After doctors diagnosed their first-born son with autism, Diane Dokko Kim and her husband grieved facing a lifetime of caring for a cognitively disabled child. In her book Unbroken Faith, she admits to struggling with adjusting their dreams and expectations for their beloved son’s future. Yet through this painful process, they learned that God can handle their anger, doubts, and fears. Now, with their son reaching adulthood, Diane uses her experiences to encourage parents of children with special needs. She tells others about God’s unbreakable promises, limitless power, and loving faithfulness. She assures people that He gives us permission to grieve when we experience the death of a dream, an expectation, a way or a season of life. In Isaiah 26, the prophet declares that God’s people can trust in the Lord forever, “for the Lord God is an everlasting rock” (v. 4). He’s able to sustain us with supernatural peace in every situation (v. 12). Focusing on His unchanging character and crying out to Him during troublesome times revitalizes our hope (v. 15). When we face any loss, disappointment, or difficult circumstance, God invites us to be honest with Him. He can handle our ever-changing emotions and our questions. He remains with us and refreshes our spirits with enduring hope. Even when we feel like our lives are falling apart, God can make our faith unbreakable.

Nachdem Ärzte bei ihrem erstgeborenen Sohn Autismus diagnostiziert hatten, trauerten Diane Dokko Kim und ihr Ehemann um ein kognitiv behindertes Kind, für das sie ein Leben lang sorgen mussten. In ihrem Buch Unbroken Faith gibt sie zu, dass sie mit der Anpassung ihrer Träume und den Erwartungen an die Zukunft zu kämpfen hat. Doch durch diesen schmerzhaften Prozess lernten sie, dass Gott mit ihrem Zorn, ihren Zweifeln und Ängsten umgehen kann. Jetzt, da ihr Sohn das Erwachsenenalter erreicht hat, nutzt Diane ihre Erfahrungen, um Eltern von Kindern mit besonderen Bedürfnissen zu ermutigen. Sie erzählt anderen von Gottes unumstößlichen Verheißungen, grenzenloser Macht und liebevoller Treue. Sie versichert den Menschen, dass er uns die Erlaubnis gibt, zu trauern, wenn wir den Verlust eines Traums, einer Erwartung, eines Weges oder einer Lebenszeit erleben.

When parents first learn that their child has a disability, their hearts and hopes are often broken. But their faith doesn’t have to be. On this episode of the podcast, Crystal Keating is sitting down with Diane Dokko Kim. Diane is the mother of two sons, one of whom is on the autism spectrum, and author of the book Unbroken Faith: Spiritual Recovery for the Special Needs Parent. She’s sharing her journey as a special mom, the personal and spiritual crises she faced following her son’s diagnosis, and her struggle to reconcile faith with disappointment. Speaking openly about the doubts and fears that many parents may be too afraid to voice, Diane’s biblical encouragement will help any mom or dad understand that you aren’t alone. God gets it and His word is relevant to the messy and hopeful spaces of special needs parenting.  Whether by diagnosis, disillusionment, a death—or the death of a dream—everyone gets “crippled” by something. God’s purpose is your transformation into greater Christlikeness and closeness with Him. You are His masterpiece in progress. Brokenness may steal, kill, and destroy indiscriminately. But Jesus is an equal opportunity Healer and Redeemer.Questions?

Our Parenting series wraps up with an episode that our tribe has requested overwhelmingly. As parents, we are all doing the best we can to raise great kids. But what about the challenges we didn’t expect? What about the kids who have been left behind? This week, we talked to two mamas who gave us insight into a whole other realm of parenting that requires a special resilience. Jami Amerine and her husband Justin have six kids; four biological, and two adopted. Jami tells us about her beautiful but heart-wrenching experience with foster and adoption, why she refers to her youngest kids as the #vandals, and how God is helping her family write a redemption story through loss. Diane Dokko Kim and her husband Eddie have two sons, Jeremy and Justin. In 2004, two-year-old Jeremy was diagnosed with autism and ADD/ADHD. Diane tells us about her personal and family crises after her son’s diagnosis, how she and her husband have maintained a healthy marriage throughout, and how we can be better friends and neighbors to families with special needs. And lest you think this episode is heavier than most, stay till the end to hear the most hilarious #MomFail we’ve ever heard on the podcast (which happened only an hour before recording!).

Today we’ll sort through the growing controversies unfolding in Washington and talk with Diane Dokko Kim, author of “Unbroken Faith: Spiritual Recovery for the Special Needs Parent” (Worthy Publishing), and Soo Chang, Head of School at West Hills Christian School.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
