Overview
The greatest opportunity for the gospel may be for the church to reach one of the largest unreached groups in the US and the world: teens with trauma and disability.
While awareness of disability and mental health has grown in recent decades, the church has fallen behind the culture in engaging specific at-risk individuals. Churches and youth ministries often unintentionally marginalize teens with trauma, disabilities, and mental health challenges, but young people deserve better: a church that is wider and willing to go to the margins to be welcoming and accessible.
Mike Severe and Laura Widstrom offer a theological framework and practical guidance for serving students on the margins, including those affected by significant life challenges such as foster care, chronic health issues, a death in the family, or divorce. Drawing on research and their personal experience in youth ministry and foster parenting, they address the most common issues, questions, and roadblocks to ministry on the margins.
This theory-to-practice resource invites critical reflection on ministry approaches, confronts the mindsets and barriers to creating inclusive environments for teens with disability and trauma, and calls the church to those places where God is at work.
