26 years in law enforcement, thousands of lives touched. From the DARE program to CASA, Make-A-Wish, and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Nick Schulze has spent his life showing up for people nobody else would. In this episode, Phil sits down with the Mercer County law enforcement veteran, probation officer, and community advocate to talk about faith, fellowship, and the power of surrounding yourself with the right people. Nick shares the story behind a Make-A-Wish family's heartbreaking request, why FCA is changing the way young people talk about faith, and what happened when he opened his home to priests, brothers, and sisters from around the world for seven straight years. If you've ever wondered whether one person's willingness to serve can actually change a community, this episode is your answer.
