We discuss with Stuart Police Sergeant Katie Guisinger.

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.

Mark and Jim Bunnell, CEO of the Boys and Girls Club of Marshfield, discuss the vital role that Boys and Girls Clubs play in providing safe spaces for youth, the impact of social media on children's social skills, and the importance of community support in fostering youth development. Jim emphasizes the need for engaging programs that help children develop character, build relationships, and learn to give back to their communities.

Takeaways The Boys and Girls Club serves as a vital third place for youth. Social media can be a significant distraction for kids. Eliminating cell phone use has led to better engagement among children. Community support is crucial for the club's operations. Financial assistance is available for families in need. The club provides a safe environment during critical after-school hours. Mentorship programs help older kids give back to the community. Long-term relationships formed at the club can have lasting impacts. The club is continuously evolving to meet the needs of the community.

2:30 FSU Shooting HorrorBypassing Florida's strict campus gun laws, this Sheriff's Youth Program member's rampage exposes the chilling vulnerability of defenseless students. 6:49 Israel's Starvation Siege Kills Thousands of Children While Media Ignores Atrocities              In a horrifying act of deliberate cruelty, Israel's six-week food blockade has plunged Gaza into a man-made famine, starving thousands of children to death and leaving millions malnourished as Israel adamantly states “no humanitarian aid” will be allowed.     Breaking a ceasefire with renewed bombings, Israel has killed families, bombed schools, and even targeted Gaza's only Christian hospital on Palm Sunday. With no food, fuel, or medicine allowed in, humanitarian workers watch helplessly as civilians die under a policy of "voluntary relocation"—a chilling euphemism for ethnic cleansing. 13:10 Christian Zionists Betray Christ: Cheering Gaza's Genocide     Australian writer Caitlin Johnston exposes the shocking betrayal of 30 million Christian Zionists in America, who blindly support Israel's brutal Gaza atrocities, believing it's God's will. Ignoring Jesus's teachings that “my kingdom is not of this world,” these cult-like evangelicals twist Old Testament prophecies to justify starvation and slaughter, bombing child-filled “concentration camp.”         Even pagans recoil at this spiritual bankruptcy! 19:39 Are Christian Zionists Missing Christ as the Pharisees Did?“Christian” leaders like Ken Copeland and John Hagee (who says Jesus didn't come as Messiah and never said he was the Messiah) have exchanged the Kingdom of God for a worldly Zionism.  Like the Pharisees of Jesus' time they want political power and victory and they're whitewashed sepulchres 35:43 LIVE comments from audience 43:33 Mel Gibson: We Need the Truth About 9/11Says we need people of impeccable character to get to the bottom of it.  You mean people like Rudy Giuliani, Howard Lutnick, Gina Haspel? 53:45 US Boasts God-Like Power: Bending Time and Space in a Techno-Babel Takeover! White House tech czar Michael Kratzios stuns the world, claiming the US wields sci-fi tech to manipulate time and space!  He boasts of annihilating distance and supercharging productivity, but is this hyperbole or a chilling reality? With technocrats worshipping innovation as their god, this hubris echoes the Tower of Babel's arrogance 1:02:43 AI Twins: Digital Clones as Personal Assistants or Something Family Can Interact with When Your Gone      A new wave of AI startups is crafting digital twins—eerie replicas that mimic your voice, thoughts, and actions, taking your meetings, answering emails, and even “comforting” loved ones after your death!     Are they trying to replicate Michael Keaton's Multiplicity or Marlon Brando's computer tutor for his son in Superman? 1:31:31 Robot Hype Goes into HyperSpace: Move Fast and Defraud People     OpenAI former employees go public with claims about Sam Altman's character     A Forbes investigation alleges Figure AI's hyped-up robots, promised to revolutionize BMW factories, are exposed as a fraudulent flop, inflating a $40 billion bubble     Nvidia, caught in a trade war, grovels to both the U.S. and China, chasing billions while handing Huawei the AI chip market. 1:48:48 “Singing in the Reign”: Trump's as Unpredictable as the Weather     Trump says we have to weather the storm unleashed by his erratic tariff flip-flops, yet his own campaign merch is made in China.     With prices soaring, orders plummeting, and jobs vanishing, Trump's whimsical trade wars—delayed one day, denied the next—are strangling global commerce. From wine importers to chipmakers, companies reel as his emergency-powers dictatorship mimics 2020's martial law madness. 2:04:30 Global Chaos Ignites Gold Surge as Trump's Unpredictable Tariffs Create Economic Firestorm     Gerald Celente, the trend forecasting legend TrendsJournal.com, exposes a media conspiracy silencing the gold's meteoric rise as it rocketed from $2,041 to $3,327 an ounce.   Wall Street Journal and New York Times are still ignoring spikes of over $100 a day!     Celente warns of a collapsing dollar, nuclear war risks, and Trump's chaotic tariffs shaking markets.

Tanner Pursley was born and raised in Thatcher, Arizona. He served his mission in Recife, Brasil, and graduated from BYU-Idaho where he married his sweetheart Nicole. He got his Masters Degree in School Counseling from Northern Arizona University. Tanner has over six years of EFY experience and another five working as a wrangler for troubled teenagers at Arivaca Boys Ranch. He currently is serving as the bishop in his ward in Morenci, Arizona, where he developed a youth program called "I Can Do Hard Things" to help drive kids off the couch and into living life and preparing for the temple/mission. Tanner's passions include rock climbing, scuba diving, playing Jenga with kids, losing to his bros in fantasy football, and cuddling his little daughter Cedar.

This program, developed while he served as a counselor in the bishopric, aims to provide youth with structured goals across the four quadrants in the Children and Youth program: spiritual, social, intellectual, and physical. Tanner explains how he drew inspiration from scouting and other youth programs to create a comprehensive list of activities that encourage youth to step outside their comfort zones and engage in meaningful experiences. Throughout the conversation, Tanner discusses the importance of parental buy-in and how the challenge has positively impacted the culture of his small ward, which previously struggled with youth engagement and missionary work. He highlights the success of the program, noting that it has led to increased participation among the youth and has even inspired similar initiatives in other organizations within the ward. The episode emphasizes the significance of celebrating achievements, as Tanner describes the award ceremony where participants receive recognition for their hard work, fostering a sense of community and accomplishment. Leadership is about empowering others to reach their potential, and Tanner's approach serves as a practical example for other leaders looking to inspire and uplift the youth in their wards. 05:48 - Tanner's Background and New Calling 06:59 - The "I Can Do Hard Things" Challenge 09:47 - Overview of the Youth Program and Goals 10:44 - Changing the Culture in the Ward 12:01 - Structure of the Challenge 20:49 - Breakdown of the Challenge Areas 25:07 - Physical Challenge Activities 27:51 - Social Challenge Activities 29:38 - Spiritual Challenge Activities 30:49 - Intellectual Challenge Activities 32:04 - Importance of Accountability 33:01 - Reward Ceremony and Recognition 34:27 - Encouraging Participation and Buy-In The award-winning Leading Saints Podcast is one of the top independent Latter-day Saints podcasts as part of nonprofit Leading Saints' mission to help Latter-day Saints be better prepared to lead.
