Luke Mickelson on Sleep in Heavenly Peace

What if the solution to a hidden crisis started in your garage? 🛠️

This week on Stop, Look & Listen, host LeTroy Gardner sits down with Luke Mickelson, author and founder of Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP), to tackle the heartbreaking reality of child bedlessness and how one simple act of service sparked a global movement. 🌎

Growing up in Kimberly, Idaho, Luke learned the value of community early. But it wasn’t until a church conversation revealed local children sleeping on the floor that everything changed. What started as building a bunk bed with the Boy Scouts became a life-altering mission after delivering a bed to a 6-year-old girl who had never had one, sleeping instead in a “nest” of clothes.

That moment ignited SHP’s growth from a garage project to a worldwide nonprofit with:
🛏️ 430+ chapters
🌎 48 states & 4 countries
👧🏽 160,000+ children currently on the waiting listLuke shares how a feature on Returning the Favor hosted by Mike Rowe accelerated SHP’s expansion, how anyone can start a chapter through SHPbeds.org, and why service unites people beyond politics or background.💡

His message? You don’t need money or extra time to make an impact. Start by sharing the mission so families know hope—and a bed—are within reach.

This is more than a conversation. It’s a call to action.
