Luke Mickelson: No Kid Sleeps on the Floor in Our Town!

This week, Mike welcomes Luke Mickelson, the founder of the nonprofit organization Sleep in Heavenly Peace. Mickelson shares the poignant story that led him to build his first bed for a child in need, leading to the creation of Sleep in Heavenly Peace. What began as a simple act of kindness has grown into a global movement. Today, SHP has over 400 chapters in 4 countries and 46 U.S. states, delivering beds to nearly 300,000 children in need. Luke has personally trained and mentored hundreds of chapter leaders, sharing his blueprint for community-driven change and empowering others to serve with heart and purpose. In this episode, Luke discusses the emotional moments that fueled his passion, such as delivering a bed to a young girl named Haley who had never owned one, and the realization of the critical issue of child bedlessness. The interview also emphasizes the joy and purpose found in serving others and how small actions can lead to monumental change. Luke details how volunteers and donations have played a critical role in the organization's success, outlining ways listeners can get involved, from building beds to spreading awareness or even starting their own chapter.
