Dr. Andrew Beaty has eleven children that bear the image of God. Among these children exists a wide range of physical and mental disabilities. With this special family comes special responsibilities, not only for the Beaty family but for the church. Join us for this week’s episode of CarSeat Questions for a conversation all about special needs families: how to love them, pray for them, and act on their behalf in accordance with God’s word.
