Show Notes

Imagine, for a moment, the resonating notes of a bass guitar echoing through the hallways of a church, strummed by an 11-year-old boy discovering his passion for music. That young boy is Steve, our guest, who grew up to be a police officer and former pastor. His life has been shaped by the power of music and the critical roles he's taken on in his community. We take a journey with him as he shares his transition from a spiritual guide to a law enforcer, revealing the intrinsic need for empathy, communication, and understanding in both.

 We delve into the depths of Steve's personal life, revealing the strength and resilience he found amidst the sorrow of losing his mother. Through his stories, you'll find the significant role that music plays as a source of comfort and upliftment, even in the face of such adversity. As he opens up about his dynamic with his wife, who is also a police officer, we discover the challenges and rewards of their unique professional situation.

In this intimate and inspiring conversation, we also explore Steve's musical influences, the impact of music on his mood, and how he nurtures his daughter's curiosity for melodies. Amidst the humorous stories of his on-the-job experiences, Steve exposes the gritty realities of the police hiring process. Throughout it all, he highlights the importance of maintaining a positive outlook and shares how he uses music as a tool to navigate life's ups and downs. Join us as we unlock the rhythm in Steve's life and learn how he hits the right notes in his personal and professional journey.
