Neurodivergence, Family and Faith is a podcast for Christian parents and carers 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.

    Special Interests - 20
    May 19 2026

    This episode explores the role of special interests in the lives of many neurodivergent people and why they can be so much more than hobbies. From deep comfort and regulation to connection, and joy, Dave and Kate look at how passionate interests can shape wellbeing in everyday life.

    They also unpack a common misunderstanding: special interests are often judged by how “useful” they seem to other people, but that misses the point. For many neurodivergent people, these interests offer calm, focus, and a place to rest from the complexity of daily life.

    19. Hospitality Guided by Grace
    Apr 29 2026

    Hospitality can feel complicated in families with neurodivergent members, especially when routines, sensory needs, exhaustion, or unexpected changes make “normal” hosting difficult. This conversation explores how Christian hospitality can still be meaningful, flexible, and life-giving without copying what works for someone else.
