What happens when a sheriff sees inmates not as lost causes—but as people capable of restoration?

In this episode of TheoDodos, Rob sits down with Floyd County Sheriff Steve Bush for a conversation about law enforcement, faith, leadership, addiction recovery, second chances, and the surprising power of grace behind bars.

Sheriff Bush shares stories from more than three decades in law enforcement, including his time as a detective, marathon runner, county commissioner, and now sheriff. But at the heart of the conversation is something deeper: the belief that no one should be defined by their worst moment.

From baptisms inside the jail to stories of changed lives, this episode explores what it means to lead with compassion while still holding people accountable.

And yes… there’s also discussion of Boston marathons, police cruisers, and gummy bears.
