Description
At age 29 Kay Toombs was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS), an unpredictable disease of the central nervous system that has since caused paralysis and impacts every part of her life. Living with disability and chronic illness for decades has inspired Kay’s life work. As a Christian, professor, and author she has reflected and taught on issues related to illness, disability, caregiving, and healing. Kay joins the podcast to explore the meaning of illness and share how wholeness is possible for all people, even in the face of disability, terminal illness, and death.
