In this special Father’s Day episode of Down Syndrome: 21st Perspectives, hosts Anne Lewis, and Monique Johnson, and Leigh Frillici welcome a deeply personal guest—Anne’s husband, Jake Lewis—for a raw, heartfelt conversation about fatherhood, faith, and the unexpected beauty that comes from life's biggest challenges.

 Jake shares his emotional journey through addiction recovery, receiving a Down syndrome diagnosis for their son, and learning to embrace vulnerability as a father. This episode is a powerful reminder that healing often begins when we let go of control and choose to love, exactly as we are.
