Raising a child with special needs changes nearly every aspect of family life, but it can also reveal extraordinary opportunities for love, growth, and connection.
Dr. Joe and Cindy Ferrini, authors of The Special Needs Parent: A Guide to the Life You Never Expected, join Ginny to share lessons from nearly 45 years of raising their son Joey, who has cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and developmental disabilities.
Through heartfelt stories and practical wisdom, they explore the realities of lifelong caregiving, protecting marriage, supporting siblings, building community, and navigating the isolation many special needs families experience. They also discuss the role of faith in suffering and how unexpected challenges can transform a family's understanding of purpose.
This conversation offers encouragement to parents walking a difficult road while challenging friends, neighbors, and churches to move beyond good intentions and offer meaningful, practical support. It's a powerful reminder that every family deserves to be seen, welcomed, and supported.
