We worked together using the Chrome Music Lab: Song Maker and had so much fun. I want to thank Danielle Bolin for creating the episode graphic. If you like what you heard in this episode, share it with a friend and on social media. I really think that little by little, person by person, we can broaden the narrative. In addition, make sure to subscribe so you don't miss an episode. Then, rate and review to help others find the show.
