Reading Scripture Through a Neurodivergent Lens

Send us Fan Mail

What happens when we read Scripture through the lens of our own lives?

In this episode, I explore what it might mean to engage Scripture through a neurodivergent lens, and why our particular ways of seeing the world might actually help us notice things that have been there all along.

We’ll look at Peter, his deep knowledge of fishing, and the surprising ways Jesus repeatedly meets him in the world he already knows. What if discipleship isn’t a call away from who we are, but a call through it?

We each bring our culture, gender, history, bodies, experiences, questions, and ways of seeing when we encounter Scripture. Rather than pretending those lenses don’t exist, we can become curious about what they help us see—and what they might make harder for us to notice.

Maybe we can bring our whole selves and discover that Jesus is already meeting us there.
