Are you a fan of Lego? My guest this week sure is! JM Kraemer is a Catholic artist with a disability, and he joins me this week to share about his annual Lego Church Project and how it showcases the power of God using our talents. He builds massive churches out of Legos with intricate details and interior designs. JM shares his projects with various parishes and uses them to teach about faith and disability. JM also discusses the importance of prayer in navigating life with a disability and highlights the need for better accessibility and transportation options in the Catholic Church.

Takeaways

* No matter what challenges or disabilities we face, God can use our talents.

* Creativity can be a powerful way to share our faith and inspire others.

* Children are naturally drawn to creative projects like the Lego Church Project and can learn about faith through them.

* Prayer is essential in navigating life with a disability and seeking guidance from God.
