Episode 1: Aubrey's Testimony

"I lost everything—but Jesus gave me everything new." In this powerful first episode of the All Things New Podcast, co-founder Aubrey Pridgen shares his raw testimony—from growing up in South Jackson and running a bar, to a tragic accident that landed him in jail, and ultimately, to his transformation through Christ that led him to become a chaplain at the very jail he once served time in.
