| 64: The Adventure Inside Every Man with Joby Martin | 01 oct. 2025 | 01:00:05 | |
This week we are sitting down with my very own pastor, Joby Martin. Inside of every man is the question, “do I have what it takes?”. We talk about where that originates and how the ache of risk, danger, and adventure lives inside of every man. This world has tried hard to dull it, but the Bible says otherwise. It was such a fun conversation about how all of us can play a part in cultivating space for our men to flourish. Because where men lead and love well, everyone flourishes. Be sure to buy Pastor Joby’s book, Stand Firm and Act Like Men, anywhere books are sold. It’s for any man and anyone that knows a man 😉 Follow along with Pastor Joby @jobypmartin -- You can follow along all things Neighbors Podcast on Instagram @neighbors_podcast -- To join our Patreon community, The Neighborhood, go to: www.patreon.com/neighborspodcast -- For merch or to get a copy of Daughter, head to our website: www.theneighborspodcast.com -- To reach out, you can email Ali.neighborspodcast@gmail.com | |||
| 63: What in the World is Happening? | 17 sept. 2025 | 00:54:48 | |
In today's audio only episode, I sit down with my friend and Bible teacher, Caitlin Armstrong, to process what has been happening in our country this past week alongside the truth of who God is and what His Word says. We know it's been a heavy week and at the same time, we are seeing God move in a mighty way in His Church and this country. We hold onto a hope beyond what we can see knowing we serve a real and good God.
Scriptures we reference: Habakkuk 1 Luke 6:27-28 Acts 7
Key takeaways: 1. Guard your inputs 2. Anchor in scripture 3. Pray for our enemies 4. Share your faith

| 62: Called to Hustle, Not to Results with Jordan Raynor | 03 sept. 2025 | 00:48:51 | |
If there is someone who has wrestled out what the intersection between faith and work is, it’s Jordan Raynor. With his spitfire energy and unique lens at which he evaluates the character and nature of God, he shows us this beautiful integration between work and faith. He unpacks what it means that God is a working God and why that matters in your life whether you are a CEO, stay at home mom, or garbage collector. We get super practical (always a win) with disciplines you can start implementing into your life right now!

| 61: I Didn’t Know How to Give God my Addiction with Alan and Hunter Orcutt | 20 août 2025 | 01:01:51 | |
If you need a story of God’s relentless pursuit of us, despite our brokenness, this story is for you. Hunter and Alan have walked the hard road of addiction and running from God to now living a life telling people about the goodness of God’s pursuit and healing. Their vulnerability and willingness to be an “open book” in order to help others raise their hands who need help is inspiring and humbling. They challenged me to think about the parts of my life I am not surrendering and the freedom that awaits when we lay it all in front of the Lord time and time again.

He will challenge anyone, no matter age or season of life, to press in on what your calling is and how God has uniquely wired YOU to do what only you can do through the power of Jesus.

| 59: Love Your Life (Even When You Don’t Like It All The Time) with Rachel Awtrey | 23 juil. 2025 | 00:55:25 | |
Do you ever find yourself going through the motions of life? Like life is happening to you, but if you stop and feel life, you may not make it. Rachel Awtrey has been through her fair share of hard seasons, yet she has found the secret place of joy in those moments that Jesus promises us. In this week's episode, we talk about some of those hard seasons that led to this book and how she stays rooted in truth no matter what her circumstances say. We talk about God as a God of enjoyment and fun and let's be honest, we all could stand to re-gain a bit of enjoyment and fun in our life.

| 58: Ladybug at the Well with Reina Cherry | 09 juil. 2025 | 00:56:49 | |
If there is one woman I want to grow up and be like, it's probably Reina Cherry. You may not know her name, but her impact can be felt amongst hundreds of women that she has discipled and cared for over decades of ministry. She makes more disciples than cookies (and she makes a LOT of cookies - shout out Reina Cookies). She is fiercely devoted to a life centered around Christ and inviting other people into that life. And she is absolutely hilarious. She is the goal and I am honored that I got to share time with her. -- You can follow along all things Neighbors Podcast on Instagram @neighbors_podcast -- To join our Patreon community, The Neighborhood, go to: www.patreon.com/neighborspodcast -- For merch or to get a copy of Daughter, head to our website: www.theneighborspodcast.com -- To reach out, you can email Ali.neighborspodcast@gmail.com | |||
| 57: Beyond Your Circumstances with Jeramiah Bowles | 25 juin 2025 | 01:06:00 | |
Life has dealt Jeramiah a hand he maybe wouldn’t have picked for himself. But, God. Because of His faith in Jesus, Jeramiah has chosen a different path. One of joy and gratitude. One of hard work and generational legacy. His testimony is one of deep struggle and pain, but also one of big redemption, big healing, and big hope. No matter where you find yourself, no matter the circumstances, God is bigger and we know He’s good. It’s messages like Jeramiah’s that remind us of this vital truth. -- You can follow along all things Neighbors Podcast on Instagram @neighbors_podcast -- To join our Patreon community, The Neighborhood, go to: www.patreon.com/neighborspodcast -- For merch or to get a copy of Daughter, head to our website: www.theneighborspodcast.com -- To reach out, you can email Ali.neighborspodcast@gmail.com | |||
| 56: Your Story Matters with Tori Hein | 11 juin 2025 | 00:54:56 | |
We all have a story. We all have many life experiences, big and small, that make up who we are - the lights and the shadows. What’s wild is we may not even realize how parts of our story play out in our everyday lives. This week, I sat down with Tori Hein. She is a trauma-informed coach with Freedom Movement who wants to see all people walk in freedom through the power of Jesus Christ. She shares her story of hurt and healing and how much more alive she is by not white knuckling life any longer and surrendering it all to Jesus. Anytime, I talk to Tori or hear her teach, I am encouraged and challenged to keep surrendering, knowing His ways are better. Also, she’s giving any Neighbors fans $100 (!!) off their course. They also have a free version you can start with to see if it’s for you.

| 55: Get in the Fight with Mike Dragich | 28 mai 2025 | 00:52:59 | |
This week, I sat down with alligator trapper, marine corps veteran, MMA fighter, and founder of Project Savior Outdoors, Mike Dragich. We talk about how the fight in him turned from vengeance to justice after meeting Jesus. He inspires everyone around him to get in the fight, whatever that looks like for you. Project Savior Outdoors is a ministry to fight veteran and first responders suicide. We discuss the realities of suicide in those fields and how the hope of Jesus is fighting back the darkest darkness. All while hunting alligators and adventuring in creation. It’s a good one friends.

| 54: I Have a Job for You with Chantelle Kammerdiener | 14 mai 2025 | 00:53:29 | |
I want to be Chantelle when I grow up! She is wise, confident, and sharp. AND has a heart that beats for people, particularly survivors of human trafficking. Chantelle led a successful career in business (even working for the horse, Secretariat, more on that in the convo!) and as she encountered the brokenness of human trafficking, she knew she had to join the fight. So with a couple others, she founded Arize Together - a forever community that is breaking the cycle of sexual exploitation. Hearing her talk so tenderly and proudly about the survivors in their community and why it matters that we care for the broken and the hurt is inspiring. I hope it inspires you to take the step God is calling you to take to walk out what it looks like to love Him and love people well.

| Episode 53: The Country Music Missionary with Lou Ramirez | 30 avr. 2025 | 00:49:09 | |
Lou Ramirez is a follower of Jesus and a behind-the-scenes powerhouse in the country music industry. Lou has worked, and currently works, with some of the biggest names in country music. People like Blake Shelton, Cole Swindell, Cody Johnson, Dan + Shay, and more. He has been in the music industry for 20 years and as he has grown in his faith so has his mission to love people and share Jesus with them. Lou is leveraging everything he has to share the gospel in the country music world and to be a light in a place where the things of this world have a strong grip on most. And that is why I have dubbed him the "country music missionary". -- To join our Patreon community, The Neighborhood, go to: www.patreon.com/neighborspodcast -- You can follow along all things Neighbors Podcast on Instagram @neighbors_podcast -- For merch or to get a copy of Daughter, head to our website: www.theneighborspodcast.com -- To reach out, you can email Ali.neighborspodcast@gmail.com

| Episode 52: Sit Down & Slow Down with Trey Thompson | 16 avr. 2025 | 00:50:41 | |
Do you ever meet those people that have such a genuine love for life it oozes out of everything they do? That's Trey Thompson. For the past 10 years, his circumstances have not always been easy due to a journey with brain cancer, but yet he finds ways to be grateful, joyful, and in tune with what God has for him. His story is one of endurance, hope, and a whole lot of sourdough.

Do you feel like you live life so full and fast you barely have time for relationships that truly matter? Relationships like your spouse, kids, friends, etc. Like everyone is getting your leftovers? This conversation is one that will surely inspire you back to that abiding place in whatever relationships you find yourself in. Michael and Ashley have walked through many seasons and continuing to show up for each other, their boys, and their community has proven to be the most worthy calling apart from pursuing Jesus with all they are made of. -- To join our Patreon community, The Neighborhood, go to: www.patreon.com/neighborspodcast -- You can follow along all things Neighbors Podcast on Instagram @neighbors_podcast -- To reach out, you can email Ali.neighborspodcast@gmail.com | |||

| Episode 48: Jesus in a Strip Club with Tami Taunton | 19 févr. 2025 | 00:36:40 | |
Yeah, you read that right. Tami Taunton, the founder of Hadassah's Hope, believes that all people should hear the good news of the gospel, and all people includes strippers. Each week, her ministry loves on girls in the clubs, leads bible studies, and even ministers to the bouncers and club owners. Tami was your classic stay at home mom - loving her husband and raising babies unto the glory of God . Until one day, God blew all of that up and led Tami to start serving a group of people largely looked over or disregarded. This conversation is inspiring and you may just find yourself bringing Jesus to a strip club near you.

| Episode 47: From Prison to Pastor with Walker Day | 05 févr. 2025 | 00:56:33 | |
From addict to jail to homeless to jail again to radically saved to cleaning toilets at the church to pastor, Walker Day’s story is one of darkness to light. His candid and authentic personality paired with his heart for the farthest, most broken people is magnetic. Woven through his story are countless lessons from the Lord and questions we all should wrestle through. This conversation will inspire you to go after whatever little thing God has put in front of you right now and to never miss an opportunity to love those people on the fringes. -- To join our Patreon community, The Neighborhood, go to: www.patreon.com/neighborspodcast -- You can follow along all things Neighbors Podcast on Instagram @neighbors_podcast -- To reach out, you can email Ali.neighborspodcast@gmail.com | |||

| Episode 45: Fighting Distraction with Ryan Britt | 08 janv. 2025 | 01:06:38 | |
Today's guest is one of the smartest men in my life. Pastor Ryan Britt is the Executive Pastor of the Church of Eleven22. His giftings in leadership and teaching others how to lead well are a rare gift. We walk through SO many topics from the myth of self love, the Enemy's schemes to distract us from purpose, and how to lead and love well. This episode is so timely for the new year as it will give us handles and riverbanks as we set goals, make changes, etc. in order to stay Christ centered and mission focused. -- To hear more from Pastor Britt, you can catch him on the Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin podcast weekly (he remains wiser than us all and does not have social media) -- You can follow along all things Neighbors Podcast on Instagram @neighbors_podcast -- To reach out, you can email Ali.neighborspodcast@gmail.com | |||

In the past few years, has the world (or maybe your life) felt unstable, uncertain, or unsettled? Turns out, you aren't alone. This week we talk with Pastor Matt Chandler about his newest book, The Overcomers, and how the book of Revelation gives us so much hope and assurance in a broken and skeptical world.

| Episode 41: Sometimes Life Just Hurts with Scott + Morgan Parks | 13 nov. 2024 | 00:52:30 | |
We all face suffering. Whether it’s past, present, or coming. Suffering is a guarantee in the life of a Christian. Scott and Morgan Parks experienced a season of suffering and, amidst the hurt, decided to leverage it for the glory of God. We unpack their story of loss, their unique healing journeys - the good, the bad, and the ugly, and we talk about how God inspired their boutique as a platform to love other people walking through loss.
Our conversation is hard, but needed. If you’re hurting or you haven’t healed from past hurt, I hope you feel seen, loved, and encouraged today. I hope Jesus draws you into His healing wings and you find rest for your soul there. And don’t hurt alone.

Welcome to the unfiltered wheel of topics – Caitlin talks very transparently about her journey with anxiety and the rollercoaster it’s been weaning off medication, we talk about the power of God on display in the book of Revelation, and what’s easy and hard in our lives right now.

| Episode 39: I Want to Trust You, but I Don't with Lysa TerKeurst-Adams + Chaz Adams | 16 oct. 2024 | 01:05:17 | |
The alternate title to this episode was "swipe right" because that's how Lysa and Chaz's love story started. This episode is FULL of gems. We get an inside look at why dating is hard, how to work through trust issues (we all have them), why doing the work on yourself is worth it, and what we can do to trust God when we just straight up don't feel like it. Their love story will give you hope. It's a reminder that there is beauty after the pressing, my friend. Lysa TerKeurst is a New York Times Bestseller Author, Speaker, and President of Proverbs 31 Ministries. She has written TONS of incredible books, but her newest one, I Want to Trust You, but I Don't, is a must read.

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.

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.

| Episode 36: The Rollercoaster of Obedience with Kyle + Bailey Raab | 11 sept. 2024 | 00:56:50 | |
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.

| Episode 34: From Crack to Christian with Ron Armstrong | 28 août 2024 | 00:46:11 | |

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.

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.

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! -- You can follow along all things Neighbors Podcast on Instagram @neighbors_podcast -- To reach out, you can email Ali.neighborspodcast@gmail.com | |||

| Episode 28: The Secret of Being Content with Dr. Asher Chanan-Khan | 22 mai 2024 | 00:54:16 | |
What can I say about Dr. Asher other than his relationship with Jesus is what we should all strive for. He has tasted “success” by the world’s standard and through his 15+ year journey with cancer, he has truly found the secret of being content. We talk about worship through the valleys, the clarity a diagnosis like cancer can bring, and how every day we get to serve God is a gift. This is a man I look up to and I think you will too!

| Episode 22: Don't Get Lost in Loss with Joye McCrea | 13 mars 2024 | 00:56:18 | |
Grief comes in all different shapes, sizes, colors, timelines, and emotions. It can sneak up when you least expect it and leave you feeling lost and alone. Joye has walked this road of grief. She is walking it. But she does it with joy (and not just because that’s her literal name). This conversation is FULL of what it looks like to not get lost in loss. Joye is an actual ray of sunshine on a rainy day and even though a lot of her days have been rainy the last two years, she has received it as her God-given assignment to point people to the only true source of joy. And His name is Jesus.
Also, Joye was featured this week in our church’s video story during service.

Former (as of a few weeks ago) NFL player, Josh Wells has had some mountaintop highs (like winning the Superbowl) and some low lows, but since surrendering his life to Jesus after his first NFL season, he has held fast to an identity rooted in something much deeper than football. Now retired, he is using all that football taught him to lead his family, love his kids, and love God well. He has been living out his calling as a football player for 10 years and is now wrestling with what is next for this new chapter.

| Episode 18: Modern Warfare with Steve Biondo | 14 févr. 2024 | 00:48:40 | |
This episode is such an important conversation in 2024! President of the Tim Tebow Foundation, Steve Biondo, and I got to talk about what it means to fight for humans in our day and age. From the critical dangers of pornography to human trafficking to cycles of abuse, he is SO wise on all things human. TTF is fighting for the marginalized, the forgotten, the abused, and the broken. And we should too. There is so much we need to be educated on to advocate for the people that cannot advocate for themselves and Steve helps give handles to why this work matters so much. AND at the end of the day, the Gospel always goes first. It is the light we bring against the darkness. There is no doubt Steve is living out his unique calling. Whether it's presenting to global governments or kicking down doors to rescue the one, he is constantly leaning in to what the Lord has for him here and now. -- You can follow along all things Neighbors Podcast on Instagram @neighbors_podcast -- To reach out, you can email Ali.neighborspodcast@gmail.com | |||
