Today we have part 1 of Emily Colson’s presentation at a recent Colson Fellows residency in Arizona. Emily is the daughter of Chuck Colson and the author of “Dancing with Max,” a book about her son, Max, who has autism.

Emily gives a moving appeal to the church to welcome every individual—especially those with disabilities—and tells us how God has changed her life, and the life of her church, through Max.
