Sourdough & Raising Autistic Disciples

What does sourdough have to do with an autism diagnosis?

More than you think.

In this episode of Raising Autistic Disciples, I sit down with Courtney Moody of Acts of Sourdough to talk about motherhood, marriage, discipline, safe foods, Domino's pizza… and what happens when the sky "isn't blue anymore" after receiving a diagnosis.

Courtney shares candidly about:

* The guilt that creeps in with every questionnaire

* The "tango" between "It's my fault" and "It was always going to be this way"

* Navigating the controversial conversations around obedience and autism

* Loving your child without clipping their wings

* Protecting your marriage when the weight of parenting feels overwhelming

* And why a diagnosis is an open door — not the driver's seat

We talk about tough love, safe foods, spiritual surrender, and the beauty of raising autistic children for God's glory — even when it feels exhausting.

This conversation is honest, layered, and full of grace for the mom who just walked out of an evaluation appointment cross-eyed and overwhelmed.
