Behind the Mic: Podcasting, Ministry, and Indie Artists with Grace Parker of Ashes 613

This week on the Undaunted Pursuit podcast, we’re thrilled to welcome a special guest, Grace Parker, the voice behind the Ashes 613 podcast! In a unique collaboration, we dive deep into the world of podcasting, sharing the ups, downs, and everything in between. Ever wondered what it’s like to run a podcast? We’re pulling back the curtain, comparing notes, and having some laughs along the way.

Grace shares the inspiring story of how she launched Ashes 613, a podcast dedicated to spotlighting indie Christian artists. You’ll be amazed at how her journey mirrors our own beginnings. From humble starts to growing platforms, it’s a conversation full of encouragement for anyone thinking of starting their own podcast—or just chasing a dream.

But that’s not all! We explore the idea of finding rest in unexpected places, like living in a bus or RV for a season. Tying it all back to the rest God took on the seventh day, this part of our chat will leave you thinking about how to find peace in the chaos.

And for some light-hearted fun, tune in to hear about Florida’s quirky weather—did you know iguanas can rain down when temperatures drop? Plus, Mrs. Parker’s Dalmatian made a surprise appearance that had us all in stitches. Let’s just say, Dalmatians can be quite the handful!

We also dive into how Grace’s podcast sparked the beginning of a new ministry, proving that when God is in the mix, amazing things happen.
