Project 614: Revitalizing Columbus with Faith and Psychology
Christ came to redeem all things back to him, which means make things new, make things right. And when he said all things, I'm fairly certain when Jesus said that he meant all things, not just how I feel about myself, but all things that are made made things right.
What if you could transform an entire community through the power of faith and psychological insight? In this episode of 'Relational Recovery', Wes Thompson and Austin Hill dive into the remarkable story of Project 614, a community development corporation dedicated to rebuilding neighborhoods on the westside of Columbus. Inspired by the vision of Isaiah, Project 614 aims to take broken things and make them whole again, using a blend of Christian spirituality and psychological principles.

Wes and Austin discuss the nuts and bolts of community building, sharing how the initiative is making a tangible difference in the lives of residents. They also touch on the vital role that alumni from The Refuge Ministry play in this transformative journey.
