In this episode, we revisit a conversation between host Shannon K. McCoy and Johanna Pressley on autism through the lens of biblical counseling.

Together, they explore how parents, churches, and counselors can come alongside children with autistic traits in ways that are wise, patient, and grounded in God’s Word. Johanna shares from both personal experience and biblical training, helping listeners think clearly about diagnosis, identity, and the transforming hope of the gospel.
