Jeanette shares a personal confession about longing to be deeply known and the pain of being misunderstood, especially in her advocacy for deaf and deafblind ministry.

She uses a Sunday morning accessibility conflict to illustrate how assumptions can harm relationships, points to Jesus’ example of seeing people beneath the surface, and urges listeners to slow down, ask questions, and listen with love.

Ultimately she encourages rooting the desire to be known in God, who fully understands us, and challenges us to offer others the gift of truly being seen.

Jeannette shares her experience at the Bring Worship to Life workshop in Nashville, where she came to learn worship interpretation but left with a deeper spiritual breakthrough.

Through music, prayer, and community, she learns to release perfectionism, receive God’s peace, and trust that the battles belong to Him—even while facing ongoing family challenges.

A hearing mother and long-time deaf ministry volunteer reflects on decades of personal experience, sharing why many deaf people feel excluded from church life despite surface-level access.

She challenges churches to move beyond minimal accommodations—investing in qualified interpreters, respectful inclusion of Deaf culture, and platforming Deaf leaders—so deaf people can truly belong, participate, and lead.
