Summary
As we focus this month on loving what God loves, I’m so excited to shine some much-deserved light on our precious families raising children with special needs.
Nichole Huggins, Director of Special Needs at Prestonwood Church in Dallas, Texas, joins us as both a mom to a son with special needs as well as one directly engaged in church ministry in this area.
Today’s podcast is not just for the families in the trenches each day raising children with special needs, but it’s also a much-needed word for those of us who are called to walk alongside and support these families.
There’s so much in this podcast that I can’t wait for you to hear, but here are a few takeaways you can’t miss:
- Even on the hardest days, you have hope, and you are not alone
- The importance of seizing the God-moments in our parenting
- Conversations every parent needs to have concerning kids with special needs
- It’s okay not to be okay
Please take time to listen to this important conversation, and then share it with your friends who need this encouragement today.

| 0:50.8 | adoption and how God loves adoption, and and were all adopted into the body of |
