Have you ever felt a divine nudge to help someone, but let fear stop you? In the very first episode of our new "Tide Talks" series, Jeff and Javon dive into the powerful origin story of the Ride The Wave Foundation. Jeff shares the pivotal moment that started it all: the day he walked past a beat-up van, felt a "soft wave of warmth," and chose to respond to a calling from God.

This conversation goes to the heart of what it means to be a servant leader. The hosts discuss the importance of overcoming fear and pushing through our comfort zones to connect with those in need. They argue that solutions to complex problems like homelessness won't come from the top down, but from everyday people—from an "inside-out" approach built on courage, empathy, and genuine human connection. This is more than just a podcast; it’s a blueprint for how you can make a tangible difference in your own community.

The vision of the Ride The Wave Foundation is to empower people, one connection at a time, to create a ripple effect of positive change that will eventually lead to an all-inclusive campus for those experiencing homelessness. This story, captured in the book "The Man in the Van," is just the beginning.
