Luke Mickelson grew up a farm kid in small-town Idaho, raised by a single mom who pushed him hard toward the only definition of success he'd ever been given — make money, don't struggle the way she had to struggle. He built a good career. He hit the markers. And around 2010, something he wasn't prepared for started pulling at him anyway. He calls it a midlife crisis. It coincided with a faith crisis, a quiet unraveling of certainty he'd carried his whole life, and a season of sitting with questions he'd never actually let himself ask. Not what his mother believed, not what his community expected, not the version of himself everyone around him had already decided he was. What did he actually believe? Who was he, honestly, underneath all of it? Out of that searching came something Luke never planned. He discovered that in his own community, children were sleeping on floors. No beds. Not because anyone was hiding it — because nobody had noticed. He built one bed. Then a few more. That accidental discovery became Sleep in Heavenly Peace, now a national nonprofit that has delivered beds to tens of thousands of kids who had nowhere to sleep. This episode is about what happens when a man finally stops avoiding the hard questions about himself — and what he finds on the other side when service becomes the answer he didn't know he was looking for.
