The very first episode of Movin’ Acadiana features a conversation with John’s good friend Paul Hood, who spent 20 years serving as a professional minister in the Catholic Church. Paul shares stories from his years in ministry, including moments where he saw faith show up in ways too big to explain any other way.
Paul also opens up about a major health journey — recovering from a double organ transplant just as the world shut down for COVID-19 — and what it was like navigating that season. Today, Paul works as a travel agent with Enchanted Journeys Travel, and he and John talk about what travel looked like in a COVID-changed world. It’s a fitting, personal way to kick off the show.
John Ray Perkins III is a Lafayette, Louisiana REALTOR®, founder of The John Ray Group, and a storyteller at heart. After nearly 20 years in youth and family ministry, John Ray brought his passion for people, relationships, and community into real estate in 2019. Today, he helps families navigate one of life’s biggest decisions while sharing stories, local insights, and a little South Louisiana humor along the way. A husband, father of four, and proud Acadiana local, John Ray believes real estate is about more than houses. It’s about people, their stories, and the places they call home.
Hey Hey, It’s John Ray!
