Neighbors with Ali Parsons

Have you ever wondered how to know and trust God's goodness while staring trauma and past hurt in the face? Ashley has walked the road of deep darkness and pain, but where scars remain are her testimony of God's goodness. She has used her pain as a platform to tell people about Jesus and the way she lives her life is a reflection of radical transformation. I cannot wait for you to hear this conversation.

He spent his life rescuing others (literally like from pirate ships) and along the way got rescued himself (by Jesus). With over 20 years serving and leading in the Navy, Victor faced experiences that forged his faith in a deep way. He’s walked through isolation, forgiveness, and racism. And now he lives a life serving others and being a light on the hill.

Kyle and Bailey ooze Jesus from their pores. They both had (have) dreams and callings, but they weren’t totally unified on those callings at the same time. But, God took them on a beautiful journey of surrender and prayer to seek what He was telling them to do. And now it has landed them in South Africa as long term missionaries, working to equip people and spread the gospel. It’s been a rollercoaster of small steps towards obedience, but they are now walking in a freedom and abundance that they never knew possible.

From walking in my why, practicing humility (in both pride and insecurity), and trying to figure out how the heck to be a podcaster, this year has been WILD. We are celebrating one whole year of the Neighbors Podcast and this episode, Ali unpacks 10 learnings from our first year and how it applies to any dream or life experience (not just podcasting). 

Mostly, we are just so grateful for YOU. Neighbors is not Neighbors without every listen, view, subscriber, follower, and friend. So thanks for being as much a part of this journey as we are. Here’s to year 2!

Ron's story is one of redemption in so many ways. From a tough childhood (to say the least) to drug running to being radically saved and changing his life, Ron embodies what it looks like to be on mission everywhere he goes. 

Ron is the Founder and Executive Director of Sponsored by Grace, a ministry that exists to empower children and families by sharing the Gospel, connecting them to a local faith family, and meeting their physical needs, along with Grounds of Grace, a local coffee company that serves to support the mission and vision of Sponsored by Grace. In summary, Ron is moving mountains in the city of Jacksonville by walking out what God has called him to do.

Another episode with your favorite, and mine, Caitlin Armstrong. The Wheel of Topics is back (this is the least creative name, but it’s all we got) and we cover Target horror stories, the Olympics in review, our favorite parables, and confidence to wear makeup when we feel like it...or not.

If anyone knows about wearing a crown, it's Demi. But, as powerful as being crowned Miss Universe in 2017 was, she quickly discovered that title was fleeting and was faced with an identity crisis. And so started her identity journey of rooting herself in Jesus. We talk confidence, purpose, friendship, and how God gives us experiences to always draw us near Him. Demi is full of stories, wisdom, and learnings from her walk with the Lord as she has stepped from season to season. I know you'll be encouraged AND I know you'll want to order her book so here's the link to her website or you can get it wherever books are sold: https://demitebow.com/

Season 3 is coming to an end and there felt like no better way to close it out than with this special conversation with my very own parents. Now in their mid 60s, they have raised 3 girls, led amazing careers (paid and unpaid), and now are taking retirement head on as an opportunity to deepen their faith and share it with others. I am inspired by their boldness and encouraged by their reflection on what they did and didn’t do as parents, spouses, friends, and followers of Jesus. I love these two people so deeply and I hope this conversations brightens your day!

This man makes magic with every dish he prepares! And it’s not just his food, it’s his love for Jesus THROUGH the food that fills the soul. Patryk is one of the kindest, most vibrant men of God and he is truly trying to take each step in obedience to what God is calling him to do. And for many years it has been sharing Jesus through preparing food. He is an incredible chef, co-founder of Sausage Dudes (the actual best sausage you’ll ever eat, go to Publix and get some right now), husband, dad, and devoted follower of Jesus. He is what it looks like to live out your unique calling from God for His glory alone.

Go give @thesausagedudes a follow!
