How to Build a Strong Marriage with Disability in the Mix  - Mary Grace Burkey

Joni and Friends Ministry Podcast - A podcast by Joni and Friends - Thursdays

Stephanie Daniels welcomes her good friend and colleague Mary Grace Burkey back to the podcast for a heartfelt conversation about two significant topics: marriage and disability. Mary Grace shares her story of meeting her husband Chad at a Joni and Friends Warrior Getaway, which supports Veterans and their families. Chad sustained a traumatic brain injury while serving overseas, which left him with a disability. When they decided to get married, Mary Grace became not only Chad’s wife, but also his caregiver. In this episode, Mary Grace shares about her marriage, caregiving, practical ways the church can support couples navigating disability, and how disability has challenged her and Chad to depend on Jesus in their weakness as they grow closer to one other.
