Dr. Stuart Jones shares the powerful true story behind his award-winning book, For the Love of Stephen: The Story of a Boy Who Was Never Broken. Born with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the 1950s, Stephen was given limiting labels—but his family chose faith, advocacy, inclusion, and relentless love instead. Stuart reflects on special education, Temple Grandin’s “different, not less” message, exploitation of vulnerable adults, forgiveness, and the sermon that helped transform shame into courage: “God Don’t Make No Junk.” A moving conversation about dignity, possibility, and seeing every person as fully human.
