Summary

Nearly 20% of school-aged children in the U.S. are affected by dyslexia, making it the most common learning disability—yet for many families, the journey can feel overwhelming and isolating.

In today's episode, Julie Tapscott, who shared at our Vestavia, Alabama gathering, opens up about her son's dyslexia diagnosis and the path that followed. With a mother's determination and deep faith, Julie pursued understanding, learned how to advocate within the school system, and discovered practical ways to support her son's unique needs.

If you or someone you love is walking this road (or any other learning difficulty with their child), this episode offers encouragement, practical wisdom, and a reminder that you are not alone—God is present, He is at work, and He is writing your child's story.

VERSE OF THE WEEK:

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb… Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. - Psalm 138:13;16

CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK:

God created you and your child uniquely. This week celebrate the ways in which He uniquely made you both.
