Neighbors with Ali Parsons

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 :)  Follow Angie on all the things: @angiebrownelkins -- Here is the clip we discuss on aliens: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/3JfZhfwafjA -- 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 [email protected]

This week, Ali sits down with bestselling author and Bible teacher, Lysa TerKeurst. They catch up on what Lysa has been up to lately, how she is prepping for Christmas (which includes making space in a full season, yes please), and key takeaways from her newest book, Surviving an Unwanted Divorce. We unpack a couple practical steps you can take today to begin healing and debunk some common myths around divorce. This conversation is for anyone carrying hard into the holidays — and for those wanting to love their people well this Christmas.    Follow along with what Lysa is up to @lysaterkeurst and snag a copy of her book HERE -- 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 [email protected] 

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.  Follow her on instagram @anniefdowns -- 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 [email protected] 

This week’s episode is Rebecca Maxwell, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a great friend of Neighbors. Rebecca just launched her first book into the world, Jesus and Your Mental Health. We unpack the Biblical nature of our mind and our universal need to pursue mental wellness along with some of the barriers in our world and culture. We also discuss some of the trends in the mental health space; how the pendulum has a tendency to swing too far in one direction and how we can all be a part of a middle ground. As always, she is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the integration of faith and science.    You can buy her book on Amazon HERE   And follow her on instagram @rebeccamaxinjax  -- 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 [email protected]
