Ordinary People with Levi Steele

Jason Hoard has spent his life chasing two great loves—bluegrass music and his faith. From picking up the mandolin at seven years old to touring with Third Day, he's lived the kind of musical journey most people only dream about. In this conversation, we dive into his decades-long love affair with bluegrass festivals, what it's been like building a career in Christian music, and how faith and family ground everything he does.Check out Jasons website: https://www.jasonhoard.com/?fbclid=IwY2xjawRk9KFleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFGb3RFN3FiWU1UYVcxeFZMc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQPNTE0NzcxNTY5MjI4MDYxAAEe7ltTGiKMzm9ODegraj7qneP8FGqtokQdql3P8GI7L-9yOSIUpw3e52y989U_aem_tX6GJsDj2SeMVqxndL--FAIf this episode resonated with you, please follow and rate the show.

In an era of declining local news coverage, independent journalists are stepping up to fill the gap. In this episode, we sit down with Becky Watts, community watchdog and founder of Pike County Times, to explore how she launched her digital publication to keep local politicians accountable and report on the issues that matter most to residents. We discuss the state of legacy media, the challenges of independent journalism, and why staying informed about local government is essential for a thriving community.Link to Lt Oxfords Story: http://pikecountytimes.com/secondary/oxfordprocession4.27.26.htmlBecky's other links: Articles Prior to 2017 - http://pikecountytimes.com/secondary/oxford12.13.14.htmlParts 1,2,3: The Long Journey Home - http://pikecountytimes.com/secondary/oxford12.1.15.htmlBREAKING NEWS: MIA Lt.

Keith Ford was a troublemaker. Not the kind people laugh about — the kind headed for a dead end. He was running full speed in the wrong direction until a wreck stopped him in his tracks, and God stepped in. In this conversation, Keith holds nothing back — the chaos, the crash, and the call that changed his life.

Today I sit down with Johnna Johnson, a physician assistant with over 21 years of experience who did something most people in her position never do — she walked away from a successful career to start over and build something better. Johnna is the founder of Cornerstone Family Wellness in Concord, Georgia, where she practices functional medicine, a specialty focused on finding the root cause of illness rather than just treating the symptoms. She is a UGA graduate, holds her Master of Medical Science from Emory University, and is a published author in one of the top PA journals in the country. But her credentials are only part of the story. In this conversation, Johnna opens up about the food we consume, her faith, the hard seasons she has walked through leading to where she is today.

Listener note: this is a very heavy episode, please listen with care. Johnny and Karen Peek didn't plan to tell this story. For years, the shame was too heavy — too buried, too tied to who they thought they were supposed to be. In this raw, unfiltered 1 hour 40 minute conversation, they open up about growing up, falling in love, an unplanned pregnancy, an abortion, and the weight of shame they carried long after. But this isn't where their story ends. It's where it begins.
