As a young child, Steve Finn lost his dad and became fatherless. After struggling as a teen, he found a new lease on life and decided to be a police officer with the purpose of helping others who struggled as he did. Eventually, his heart led him and his wife to start a boys home in the mountains of West Virginia -- a place of refuge and restoration rescuing them from mediocrity -- or worse. Today, Steve and his wife are creating change across the state. It's a reminder that a dream pursued can create a bigger impact than you can imagine. You don't want to miss this interview.
