This episode introduces “Working Together,” a Therapeutic Community Rehabilitation Project, on the 120-acre grounds of the former Fellowship Farm, with a mission to help homeless, addicted, or incarcerated individuals—many who have often been physically, mentally, and sexually abused—but desire for a “hand up, not a hand-out.” The conversation centers around founding father and executive director Ted Edwards—businessman, seminarian, and marriage and family therapist—and Isaac A—staff member, whose life and experiences mirror those of the 65 “students” who will be invited into the two-year program beginning December 2023, involving therapeutic opportunities and the development of work-related, life, and relationship skills. This 501(c)3 non-profit offers a second chance to those whose early lives gave them little chance for a productive life.
