The Counter Culture Mom Show with Tina Griffin

Ron Sandison is the author of Adulting on the Spectrum: An Insider’s Guide for Navigating Life with Autism, a national speaker, and the founder of Spectrum Inclusion. As someone who has lived with an autism diagnosis for his entire life, he is a testament to the power of harnessing the strengths of autism to rise to new and amazing heights. He empowers families with autistic children to use their God-given talents to adapt and accommodate limitations by focusing on three key elements: providing support, marketing those abilities, and learning to delay impulses. His goal is to help autistic kids not just survive on the spectrum but to thrive! Ron has learned how to adapt to sensory overload through repeated exposure and by meditating on the powerful and healing Word of God.

A child who has been diagnosed with autism is also a child who has been made in the image of God. That beautiful truth is the guiding light for parents who seek to shepherd their children and train them up with a Scriptural foundation. Johanna Pressley is a Biblical counselor and the author of Biblical Counseling and Autism in Children, a resource-rich and easy-to-read handbook for parents who need help identifying disability-triggered behaviors versus sinful rebellion in their children. Many parents may find it hard to sift through research online. Johanna makes it easy! She gives the Christian perspective on parenting autistic children through the lens of a Biblical worldview and recognizing kids as image-bearers of their Creator.

TAKEAWAYS

We should love our children and train them through difficult moments

When you understand who your child is through a Biblical lens, you see them as people saved by Grace

One in 31 children in the United States has autism, and for parents, the journey often tests faith and endurance. Juli Reynolds is the board chair of the Anchor of Hope Foundation, a Georgia-based Christian organization that supports individuals with developmental disabilities and their caregivers through financial aid, community, spiritual encouragement, and programs promoting growth, independence, and purpose. The foundation defines developmental disability as one acquired in childhood requiring lifelong support, with autism being a primary example. Juli was inspired to become an Occupational Therapist after caring for her youngest brother with severe, nonverbal autism. She now helps connect parents with resources to support their children through every stage of life.

TAKEAWAYS

Anchor of Hope was founded to provide a "yes" for caregivers in a sea of "nos”

Disability acquired during childhood often requires lifelong support, which can be challenging for aging parents

Anchor of Hope is developing supported employment opportunities to provide pathways to independence, connection and long-term impacts

Anchor of Hope’s Autism Awareness Festival provides a place for families to connect with local resources and the community

If you radically seek God, He will show up, says Pastor Troy Brewer, a Biblical numerologist and the founder of Troy Brewer Ministries. Saved by grace at the age of 19, Troy’s been sold out for Jesus since day one, and his passion for understanding God’s Word has never waivered. “We’re all called to connect the dots, but you have to be willing to collect the dots,” he shares. Troy encourages Christians to live a life of spiritual awareness - to pay attention to prophetic things, particularly the divine numbers that show up constantly throughout Scripture. Troy shares some of his jaw-dropping observations about recurring numbers - and dates - throughout history, and how it could be a sign that God is trying to teach us something deeper than we realize. There is no power in numbers, Troy says, but there is power in Jesus and He includes them in Scripture for a reason.

TAKEAWAYS

We must be ‘watchers’; that is, Christians who pay attention to what’s going on around us spiritually at all times

The sinking of the Titanic and the assassination of Abraham Lincoln occurred on the same dates, albeit years apart, to teach us something

There is tremendous power in Jesus Christ and the infallible Word of God

Don’t waste time in your life - say yes to whatever mission God is calling you to and be obedient in His leading

Have you ever wondered what it means when you keep seeing the same numbers over and over again? On your phone? On the clock? On a sign, in a book, in the Bible? Is it just a coincidence, or does it represent something deeper? Pastor Troy Brewer says that numbers can be a prophetic signal from the Lord, and if you read through the Bible, specific numbers correspond with targeted concepts and lessons. Number one represents unity, he says, and number two represents faithful witness. The number seven represents all things perfected by the spirit, while the number ten represents perfect governance. Troy is the author of the hit book Numb3rs That Preach: Understanding God’s Mathematical Lingo. He is also the senior pastor of Open Door Church in Burleson, Texas and an abolitionist who has rescued over 12,000 sex-trafficked women and children.

TAKEAWAYS

Jesus speaks often in parables, or symbols, and repetitive number patterns usually emerge here

The hero of the Bible - and of all special numbers - is Jesus, and eight is a number that represents resurrection power and Jesus Christ

Troy’s theory on the End Times timeline adheres to a 2,000-year pattern between major Biblical events - we are living in the last days

Six, often associated with the Mark of the Beast (666), represents the flesh and means completion when seen three times in a row
