Redefining Family: Unconventional Fatherhood and Acceptance

This episode of 'Conjuring the Human Spirit' features a heartfelt conversation between Shawn McGuire Meeks and his chosen-Dad, Jack Meeks. They explore their unique, intentional father-son relationship rooted in love and faith that transcends traditional boundaries.

The discussion covers Jack's upbringing in a small Florida town, his journey through personal loss and faith, and the transformative impact of embracing Shawn, a gay man, as his son. They also touch upon the influence of a maternal love that echoes across generations, and how this rippling love has recently welcomed a trans grandson into their family.

The episode highlights themes of acceptance, healing, and the expansive power of the human spirit to choose love over prejudice.
