About Episode 9

In this moving episode, Dr. Rush and Dr. Sneller sit down with Dana and Kristen Mason, parents of McCarthy and Audrey, to hear their powerful story of navigating life with a child on the autism spectrum. From their early days in Lake Charles, Louisiana, to building a supportive life in Houston, the Masons share how their faith, family, and church community have sustained them. We explore the realities of raising a non-verbal child with special needs, the shift from asking “why us?” to embracing purpose, and the deep lessons in patience, presence, and joy they’ve learned along the way. This episode is a testament to resilience, love, and the power of community.
