In this powerful episode of the Just God Pod, I sit down with my good friend Tim Nicholson—a man whose story beautifully captures what it means to respond to God’s quiet nudge with bold action.

Tim graduated from George Washington University, where he played four years of Division I baseball. But beyond the field and the classroom, Tim noticed something that stirred his heart deeply: the visible and growing homeless population in Washington, D.C. Day after day, walking through the city (aka “Tent City”), he couldn’t ignore what he saw. But more than that—he couldn’t shake the conviction God placed on his heart to do something about it.

Now pursuing his master’s degree at the University of Michigan, Tim is living out that calling in a real, tangible way. He recently launched the Campus Homeless Project—an initiative aimed at mobilizing college students across the nation to serve and advocate for the homeless in their own communities. What started as a small idea rooted in compassion is now growing into a potential nonprofit organization, with the dream of establishing campus ambassadors at universities everywhere.

Tim’s story is a reminder that ministry isn’t always behind a pulpit—sometimes it starts with simply noticing who society forgets and being willing to step in with love.

If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to live out your faith in a practical and world-changing way, this episode will encourage and challenge you.

Tim’s verse of the week is a strong one from 2 Timothy 1:7 “for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”
