In a special crossover episode, Megan and Adam are joined by the Rev. Robyn King and the Rev. Stephanie Shockley, hosts of the podcast The Accessible Altar, for a rich and necessary conversation about faith, disability, and what the church gets wrong—and right—when it comes to inclusion.

Together, they explore how disability is often misunderstood in Christian spaces, why the church tends to default to charity instead of solidarity, and how scripture, theology, and lived experience can help us imagine something better. Robyn and Stephanie share how The Accessible Altar was born out of real conversations, real frustrations, and real hope for a church that actually means it when it says all are welcome and people are not problems.

This episode isn’t about quick fixes or easy answers—it’s about listening, learning new language, rethinking old assumptions, and making room at the altar for voices that have too often been sidelined.

If you’ve ever wondered how faith communities can move from “helping” to belonging, this conversation is for you.
