Today on the podcast I'm welcoming Jackson Hughens, a filmmaker and passionate advocate behind the movie, Made With Love and the "Stories Made With Love" documentary series. Listen-in as he shares his own personal story of meeting his friend with Down syndrome, and how meeting Jay has ultimately changed the trajectory of his life!
Topics discussed in this episode:
- Hear Jackson's personal story of meeting his friend with Down syndrome and how Jay has changed the trajectory of his life!
- Understand how Jay opened Jackson's heart through the love and joy of their friendship, and how Jay ultimately has changed the way Jackson sees and understands people with disabilities.
- Hear Jackson's story of coming to faith, realizing the unending love of God, and how Jay even had a part in his testimony story!
- Listen to Jackson's story of walking through anxiety, the self-worth he gained through His faith in God, and how that same faith now propels him to want to highlight the self-worth of others!
- Hear the story of how Made With Love (the movie) came to be, and how you can help support the film and watch Jay become a movie star!
- Learn how Jackson and his dad are traveling around the country to capture the "Stories Made With Love" video series, documentaries of inspiring stories of individuals with Down syndrome — and watch them on YouTube!
Jackson's dad joined me on the podcast all the way back on episode 16 "Behind the Curtain with David Hughens, Screenplay Writer of Made With Love (the movie)". In that episode, we heard from David Hughens, the screenplay writer of the movie, as he shared his experience with Jay and why he decided to write the script! Now, we get to meet the "son" of the father-son duo behind the movie AND the documentary series, "Stories Made With Love"!
