People Loving Nashville with Nathan Scarlett
What began with McDonald's apple pies shared on Nashville streets in 2007 has evolved into a life-transforming ministry. In this Nashville podcast episode, we sit down with Nathan Scarlett, outreach specialist with People Loving Nashville, who shares his remarkable journey from meteorology student to homeless advocate. Nathan reveals how this faith-based local nonprofit is revolutionizing homeless services through their four-pillar approach: relief, community, connection, and restoration.
Nathan brings 12 years of street outreach experience and a unique perspective as a former competitive boxer who competed in Indiana Golden Gloves. He channels that fighting spirit into advocacy for Nashville's most vulnerable residents. With a bold goal to permanently house 503 people before retirement, Nathan has already helped 155 individuals find stable housing while working with People Loving Nashville and previous organizations.
Discover how People Loving Nashville mobilizes 80-100 volunteers every Monday night for comprehensive outreach services. Learn about their homefulness program that provides intensive care management, their Paradiso's Cafe restoration program offering employment opportunities, and the housing challenges facing Nashville's homeless community. Nathan also shares practical advice on supporting local homeless services, from acknowledging individuals at stoplights to donating essential items like socks and hand warmers.
This episode offers valuable insights into preventing burnout in social services, the importance of faith-based approaches to homeless care, and the secondary trauma that service providers face. Nathan's story demonstrates how personal calling combined with professional expertise creates lasting impact in community outreach.
