It's JUST business ft. John Onwuchekwa

When you hear the word "gentrification," how does it make you feel? If you've grown up in the hood, or most neighborhoods of lesser means, when you hear the term "gentrification," it probably makes you cringe—and rightfully so. So much of what comes with gentrification and redevelopment deserves that kind a response, if not even resistance. But if gentrification is a tidal wave that's bound to come anyway, is it possible to ride that wave instead of drowning and being swept away by it? In this episode of The Unsilent Church podcast we have the privilege of speaking with John Onwuchekwa—pastor, author, network leader, and entrepreneur—about the relationship between justice and business. How does the church disrupt injustice and cultivate peace? There's a number ways, but at least one way is through just business. Listen as John tells his story about how he and the community are playing a role in the redevelopment of Atlanta's West End, learning how to swim in these waters usually intended to flood 'em out. Enjoy!
