42m | Aug 27, 2026

Many parents dream about the day their children launch into adulthood, but for families raising children with special needs, the empty nest may look very different. In this episode, Cindi and Joe Ferrini share insights from their new book Special Needs Parenting and discuss the unique challenges and blessings of caring for a child with special needs into adulthood. We talk about grief, marriage, finding joy on an unexpected journey, and trusting God when your parenting role doesn't unfold as you imagined.
