The Rising Above staff is passionate about helping churches and ministries around the country. We are excited to minister together to bring hope and encouragement to the special-needs community!

Becky Davidson

Becky speaks passionately as someone who “gets it,” shaped by her own journey as a special needs mom and widow. She shares her heart in the book she co-authored with her late husband, Jeff, Common Man, Extraordinary Call: Thriving as the Dad of a Child with Special Needs, and as the host of the Rising Above with Becky Davidson podcast.

Becky has a heart for connecting with families impacted by disabilities and is deeply passionate about serving and encouraging them. Through her speaking, she offers honest encouragement, practical tools, and hope rooted in her own experience. Whether she’s with church leaders, parents, or entire families, Becky’s desire is to strengthen, uplift, and remind them that they are seen, supported, and not alone.

STeve Chatman

With 30 years of pastoral experience, Steve is passionate about seeing families embrace their journey and thrive in the midst of whatever season of life God has them in. Steve is husband to Lori, dad to 5 amazing kiddos (2 with Down Syndrome), and 3 cool grandkids. His experience as a dad of a child with special needs is invaluable to our team. He is also passionate about churches embracing their mission to reach families impacted by disability in their communities.
