When Disability Hits Home on this edition of Truth and Love.

I'm Dale Johnson, and you're listening to Truth in Love, a podcast of the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors,

where we seek to provide biblical solutions to the problems that people face.

Today on the podcast, I am joined with Dr. Paul Touches. I'm so delighted getting to know Dr.

Touches. I remember Paul before I knew you well that I always wondered, how do you say that

guy's last name? I was always curious. And I'm grateful that I've

sorted that out now. And it's been a delight, honestly, to get to know you, Paul, and to know some of

your work. I appreciated a lot of what you had written even before we met personally. Paul is the

senior pastor at Cornerstone Community in Mayfield Heights, Ohio. He's written several books,

and today, actually, we're going to talk about your latest book, When Disability Hits Home,

how God magnifies His Grace in Our Weakness and Suffering. And Paul, you're in a very unique place

to be able to talk about this subject. And this most recent book with

Shepard Press, which I think is an outstanding volume, and I'm glad that you've contributed

in this way. But you're in a unique position to write a book like this with not just theological

knowledge and pastoral experience, but also you've walked through this issue with several members of

your own family.

And so I appreciate the candor with which you write, the honesty with which you describe,

but the beauty of doctrine that you bring to bear on the image of God in man and helping

us to understand that and to understand that well.

And so I want you to talk about your newest book, this idea of when disability hits home.

It's not written from some sort of high and lofty position, but the ups and downs of every

single day.
