Giving Guitars with Steven and Kellee Cade
What happens when a Nashville country artist with 18 Grammy nominations decides to use his platform to serve homeless shelters? In this inspiring episode, meet Steven and Kellee Cade, founders of Giving Guitars—a local nonprofit that's donated over 250 guitars to shelters across 24 states and three countries.
Steven and Kellee share the powerful origin story of how a backyard performance and a God-given vision sparked a movement that's transforming lives through music. Their son Levi describes the incredible moment when Steven strums the first chord in a shelter: "You can just kind of feel the cloud of darkness over the room. And when my dad strums the first chord, it's like the shift in the mood is so fast." Shelter directors report they've never seen such joy on residents' faces.

Learn about the therapeutic power of music for vulnerable populations, the strategic approach Giving Guitars takes to maximize community impact, and heartwarming stories from 155 shelter visits, including a retired pastor who spent 15 years washing the feet of homeless individuals.
