While 99% of pastors and 97% of churchgoers say people with special needs are welcome in their churches, only 29% of churches have actual programs to support them. Why the disconnect?
In this episode, we sit down with Russ Ewell, pastor of Bay Area Christian Church and founder of Digital Scribbler, to uncover the barriers that keep churches from truly including people with disabilities, and how to break them down. Russ and his wife have developed the Spiritual Resource Ministry Manual, a FREE step-by-step guide to help churches create an accessible and thriving ministry for those with special needs.
Join us for an eye-opening conversation about what it means to be a welcoming church and how your ministry can go beyond good intentions to make a real impact.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
