Neighbors with Ali Parsons

77: Women’s Encounter x Neighbors Panel

This week's episode of Neighbors is a special episode live from the Church of Eleven22 Women's Encounter. Featuring Lysa TerKeurst, Gretchen Martin, Rebecca Maxwell, Caitlin Armstrong, Tonya Annis, and Confidence Mokgatle, we laugh, roast each other, and talk about the deep and honest parts of our faith journeys.
This group of godly women unpacked how to walk with Jesus daily, how to discern the voice of God, how to navigate calling, what we wish we knew 10 years ago in our faith, and more. You will laugh, maybe cry, and be inspired to deepen your relationship with Jesus.
To follow these women: @lysaterkeurst, @_caitlin_armstrong, @wifeofapreacherman, @rebeccamaxinjax, @tonya_d_annis, @this_planterswife

76: What's Your Tool? with Tasha Layton

This week, Ali got to sit down with contemporary Christian music artist, author, and songwriter Tasha Layton. Tasha's story and life experience (including touring as Katy Perry's backup vocalist for 4 years) has led her to write and sing and minister from a place of authenticity and openness.
Her candid spirit is refreshing and inspiring as she constantly challenges herself and others to ask what God has for us in this season. We talk all about her story coming up in the Christian music space, going to hard places in order to meet God, and the point of it all: to point our lives to Jesus.

75: Stop Running, Start Belonging with Whitney Lowe

Do you know the magnitude of God's love for you? Do you know the lengths that He goes to win our hearts? We serve a God who is in constant pursuit of us and yet we slip into arm's length living with God all the time.
This conversation with Whitney Lowe, we unpack the reality of God's pursuit for us and how it has the ability to change our whole life. On the other side of this pursuit is freedom and flourishing. When we show up with our real self to a real God, it changes everything.

74: Is Spiritual Warfare Real? With Dr. Joel Muddamalle

Theologian and author, Dr. Joel Muddamalle, has done the heavy lifting for us to unpack the reality of spiritual warfare from a Biblical viewpoint. Joel is my go-to guy for grounded, gospel-centered theological wisdom. This conversation is one of learning, curiosity, and unpacking what the Bible actually says about life on earth, life in the cosmos, and the ultimate desire for God, the Father, to reconcile His family.
You will leave this conversation feeling challenged (many times, I could not believe this stuff is in the Bible), and equipped to push back darkness and fight for the family of God.
Go get Joel's newest book, The Unseen Battle, anywhere books are found.

73: We Have to Pray with Pastor Ryan Britt

As we kick off our new season of Neighbors, it only felt right to talk about prayer. There is no one I'd rather chat with about prayer than Pastor Ryan Britt. He is a friend, a pastor, and someone I seek wisdom from often. His convictions and teachings on prayer have formed much of my prayer life and his thoughts in this conversations will give you a framework for the importance of prayer alongside some practicalities of a life bathed in prayer.
What is more evident than ever is we must be a praying people. If we want to see change happen in our lives, communities, and around the world, it starts with deep, rich prayer. 
If you're interested in some resources we talk about (and some we don't mention, but are still great) on prayer, see below:

This week on Neighbors, we sit down with Angie Elkins of Lifeway Women to talk about her journey as a woman in ministry and the moments that shaped her calling. We explore what it looks like to keep saying yes even when you can’t see the why—and how to head into the new year with a fresh perspective (hint: it’s about subtracting, not adding).
An honest, encouraging, and grounding conversation as you head into the new year :)

68: What's God Telling You to Do? with Annie F. Downs

This week’s episode we have the queen of fun, Annie F. Downs. We go back to how Annie got into writing, podcasting, and speaking. While she has pursued a life of fun and play, she’s also walked dark and grieving seasons. The word through it all is endurance. Enduring seasons and staying the course of what God has called you to do is what has made up her last 10+ years of doing this. As always, she’ll make you laugh, she’ll make you think, and she’ll point you to Jesus.
