Living with Neurodivergence from a Christian Perspective
Hi, I'm RaChelle. Together, we will explore the science behind neurodivergent patterns, thought processes, and behaviors. We'll support each other through prayer and see what the Bible says about our mind, will, and emotions. Finally, we'll commit to showing grace and patience as we apply spiritual principles and coping strategies to our everyday lives.
What I Do
My articles and blog posts about neurodivergence from a Christian perspective are grounded in authenticity, vulnerability, and empathy. I believe in creating a safe and inclusive space for all readers, regardless of their background or experiences. Through sharing my own journey and insights, I hope to inspire and encourage others to live their best lives.
What I Write About
Gray: Neuroscience teaches us that the gray matter is the information processing center of the brain. Neurodivergence is a difference in brain function from what is considered "typical." Through my writing, I will break down how neurodiversity occurs physically in the body, how it feels on the inside, and what it might look like on the outside. Topics include neuroplasticity, memory, executive function, visual thinking, special interests, relationships, mental health, sensory processing, stimming, rituals, and routines.
Pray: As Christians, we can acknowledge our personal experiences and trust God to help us in our struggles. Romans 5:3-5 NLT says, "We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love."
Slay: This is the call to action. We will identify strategies that will assist us in living out the Biblical principles in our lives.
Who I Write For
My articles and blog posts are written to help other Christians who are diagnosed or think they may have some neurodivergence and aren't sure what this means for them. The purpose of my writing is to give other Believers hope and encouragement that they are not alone, and that the Holy Spirit empowers us to be overcomers by the transforming of our minds.
