Country singer and songwriter John Paul Von Arx joins Oscar for a heartfelt and uplifting conversation about what it truly means to see the image of God in every person. We talk about human dignity, authentic respect, and how to move beyond superficial inclusion when engaging with people who have Down syndrome or other disabilities. From lessons learned in MMA fights to everyday encounters that challenge our perceptions, this episode invites you to see others—especially those the world overlooks—with new eyes and a fuller heart.
