Have you ever walked into a place and wondered, “Do I really belong here?”

In this episode of HEARTBEAT, we reflect on the story of Hannah, a young woman who has used a wheelchair since childhood. Her story is not defined by what she can't do, but by God’s faithfulness and the community that has supported her along the way.

Her testimony also challenges us to look at our own churches, worship services, and communities. Are we creating spaces where people with disabilities and people from all walks of life know they are truly welcome?

Jesus consistently noticed and welcomed people others overlooked. As His followers, we are called to do the same.

Takeaways from this episode:

  • Everyone wants to know that they belong.
  • A person’s disability does not define their identity or their value.
  • God is faithful through every circumstance.
  • Churches should be places where everyone can participate and feel genuinely welcomed.
  • Accessibility is about more than physical spaces. It is also about relationships and belonging.
  • We can follow Jesus’ example by noticing, welcoming, and including people others may overlook.

👉 Don’t forget: You can also download our free devotional, “Mind, Body & Soul,” designed to help strengthen your walk with God through Scripture, prayer, and practical habits.
