My Street is an attempt to get to know my neighbors. Who knows what to expect with each episode. So far the surprises keep coming.

 

Spam chowder, sugar mills, aquarium fish, and a swamp snapping turtle hunter can all be found in this interview with the Jeansonnes.

Jim and Mary are back and have some great stories about their 50 years on their street.  There might be accordion involved.

The first of a two-part interview with Jim and Mary.  What a delight!  This couple has been on their street for over 50 years and have seen a ton of changes.  Inspiring story.

My Street is an attempt for me to get to know my neighbors.  I hope you'll join and be encouraged to do the same in your own neighborhood no matter if you live in an urban, suburban, or rural setting.  Because we often do not know our neighbors we live with suspicion or even fear.  Come along as I try to engage, learn, and seek to know those on My Street.  

Ever heard of a "scratch plant"?  It's when a church planter moves into a community with no existing core group with whom to start.  In the first year, Harris encountered a tornado, COVID-19, and a heart attack.  

Anna Hitt is a young mother and wife.  Physically, she could take me down in a second flat.  A former LSU javelin competitor, she continues her fitness through Cross Fit, wrangling her daughter, and being married to a former LSU lineman.  

Just a few years ago she was diagnosed with MS.  How has that changed her?  How has she responded?  

Will Gray seems like a very successful consultant who helps others (individuals and businesses) to navigate how to become a better version of themselves.  And he issuccessful.  But there was a time when he lost everything.  In this episode we explore God's design in using hardship to help us become who He intends for us to be.  

Will is the marketing and communications director for Fortis Riders . . . a high end chauffeur company that serves people's needs around the world.  For businesses, Will has worked alongside 100+ organizations (nonprofits, startups & mid-sized companies), helping each one become a better version of itself. Through Vocationality, he works with individuals, to help them discover what they're made to do.

In a hurry to leave and an optimistic view of the weather, they left all they owned but for three days worth of clothes and supplies.
