Pursuing Reconciliation with Jay Harris - Episode #15

Mockingbirds and Mariners

On this podcast you will hear from Jay Harris. Jay can routinely be found on a corner in downtown Jacksonville meeting with anyone, whether it's the mailman, a homeless person, or fellow business owners. Jay enjoys spending time with his wife, Alanna, and their 9 children... yes, 9. He is an entrepreneur, fashion designer, artist, and pastor. From 2011 - 2014 he owned a Clothing Boutique in the heart of downtown Jacksonville named after his streetwear brand, Strght & Nrrw. This boutique was more than just a clothing store and became a missional outpost for the lost and hurting. During this podcast Jay talks about his transition from retail store owner to lead pastor of The Ville Church located in the Springfield neighborhood of Jacksonville, Florida. There, he is focused on his church family, pursuing racial reconciliation in his city and in the church, community development, as well as training and encouraging others to mentor and volunteer in their community and local schools. So sit back, listen, agree, disagree, and hopefully learn something along way.
