Kevin and Sarah LaRose: The Conversation

Sunday Edition Presents: A Conversation with Kevin and Sarah LaRoseBy: Anthony Corona

Air Date: February 15

In this heartfelt and deeply layered conversation, we sit down with Kevin and Sarah LaRose to talk about life, love, blindness and vision loss, faith held onto, faith practiced, faith questioned and faith reclaimed.

For years we have corresponded, supported and amplified one another’s work across advocacy spaces and community conversations. It was long past time that we sat down together not only as colleagues in the work, but as friends and partners in shared purpose.

Sarah and Kevin have been married since 2012. They first met in 1998 while participating in advocacy activities online and through the American Council of the Blind. What began as shared advocacy grew into shared life.

Kevin is a lover of history and politics, an enthusiastic home cook, an avid podcast listener and the kind of reader who juggles three books at once. A gifted wordsmith, he describes himself as an introvert, yet he is also a generous encourager who offers thoughtful compliments with sincerity and care.

Sarah taught biblical languages at Anderson University from 2015 to 2024 and received the Jacob Bolotin Award from the National Federation of the Blind in 2016. She now works as a braille transcriber for JBI Library. In her memoir, Past the Gray Curtain, she offers a deeply personal reflection on faith, identity and lived experience. You can learn more about Sarah and her work at http://www.sarahblakelarose.com and explore Kevin’s work at http://www.kevinlarose.net.

While there are many memoirs available today, this is a beautifully written, thoughtfully presented and deeply thought provoking work. Supporting one another is not only about hitting a like button or sharing a post. It is also about showing up through action. Please consider purchasing Sarah’s book today and investing in the powerful storytelling and lived experience she so generously shares.

During our conversation, we explore navigating blindness and vision loss within faith communities, translating belief into lived practice in a modern world and the quiet courage it takes to wrestle with doubt while holding onto hope.

Gabriel Lopez Kafati joins us for part of the conversation as we begin teasing an upcoming six week series of Thursday night discussions leading up to and through the Lenten season and Easter. Together we talk about what it means to translate faith into action and compassion in today’s world.

This episode is thoughtful, honest and grounded in lived experience. It is a conversation about partnership, calling and the ongoing journey of becoming.
