78: Expand Your Capacity with Matt Chandler May 27, 2026

Show notes

On this week's episode of Neighbors, Matt Chandler sits down with Ali to talk about the long, but worthwhile road of a life following Jesus. We unpack endurance vs resilience and how we can choose to sharpen those muscles. We talk about what gets a believer through the hard seasons while staying faithful. Matt unpacks his own journey of becoming like Jesus and the power of staying through the hard.

The Christian life and is both "beautiful and brutal" and Matt helps to give believers handles to live and thrive hand and hand with Jesus. He covers this journey through the lens of the Beatitudes in his newest book, Becoming Like Jesus: The Everyday Journey to Living a Life of Holiness. Grab your copy anywhere books are sold.

76: What's Your Tool? with Tasha Layton Apr 29, 2026

Show notes

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.

To follow along with all of Tasha's upcoming projects, find her on Instagram @tashalayton

75: Stop Running, Start Belonging with Whitney Lowe Apr 15, 2026

Show notes

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.

Go get Whitney's newest book, Called Back to Who You Are, anywhere books are found.

74: Is Spiritual Warfare Real? With Dr. Joel Muddamalle Apr 01, 2026

Show notes

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.

Go follow Joel on Instagram for humor and theology treasures: @muddamalle

73: We Have to Pray with Pastor Ryan Britt Mar 18, 2026

Show notes

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:
