My Journey to Reconcile Religious Beliefs with Reality

Marshall Mitchell

Washington State University

This article describes the tensions that I have wrestled with between my fundamentalist Christian socialization and my lived experience since acquiring a spinal cord injury. First, being a model disciple and an evangelist of my community's religious beliefs did not exempt me from being placed in an aberrant status. Second, being immersed in conservative religious beliefs did not equip me to deal effectively with the reality of my disability. In fact, it made the process more difficult. Third, the journey to reconcile my religious beliefs with my reality has been a more frustrating, painful, lifelong process than the physical difficulties caused by my impairments.
