'Autism and the Church' with Pastor Russ Ewell
Welcome back to the Podcast. Today we have Russ Ewell, lead pastor of Bay Area Christian Church and father of two children with special needs as our guest. As a father and an advocate in the special needs community he understands the need for creating inclusive environments for our children. As a Pastor, he and his wife have launched a free, step-by-step guide to help leaders begin or grow this ministry at their church. He knows that many Pastors are interested in serving the special needs community, but lack the resources to make this a reality and is meeting the need with this resource.
In addition, Russ has create E-Sports and E-Life which are inclusive community programs enabling kids with special needs to participate in sports and activities alongside their peers.
As we approaching Autism awareness month, Russ brings a fresh perspective of what is possible for individuals special needs and the greater community. Let’s listen in as we join Russ.

For a family raising a child with special needs, life can be difficult. There are many storms to weather and struggles to address, and we often feel isolated and alone due to the nature of our circumstances. Families have a need to connect and find resources, a need to be encouraged, and a need for hope as we walk down what can be a very hard road at times. Hope on the Hard Road Special Needs Podcast was created for this purpose. Our vision is to grow a thriving community, where families with children of all ages with special needs can feel connected, be encouraged, and find hope for the road ahead.
