Paul Schmitz has worked almost every day to provide showers to Nashville’s homeless since the tornado and COVID-19 hit without his usual army of volunteers.
— tornado winds ripped up a giant tree and smashed it against the hydrant, knocking it out of service.
He has worked almost every day to provide showers to Nashville’s homeless since the tornado and COVID-19 hit. The former Christian radio executive bonds with those in a community he once ignored and sometimes feared.Like many teenagers in the '70s and ‘80s, Schmitz couldn’t stop listening to pop radio, including those Casey Kasem countdowns.
He said he believed in Christian principles, talked about them on and off the air, even helped organize some winter coat drives for the needy with his radio network. Schmitz handed her $2, and she said, with an insistent, raspy voice, “What else ya got? What else ya got?” Schmitz, at the time, was reading two books that sparked his desire to serve to a new level,"Crazy Love" by Francis Chan and"Not a Fan" by Pastor Kyle Idleman.
And then, Schmitz and the church volunteers decided to set up locations to have the homeless eat and talk and make it a community gathering. The volunteers named it People Loving Wichita. Until Schmitz saw a post on his Facebook feed about an upscale mobile shower unit that was part of a high-end outdoor hospitality event.
