Meet Lauren Compere. Lauren is an advocate for those with disabilities. She is also one of the founders of One Shred of Hope, a non-profit ministry in Clinton, MS that provides jobs and housing communities for people with disabilities. Most importantly, Lauren does not let her circumstances define her, but she shares her faith and sets out to glorify God with her life, no matter her limitations. 

In this episode, we talk about: 

• What it's like to have a physical disability
• Being creative when sharing the gospel with those with disabilities
• Not being defined by any disability or limitation
• Understanding the gospel, and not adding to it
• How to build community among those with physical disabilities and those without within the church
• How you can be a part of Team LC

The Takeaway: We all have some kind of disability, but that doesn't define who we are.
