You're listening to the Hidden Lightness on America Out Loud Talk Radio.

I'm your host, Jimmy Hinton.

As always, we celebrate the goodness and the lightness in this nation.

And there's a really heartwarming story coming out

of Jacksonville, Florida, where a police officer stepped into action selflessly, immediately,

and he used his faith to save a man's life. I love everything about this story. I love that this man was

courageous, this officer, a law enforcement officer. I love that he was compassionate. I love that he was

helpful. I love that he cared, that he took his time and spoke with the victim because man we just don't know we don't know

what people are going through and this guy was no pun intended at the end of his rope and this guy

the only option that he saw before him was to jump from a

bridge. And he was on the edge. Somebody saw him. They called the police. And the Jacksonville

Sheriff's Department showed up. And this officer stepped into action with the team of other officers

he actually wasn't supposed to be the one to talk to him but because he's a pastor they said the

other officers said hey would you mind talking to our victim here would you mind talking to this guy

who's just going through a really hard time and he said yeah gladly I want you to hear this

exchange this is so powerful whatever you're going through man you can get through it now listen

man listen listen you can going through, man, you can get through it. No, listen, man, listen.

Listen, you can get through this.

Come, let's talk about it for a minute.

Can I at least have a prayer with you?

You believe in prayer, I know that.

Just touch my hand.
