- 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!

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"!
