Episode Description
In this inspiring episode of Finding Certainty, syndicated host Patrick Laing sits down with Brady Murray, Founder of RODS Heroes and CaringTide, to discuss the profound impact of adoption and the beauty of raising children with Down Syndrome and other disabilities. Brady shares his personal journey as a father of 11, including two children with Down Syndrome, and seven total adopted children. Together, Patrick and Brady explore the challenges and triumphs of parenthood, nonprofit work, and how disabilities—often inaccurately seen as weaknesses—can not only be transformed into strengths but can actually be advantages and inspiration in and of themselves (the lessons they teach can most definitely be). Through their conversation, Patrick and Brady offer a heartfelt message to families, urging them to open their hearts to the joy and capabilities of individuals with Down Syndrome and other mental and physical challenges. Brady emphasizes the belief that no professional success can compare to the fulfillment found in a strong, diverse, and dynamic family, and he shares his mission to change perceptions, proving that disabilities can be a powerful source of strength and inspiration both.
