Growing up in the foster care system, transferred from family to family five times, Brandon has&nbsp;learned&nbsp;firsthand&nbsp;how surrounding&nbsp;oneself&nbsp;with good company—even under vulnerable conditions—brings joy, hopefulness and a desire to encourage&nbsp;others&nbsp;who&nbsp;may be&nbsp;struggling to&nbsp;experience&nbsp;a similar level of&nbsp;goodness.&nbsp;Join us&nbsp;for this hope-filled conversation as we kick-off&nbsp;the 2023&nbsp;season of the Gospel Con Carne podcast!

Finding Family Again, with My Neighbor Brandon

On this episode of the Gospel Con Carne podcast, Alan sits down with our neighbor and friend, Kim! From losing homes&nbsp;in&nbsp;natural disasters&nbsp;to living out of her&nbsp;car during the pandemic, Kim’s journey hasn’t been easy—but it’s been marked by grit, love and unshakable determination. Originally from western Kansas, Kim&nbsp;made her way to Austin in 2017 after years of navigating life’s twists and turns alongside her son,&nbsp;Jordan. In October of 2023, after reaching out to the Charlie&nbsp;Center, Kim and Jordan&nbsp;moved into Community First! Village, where they now live just around the corner from one another. Since then, life has taken a hopeful turn. Jordan works in&nbsp;our Genesis Gardens&nbsp;operation&nbsp;and&nbsp;also&nbsp;receives support from Integral Care, while Kim has found steady ground and a renewed sense of peace within the Village, especially&nbsp;through her involvement&nbsp;in&nbsp;our&nbsp;Art House&nbsp;program.&nbsp; &nbsp; Known for her quiet strength and deep compassion, Kim believes everyone has a story and that every person deserves dignity. For her, the Village isn’t just a place to live—it’s a place to heal, grow and be surrounded by a community that truly cares.

A Place to Begin Again, with My Neighbor Kim

Our guest on this episode of the Gospel Con Carne goes by 'Sippi'&nbsp;–&nbsp;short for Mississippi&nbsp;–&nbsp;and has been a neighbor in Community First! Village for just more than a year. While it's easy to realize where Sippi's roots originated, he made his journey west to Austin, Texas as a young adult where&nbsp;he encountered a more&nbsp;challenging season of life in and out of homelessness for the greater part of a decade. Growing up as a star athlete with access to things that could get him into trouble, Sippi says he quickly learned that "there's a bad guy in all of us." Even during the dark times he experienced, however, Sippi kept his faith in God's plan, listened to His call and feels that he has now found the place he can call home.

Don't Leave Before the Miracle Happens

On this episode of the Gospel Con Carne podcast, we are joined by not one, but two Alan’s! Joining our host, Alan Graham, is his friend and neighbor, Alan, who moved home to Community First! Village in December of 2019. Adopted as a baby, Alan built close relationships with his adoptive parents and fondly remembers his childhood growing up in north Austin. His life took a turn when he began using drugs&nbsp;as a young teenager, which led to a spiral that ultimately left him homeless. Since moving to Community First! Village, Alan has heavily relied on a Twelve Steps path of recovery for himself, while making amends with others in the process. Alan continues to improve on these steps every day and the work he's put in is reflective in his relationships with other neighbors and his deep desire to live servant-heartedly. While following the Twelve Steps has transformed Alan's life, he has found the most freeing part of the process to be the mending of relationships and rebuilding of the community that he lost along the way.

Life Beyond Twelve Steps, with My Neighbor Alan

On our newest episode of the Gospel Con Carne podcast, Alan is joined by our friend&nbsp;and Community First! Village neighbor, Jimmy! Growing up in Queens, New York, Jimmy&nbsp;says he&nbsp;never really felt at home until he moved to Austin in 1982 to go to college. Despite having distant relationships with his immediate family growing up, Jimmy had the chance to reconnect with his dad after moving to Austin. During this time, they were able to rekindle their bond until his dad eventually passed&nbsp;away.&nbsp;Years later, Jimmy's&nbsp;wife passed away, which was&nbsp;followed by the hard hit of the Covid pandemic. Despite having a strong and consistent work ethic, Jimmy soon found himself homeless. Thankfully, with the help of a local church, Jimmy was able to quickly move into his forever home in Community First! Village in September of 2021. Not only does he work with our Property Beautification team on a daily basis, Jimmy also strives to be a good friend to his fellow neighbors by preaching love, finding the goodness in everyone and encouraging unity over division in the community.&nbsp;

Established in 1995
The Muslim Community Radio is a multicultural and multilingual Islamic radio station. It broadcasts to the Sydney community in general while incorporating elements that target the Islamic community of Sydney. It first transmitted twenty-four hours a day during the month of Ramadan of 1995 and has continued to broadcast during every month of Ramadan and Dhul-hijja (Pilgrimage month). In addition, in 1997 Muslim Community Radio was broadcasting on every Friday of that year until the introduction of the temporary broadcast community license (TBCL). Muslim Community Radio currently broadcasts 24 hours 365 days a year covering all Islamic events. Because Arabic/Lebanese is, according to statistics, the major ethnic language communicated among the Muslims in Sydney, understandably the radio programs are primarily transmitted in the Arabic and English languages with spots of other community languages, evolving in pace with demand.
