In this episode of Downtown Depot, host Austin Meek talks with Brett Mills, co-CEO of Jesus Said Love. Jesus Said Love is a Waco-based non-profit that shares the love of Christ with women in the commercial sex industry by awakening hope and empowering change. Mills dives into the difference between "height" and "distance" when building relationships with industry workers and gives tips on building a culture-changing enterprise with a spouse. Meek also focuses on East Waco, where the possibilities of a sizeable grant and a new bed-and-breakfast development could radically change the face of Elm Avenue.
