    JustLove: Reconciliation through Jesus

    Episode 120: Can a Conversation Change a Community? | Madhur Dey & Pastor Drew Thompson What happens when people with different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives choose conversation instead of division? On Episode 120 of the Get ’N’ Your Business Podcast*, host Alison Shores sits down with Madhur Dey, CEO and founding director of Just Love, and Pastor Drew Thompson, lead pastor of Union City Church in Brunswick and chair of the Just Love board. Just Love began with a friendship. Madhur and Drew came from very different backgrounds and didn’t always see things the same way. But instead of walking away from difficult conversations, they kept talking, listening, challenging one another, and building trust. Those conversations eventually helped lead to the creation of Union City Church, a deliberately multiracial church, and later Just Love, an independent nonprofit focused on helping churches, organizations, leaders, and communities pursue reconciliation in practical ways. In this episode, they discuss: • How Madhur and Drew’s friendship became the foundation for Just Love • Why difficult conversations require relationships and trust • How Union City Church became intentionally multiracial • The impact of COVID-19 and the murder of Ahmaud Arbery on their work in Glynn County • Why Just Love became an organization independent of one church • The six-week Reconciliation Journey Experience • Bringing people together across racial, generational, political, church, and community lines • Learning the local history behind divisions within a community • Turning conversation into practical action • How more than 250 leaders from 23 congregations and 11 community organizations have participated during Just Love’s first two years • What bringing the Reconciliation Journey Experience to Camden County could look like Madhur and Drew emphasize that Just Love doesn’t enter a community with a predetermined solution. Their first step is listening. For Camden County pastors, business leaders, educators, community organizations, and others interested in learning more, the invitation is simple: Start with a conversation. Learn more and connect with Madhur and the Just Love team at just-love.co. A Reconciliation Journey Experience also begins in Brunswick on October 5, with registration information available through Just Love. 🎧 Listen to Episode 120 and discover what can happen when people choose to come to the table, hear each other’s stories, and work toward a stronger community together.

The conversation also addresses many of the concerns being raised locally, including electricity demand, water use, cooling systems, noise, jobs, infrastructure and potential tax revenue. Alison and Betsy also discuss Camden County’s current pause on data-center development and why community input, planning and local ordinances are an important part of determining what future development could look like. In this episode: What a data center actually is Why demand for data centers is growing Different types and sizes of data centers Power usage and Georgia’s electrical grid Water use and closed-loop cooling systems Noise, setbacks and monitoring Jobs and workforce considerations Property taxes and infrastructure costs How local ordinances can establish development standards Why community participation matters before decisions are made Betsy also previews a series of community listening sessions scheduled for October 1, October 15 and October 22 at the College of Coastal Georgia Camden Center, where residents can learn more, submit questions and hear from subject-matter experts. The goal of the conversation isn’t to tell Camden County residents what to think it’s to provide more information so people can ask better questions and participate in the discussion.
