What does it mean to follow Jesus when discipleship is often understood through knowledge, comprehension, and the ability to articulate faith? Drawing on Matthew’s call and his experience as the father of a son with Down syndrome, Andrew Barron challenges these assumptions. Andrew explores how people with intellectual disabilities can be recognized not simply as recipients of ministry but as full participants and teachers in the church. He invites us to see discipleship as rooted in embodied faith, dependence, grace, and belonging rather than intellectual ability.
