Neurodivergence, Family and Faith is a podcast for Christian parents raising neurodivergent kids, and for the churches and friends who walk alongside them. Each episode offers practical tools, grounded in research and shaped by the wisdom of the Bible. Hosts Kate Morris and Dave Whittingham draw on their backgrounds in theology, education, and ministry, as well as the experiences of their families. Both are parents of neurodivergent kids, and Dave is neurodivergent himself. Kate has completed further study in neurodivergence, and is an Honorary Research Fellow with Mary Andrews College (Australian University of Theology). Together, they bring both understanding and expertise as they explore topics like managing energy, navigating sensory differences, and finding joy and belonging in church and family life. Whether you’re doing the dishes, chasing the kids, or catching a quiet moment, this podcast offers comfort, encouragement, and guidance to help your family thrive for God’s glory.Copyright 2026 Kate Morris and David Whittingham Christianity Ministry & Evangelism Parenting & Families Relationships Spirituality
