Meet Our Mainstage Speaker: Larah Roberts
Larah Roberts is a passionate speaker, author, and advocate for families raising children with autism. As the founder of Raising Autistic Disciples, Larah has dedicated her ministry to equipping and encouraging parents to raise neurodiverse children with Gospel-centered hope, purpose, and faith.
As a mom walking the special needs journey herself, Larah brings both deep compassion and real-life experience to her message. She speaks honestly about the challenges, questions, and sacred moments that come with special needs parenting, while continually pointing families back to the truth that God is present, faithful, and at work, even in the storms.
Larah’s heart is to help parents see their children not as problems to be fixed, but as image-bearers created intentionally by God. Through her teaching, writing, and ministry, she reminds families that autism is not the center of the story, Jesus is!
We are honored to welcome Larah as our mainstage speaker for Peace Be Still 2026, where she will share encouragement, truth, and hope for moms navigating the beautiful and complex journey of raising children with special needs.
