About This Podcast

Hosted by Christine Boyle, "Disability and Faith - Invited In" is a podcast that explores the intersection of disability, caregiving, and faith. Christine is the mother of two adult children with disabilities—Courteney, who went home to Jesus in 2022 at the age of 21, and Kevin, who joined the Boyle family through adoption from El Salvador in 2013. With over two decades of lived experience, Christine shares the real and raw stories of the disability journey—the joys, the struggles, the griefs, and the victories. Her contagious hope and joy point listeners back to Christ, who meets us in every moment. This podcast is not only a source of encouragement and inspiration, but also a practical guide. Each episode offers insights and tools for caregivers walking the long road of disability or chronic illness, as well as for ministry leaders and volunteers seeking to create true belonging in disability ministry. Together, we’ll discover how Christ invites us in—to His presence, His strength, and the beauty and joy found in disability.
