Marriages that weather the storms of life are a rarity. When we throw in the demands of caring for a child with special needs, most marriages just don’t make it. We know as parents we need to invest in our spouse, but how do we do that when so much of our attention is devoted to our children with special needs? In Episode 70, we interviewed Todd and Kristin Evans on how they cultivate a healthy marriage.

However, they overcame. Todd and Kristin shared ways they learned to still enjoy each other and work together as a team. And they are doing ministry together to people who struggle with disabled children. They would love to help you!

From Kari Bartkus at LoveDoesThat.org:

“This week, I am excited to introduce you to Kristin Faith Evans, a mental health counselor who also has two children with rare genetic diseases. Kristin and her husband Todd are the founders of Disability Parenting, and they use both their knowledge and their experience to support other parents of children with disabilities.

Kristin has a multitude of resources available for these families, and I definitely want to point you toward those. But in our conversation today, I’ve asked her to speak to those of us who are not in this situation. Because I’ve found that when we are unfamiliar with something, we tend to be afraid of it. We don’t know what to do. We’re not sure how to start the conversation.

So it is our hope and prayer that this conversation can start one of your own if you have a family in your church or community who could use some extra care and support from you.

We begin by talking about Kristin’s experience discovering her children’s disabilities and how that impacted her life and marriage. And then we dive into some practical questions, such as how can we—as a church, as friends—help, what we can do if we think our friend needs to talk with a counselor, and so much more.”

We’re excited to introduce our therapeutic book for siblings, Beth’s Umbrella.

This special collaboration of children’s literature authors features children’s books about disabilities and inclusion. This collection of books about disabilities for kids will be a great asset to any child’s personal library, but it is also a wonderful list of books to give to teachers for their classroom library.

Advocate For The Hurting Author, Speaker, Mental Health Professional Kristin Faith Evans

“While we know that God always keeps His promises, there are sometimes it just seems impossible. There are times when we just don’t know how THIS could have any good in it. There are times we are plagued with doubt.

Our guest on this episode has been through challenges few of us can fathom.

The Lord, however, is faithful, and will show us things we never would have known any other way but through what happens in our lives. Not only that, He then takes us to places we never would have thought we could go!”

Join me on the Fully Restored Podcast with Author Kristin Clouse as I share my inspiring story about the adjustments and struggles I’ve had as a mom raising two children with special needs.

From Kristin Clouse:

“Kristin’s journey became so overwhelming as her depression increased to the point where she attempted to take her own life. God moved in her behalf, and Kristin woke up in ICU where her life was changed. She began the process of finding the right help and support for the journey of restoring her life.”

From Mark Cravens:

“As a mother of two children with rare genetic disorders and complex needs, Kristin felt that her life was impossible to bear. Over time, she lost faith and became angry at God, questioning His goodness as she looked at her burdensome life. But fortunately, Kristin found her way back to the faith she once held dear and the loving God who had a plan and a purpose for her life even through the hardships she faced.  Her story is a remarkable story of grace, hope, and redemption.”
