## Resource

In this deep and authentic episode of BUILD, Stephen Scoggins sits down with singer-songwriter and speaker Chris Hendricks for an unforgettable conversation on faith, purpose, vulnerability, and the power of community through music. Chris opens up about living with cerebral palsy, rediscovering his calling, and building a music movement centered around authenticity and impact — not fame or algorithms. Together, Stephen and Chris explore what it means to turn affliction into artistry and pain into purpose. From battling cerebral palsy to building Perfectly Afflicted and launching the Be Yourself movement, Chris's story is a powerful reminder that your scars are not signs of weakness — they're the evidence of your strength. We cover: Music is ministry — art becomes powerful when it serves. Your difference is your advantage. Disability is not limitation — it's adaptation and empathy in motion. The future of music is community-powered and purpose-driven. Chris also treats us to 2 amazing songs so tune in and get inspired!
