March 24, 2025 What is Spring and How Do I Define it In My Life? with Pastor Mike Kelsey- Episode 970

Pastor Mike Kelsey is back to help set us up well as we step into spring…BLESS GOD.
As you may remember, Pastor Mike is here with us at the start of every season this year, so we can really be intentional about thinking through not only the physical changes of the season but the emotional and spiritual side too. Today on the show, we’re answering the question, “What is spring and how do I define it in my life?”
Y’all had LOTS OF THOUGHTS when he was here with us in the winter, so I can’t wait to hear what you think about this episode. Single Purpose League, we also recorded a bonus clip for you that’s available over on Patreon.
We finally get to turn THE ACTUAL PAGE in our TSF Seasons Guidebook today and jump into the spring pages, so we’re on page 40. And if you haven’t gotten a Guidebook, today’s the perfect day to purchase yours. When you do, you’ll immediately be able to download the winter and spring pages and get started with us…you can find everything you need at anniefdowns.com/seasons.

March 21, 2025 That Sounds Fun: The Seasons - Spring is Here!

We are so glad you’re loving this rhythm of walking through the seasons together this year on That Sounds Fun, and WE KNOW YOU’RE READY FOR SPRING. My gosh, we are too.
We all feel it, right? The anticipation of a new thing. More light. More warmth. More color. The winter was both long AND full of purpose. It was both painful AND sacred, cold AND cozy.

But we are ready for spring! Starting Monday, March 24th we officially kick off the spring on the podcast with none other than our pastor for this year in the seasons, Pastor Mike Kelsey. Y’all loved his insight on the winter and he’s returning to help us usher in this new season. He’s going to help us figure out what spring means spiritually and how we define it in our lives. And as the spring continues we’re bringing on some incredible guests to help us answer questions like:

What do I do when spring still feels like winter?
How do I transition seasons well?
How do I identify when spring is here?
And how do I process change in busy seasons?

Spring is going to bring us opportunities to talk about resurrection and revival. It’s going to give us the chance to talk about resting in the midst of busy seasons and still feeling stuck in your own winter when everyone else is in the full bloom of spring. And we just might have another soundtrack for the season that we all get to listen to!

Plus, YOU KNOW Eddie and I are going to keep talking once a month BECAUSE DUH WE LOVE IT, and you just never know when an Always Annie episode will get dropped in too.

But here’s what I really love: we’ve had the chance to really journey together through the TSF Seasons Guidebook where we have pages for you to take notes, answer journal prompts, and process questions from each episode. So we have new spring pages for your Guidebook ready to go! If you already purchased the Guidebook in the winter, you should have received an email already with your spring pages.

But if you don't have a copy yet, head over to anniefdowns.com/seasons to purchase yours and you’ll get both winter AND spring and then you’ll be emailed summer and fall pages as each of those seasons begin.

God’s been working in big ways in the stillness of the winter, and I pray we see the fruit as we turn the page into spring. But in all of it, our hope is to help you get the most of every season. We don’t want to let it pass us by without acknowledging what God’s up to.

March 17, 2025 Winter Never Gets the Final Word; Spring is Coming with Ellie Holcomb- Episode 968

Today we’re answering the question, “How do I handle the changing of a season?”
We’re talking about the changing of the seasons today and I love what Ellie said about this book, because it’s exactly what we need right now as we step into spring. She said: “We all know what it’s like to be in the winter seasons and this book is a reminder that winter never gets the final word.”
Ellie’s new kids book and accompanying album is called Spring Sings and it’s an Easter book so this would be such a fun gift to put in Easter baskets!
You’re going to love this conversation and if you’re following along in your TSF Seasons Guidebook, we’re on page 27. For those of you who have the guidebook, your spring pages are being emailed to you today! And it’s not too late to jump in and still get a guidebook. Head to anniefdowns.com/seasons to purchase yours and you’ll get our winter and spring pages, and then we’ll email you summer and fall when those seasons begin.

March 13, 2025 AFD in NYC: Is it Springtime Yet? An Essay About My Body- Episode 967

Once a month this year, we'll have an essay from me with some thoughts and ideas I am processing in real time. This started when I first moved to New York, and we called them AFD in NYC, as I was real time learning what it was like to live here. One of the episodes that mattered a lot to you all (and to me) was AFD in NYC Episode 6: An Essay About My Body and how NYC was changing my body... well, how it was changing my mind about my body. And a truth that remains today is that my body thrives in New York more than other cities...

March 10, 2025 Pressing On When God is Silent, A Meet-Cute Story, and The Purity Movement with Rebecca St. James and Cubbie Fink- Episode 966

Today on the show, we’re answering the question, “Why does the winter feel so long?”
You may know Cubbie Fink as one of the founding members of Foster the People, but he’s also an incredible producer and creative force. And joining him is his wife Rebecca St. James—Grammy and Dove Award-winning Christian artist, worship leader, author, and just all-around wonderful human.
I think we’re all feeling OVER THE WINTER at this point, so we’re going to talk about why it feels so long and how we handle it, AND we get to talk about Cubbie and Rebecca’s book about their life and marriage, called Lasting Ever.
If you’re following along in your TSF Seasons Guidebook, we’re on page 25. And as always, if you still want to get a Guidebook (especially because spring pages are coming soon, we’re emailing them out on March 17th!), you can find it at anniefdowns.com/seasons

February 24, 2025 Hope In the Valley of Grief and Suffering with Mattie Jackson- Episode 961

Today on the show, Mattie Jackson is back to help us answer the question "Where is the hope of winter?” You may remember her from episode 345 and if not, you’re going to love her. She is an incredible author, speaker, and entrepreneur with a heart for helping others find hope in the midst of life’s hardest seasons.
Mattie so generously offers her wisdom and story as a friend who’s experienced tremendous grief after suddenly losing her husband at the age of 28. Her latest book: Through the Valley of Grief, is a 365-Day Devotional of Spiritual Practices for Hope in Suffering, and as we talk about trying to find hope when it feels like winter will never end, this devotional and Mattie’s heart is something I think you’re going to learn a lot from today.

February 20, 2025 Always Annie: Where Can I Grieve?- Episode 960

Once a month this year, we'll have an essay from me with some thoughts and ideas I am processing in real time, and we call those Always Annie episodes because I am, in fact, Always Annie.
Last month, I told you how much Nashville means to me and how it feels to have my heart living in two cities right now. I am here today in New York City, the other city I call home and the other city that holds my heart.
Two days ago, we released Where Did TJ Go?, a children’s book about grief and loss but more important to me, a book about my nephews Sam and TJ. TJ was born in June of 2022 and died later that summer. I already loved New York then, but it never crossed my mind to consider this city my home...

February 17, 2025 Where Did TJ Go? Navigating Grief and Loss with Tatum Green and David Thomas- Episode 959

Today on the show, I get to introduce you to my sister, Tatum Green, and we’re also joined by David Thomas, whom you know and love from Daystar Counseling and the Raising Boys and Girls podcast.
Together, we’re going to share with you the story of my nephew, TJ, and why we wanted to put this brand new book, Where Did TJ Go? in your hands.
We keep saying this is a book we wish no one needed, but so many families do, and that was our reality as a family in 2022 when we realized we couldn’t find the right book to read to my nephew, Sam, about losing his baby brother.
We absolutely have the hope of heaven, but grief and loss can make it feel like it’s always winter and it will never end, so if you’re taking notes in your TSF Seasons Guidebook, we’re on page 19, and we’ve given space to process today as you listen.

January 30, 2025 Annie and Eddie Keep Talking About Cold Plunges and Holiday Decor - Episode 956

Today on the show, I get to keep talking with your pal and mine, Eddie Kaufholz. He needs no introduction around here, but do we cover the hard-hitting questions like does a snowman count as Christmas decorations or can they be part of just general winter decorations?

We also talk a little bit about my new kids book coming out on grief and loss that I wrote with my sister, Tatum Green. You can find more info and preorder that here: Where Did TJ Go?

If you’re following along in the TSF Seasons Guidebook, there are no note-taking pages for this one BECAUSE WHY WOULD YOU NEED TO DOCUMENT THIS NONSENSE. But. There is a nice crossword puzzle on page 16 so if you want something to do with your hands while you listen, we’ve got you covered there!

January 13, 2025 When Winter is Breaking Your Heart with Lindsay Sherbondy- Episode 952

Today I talk with my long-time friend Lindsay Sherbondy (or you may know her as Lindsay Letters). She’s a full-time artist, living just outside of Madison, Wisconsin with her husband, Dugan, and their two kids, Eva and Phoenix. Their world was turned upside down in August of 2019 when Eva sustained a traumatic brain injury, and as you can imagine, every day since has presented itself with new challenges and new beauty. Today Lindsay is generously sharing their story and it was an honor to get to hear her talk about the broken-heartedness of what they’ve walked through and I think you’re going to feel that too.

January 6, 2025 Epiphany 2025

Y’all know I love a meeting- whereas most people say “that meeting could have been an email” I tend towards “that email could have been a meeting”... so this is the one time a year I feel like we get to have a meeting. Which brings my soul joy. Epiphany is when I get to stop the show for a minute and instead of you listening to an episode of TSF, you are listening to what is going on behind the scenes, the plans, the people, the direction. It’s also a day I always want to see and celebrate, pause and think, and invite you to do the same thing.

December 20, 2024 That Sounds Fun: The Seasons - Coming in 2025!

There’s something really profound to be said about the changing of a season—winter, spring, summer, fall—but even more so—there’s something profound about actually realizing which season you’re in emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

To pay attention to your season raises some important questions...
Where is the hope in the winter?
What’s blooming in and around us in the spring?
What kind of fun are we chasing in the summer?
And what’s being harvested in the fall?

These are the themes that will be the center of the That Sounds Fun Podcast in 2025. We’re going to spend the entire year talking about the spiritual impact of all four seasons in our lives. We’ll use questions about the seasons we find ourselves in as guides for the conversations on the podcast and we’ll also have some episodes that are just me processing with you.

We’ve created a TSF Seasons Guidebook as a companion to walk through this year with you. It includes space for you to take notes and capture your reflections on the podcast episodes, some fun activities and recipes to try, scripture to reflect on, and journal prompts to respond to. We’ll deliver additional pages at the beginning of each season so that, by the end of the year as we’ve walked through all four seasons together, we’ll be able to look back at all God has taught us and what we’ve seen Him do for us, in us, with us.

We are really looking forward to this year and hope you'll join us. Find the guidebook here: www.anniefdowns.com/seasons

December 5, 2024 Catching Whimsy, Curiosity, and Giraffes with Bob Goff - Episode 944

Today on the show, I get to talk with the king of whimsy himself, Bob Goff. This is his third time back to That Sounds Fun and he’s always a good friend to us and a really wise voice we can learn from. His new book Catching Whimsy is a 365 day devotional challenging us to intentionally live a life full of kindness and wonder and, of course, some whimsy too. He shares stories of visiting prisons in a Santa Claus suit, building a giraffe habitat, and encourages us to get curious about other people. I think you'll really like this one.

December 2, 2024 Advent Makes Space for our Grief, but Christmas Makes Space for our Joy with Lanier Ivester- Episode 943

Today on the show, I get to talk with my long-time friend Lanier Ivester.
I’ve known her for 30 years and I don’t think I’ve talked publicly much about my grandmother’s book store, but Lanier worked there growing up, so this conversation was so sacred to me—to relive some of those memories, to get to talk about my grandmother AND THEN get to talk about the Advent & Christmastide season, which y’all know is sacred to me too.
Lanier’s very first book, Glad and Golden Hours: A Companion for Advent and Christmastide, is out now and it's so good. She has walked through great grief in infertility, losing her parents, and a house fire. I think you’re really going to love getting to know her story and her heart.
We also recorded a little bonus for Single Purpose League too.

November 28, 2024 Annie + Eddie's Thoughts on Thanksgiving Food, Travel Robes, FOMO...and a Hint of 2023- Episode 942

Name a better way to spend Thanksgiving than listening to a conversation with our pal Eddie Kaufolz. We’ve been recapping each year of the past 10 years with Eddie and can you believe we’ve made it to recapping 2023? LAST year?! Except we barely mention it... we mainly just catch up, talk Thanksgiving traditions and food, invent the term "travel robes" LOL, and you don't want to miss where you can potentially see Eddie TODAY on TV.... and no its not the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (hint: woof woof).

Sadie Robertson Huff and I talk about what it looks like to figure out a next step forward when you feel stuck, Her lifestyle devotional called, The Next Step, released last week and y’all are going to love it!

November 23, 2024 Celebrating 10 Years of That Sounds Fun Podcast with Gratitude and a Recap of the Ryman Show - Episode 940

Today is the official birthday of That Sounds Fun. Ten years ago today, the first episode released. Yes, of course we’ve been celebrating all year, but I couldn’t let the actual day of the start come and go without pausing and giving thanks, for you and with you.
This podcast also opened the door for my first ever show at the Ryman Auditorium- truly a dream come true. Over 2,000 of you were in the room with us, but that’s just a fraction of the friends listening today. So I thought it would be fun to grab our old pal Eddie for a few minutes, who was an integral part of the night, and recap it for you here.

November 18, 2024 Communing with God and Experiencing His Depth in the Midst of Our Aching with Strahan Coleman- Episode 938

Strahan Coleman is a teacher at Practicing the Way, founder of the ministry Commoners Communion, AND he’s an award-winning musician. He lives in New Zealand with his wife and three young boys and in his latest book, Thirsting, Strahan poetically explores how to rediscover and fulfill our deepest desire through communion with God. We talk about how his chronic illness and losing his ability to sing lead him into a deeper friendship and closeness with God, the depths of God being like the dark ocean, the time it takes for a tree to produce fruit, and more. I hope this conversation leaves you thirsting for more of God.

November 11, 2024 Hey Jesus, It's Me with Comedian Ellen Skrmetti- Episode 936

Y’all get ready, because today I get to talk with my friend, Ellen Skrmetti—one of my favorite follows on Instagram. I bet you love her too…she makes those “Hey Jesus, it’s me,” videos…and she’s just as funny in person as she is online.
Her southern humor is just spot on in the bless-your-heart kind of way and I laughed so much during this conversation. We did a real deep dive on how her comedy career got started, church potlucks, the speed of funerals, panty hose, a new sausage ball recipe… and we also got to talk about her brand new book, Hey Jesus, It’s Me. Y’all, hand to heaven, ask my coworkers, I laughed out loud multiple times reading this book. It is so funny and so good.

November 4, 2024 Starring in One Tree Hill, Fleeing a Cult, and Finding Identity in Christ with Bethany Joy Lenz- Episode 935

You may remember Bethany Joy Lenz from One Tree Hill (she was Haley James Scott on the show), but today she is being generous with her story of faith and freedom and identity, as she talks about the journey of finding herself in a cult, the manipulation she experienced, and the empowerment she found to break way from it all. She shares even more of this story and the destruction narcissism can cause in her brand new memoir, Dinner for Vampires, which, y’all, I seriously couldn't put down.

October 28, 2024 Following Jesus In A Secular Age with Phil Manginelli- Episode 933

Learning how to be a person of faith in 2024 seems very challenging and the center of a lot of conversations these days. Today felt like the perfect time to talk to my friend Phil Manginelli about what's going on in the world, in the US, in our faith, and where those all meet. Phil equips churches and organizations teaching internationally on navigating the cultural landscape of a post-Christian world and following Jesus in a secular age, and serves as the Lead Pastor of The Square in Smyrna, GA. I think you all will love this conversation and his new book You Are Not Alone: A Guide To Following Jesus In A Secular Age.

October 24, 2024 How to Better Serve Singles, Finding Contentment, and the Permission to Change Your Mind with Ryan Wekenman- Episode 932

We're going there today! My friend Ryan Wekenman and I talk about how to help our churches and pastors understand how to serve the single people in their church. Ryan’s a pastor at Red Rocks Austin and he’s also the author of Single Today, which came out earlier this year. We also talk about finding contentment and being present in your current season, finding community, and permission to change your mind in big life choices. No matter your season or relationship status, I think you'll find this conversation really helpful.

If you’re single (or know someone who is), our open registration season for Single Purpose League is coming to a close next week (on Oct. 28th), and it won’t open again until the New Year, so make sure you come join us, especially because you’ll get to go through our Advent series, Stay Tuned, together. You can find all the details at singlepurposeleague.com.

There's a resource that I want to give you, too, at anniefdowns.com/pastoringsingles. It's a short PDF that offers some ideas to help your pastor connect with the people who aren’t married in their church.

October 15, 2024 Advent 2024- Stay Tuned!

When the Advent season rolls around every year, the theme that always leads the way is waiting with anticipation. Waiting with excitement because the birth of Christ is near. But sometimes that’s hard because Advent is ANOTHER season of waiting for a lot of us. How do we level up excitement and joy around WAITING when it feels like waiting is our whole year?

That’s why we’ve created Stay Tuned: An Advent Series For Those Already Waiting—a series designed for anyone struggling with unanswered prayers and hope that feels a bit worn out. Whether you’re single or simply navigating a tough season, this Advent, we’ll face the challenges of waiting together and discover the beauty and purpose in the midst of it.

Join us for three weeks of devotionals (available in written form, audio, and video), prayers, and reflection questions on how to wrestle with the waiting, find hope in it all, and celebrate the faithfulness of God as we anticipate the arrival of our King.

For all the Advent details and to purchase this series: https://www.anniefdowns.com/advent

October 10, 2024 Lysa TerKeurst on Broken Trust, Blaming, and How to Move Forward- Episode 927

This is Lysa Terkeurst’s 4th time here on the podcast and she’s that friend to all of us who just isn’t afraid to talk about the real and hard things that she’s walked through and what God’s taught her through it. Her brand new book came out this week… it’s called I Want to Trust You, But I Don’t… so we’re going in on broken trust and what to do with it. After several painful friendship breakups, the death of her marriage and other devastating betrayals, Lysa realized she was caught in a cycle of distrust and this book is the journey to figuring out how to move forward from it.
I have no doubt there’s someone who’s broken your trust before (and maybe even recently), so you’re going to learn a ton from this book and this friend.

October 3, 2024 He's the Best God of My Life with Mack Brock- Episode 925

Today on the show, I get to catch up with one of my favorite dudes, Mack Brock. This is Mack’s third time back with us, but his first time flying solo! He and his wife, Meredith, have been here twice for our couples series in 2019 and 2021. I have no doubt you’re already listening to Mack’s music and probably singing them at church, but don’t even realize he wrote them. Mack was one of the founding members of Elevation Worship, but we get to talk about his brand new full-length album that just released last week called This is Holy. Y’all. The lyrics. The music. The song his daughter got to be a part of. We’re going to talk about all of it.

September 19, 2024 The Anti-Aging Trend is... A Bit Much with Lyndsay Rush- Episode 921

Today on the show, get ready to laugh. My longtime friend Lyndsay Rush is here, but you may know her better from her instagram accounts: rushbomb or maryoliversdrunkcousin. Lyndsay is hysterical and found herself writing poems on social media that eventually turned into a book deal, and this week, Lyndsay’s very first book of published poetry releases called, A Bit Much. We talk about getting older, moving, friendships changing, and the gift poetry gives you to think. Lyndsay and I became friends when she first moved to Nashville (over a decade ago) and it’s been so much fun to see her superpower gift of words and wit turn into a book we can hold and read.

September 13, 2024 AFD in NYC Episode 9: What Have I Done?

A few days ago, I did a question box on my instagram about my dual citizenship between Nashville and New York City, particularly about being in New York since I currently am. One of the questions that was asked was “Have there been any surprising disappointments in this otherwise fun year?”
And while I was able to answer most of the submitted questions on the little one slide of an instagram story, this one deserves a whole episode.
Because yes, while this has been a very fun experience, it has also been very very hard. And disappointing.
If you have thoughts to share, there’s a great place for that on instagram… @thatsoundsfunpodcast. I’d love to hear anything that came up for you in this episode and any suggestions of topics you’d like to hear future episodes about.

Today on the show, we’re talking all things 2020 with our friend, Eddie Kaufholz.

But Annie and Eddie Keep Talking got started in 2020, so you KNOW today we are chopping it up about the weird, sad, and nostalgic days that year. What a wild time.

August 26, 2024 Learning to Unplug with Hannah Brencher- Episode 914

Today we’re talking about something we LOVE to dig into around here: unplugging from all of the noise. My friend Hannah Brencher is joining us and her latest book, The Unplugged Hours, comes out in September so we’re going to talk about how we do all of this well. We even recorded a little bonus conversation just for Single Purpose League to talk about the nuances of being single, but also needing to disconnect and unplug and how to feel safe and secure when we do that. I think you are going to find this convo really helpful!

I loved getting to know Dr. Jackie Greene and what God has been doing in her and through her.

You know I much I always LOVE getting to talk about prayer and fasting!

August 6, 2024 Annie + Katy Talk About Being Single - Episode 908

We originally recorded this episode just for our friends in Single Purpose League, but as soon as we finished, Katy and I knew this one needed to be for everyone. We want to invite you to the conversations we're having with Single Purpose League, because a) a ton of you know and love unmarried people in your life and want to know how to better understand what they're walking through, and b) registration for Single Purpose League is open again and we'd love for you to get this sneak peek into what our conversations are like!

In Single Purpose League, one of our goals is to answer the questions, "What's our single purpose and what's our purpose while single?" We're six months into building this houseboat together, and in this episode, we have a really honest conversation about our purpose. Are we clear on what it is? What's it like to live out our purpose on our own? Does our purpose change if we get married?

Single Purpose League is also open again for new friends to join, so if there's someone you know who you think would benefit from this group, share this episode with them and find out more atÂ singlepurposeleague.com!

August 1, 2024 Unconditional Love with Jonathan Merritt and Dr. James Merritt - Episode 906

Today on the show, youâ€™re in for a good one. Youâ€™ve probably heard me talk about my friend, Jonathan Merritt, and today youâ€™re going to get to know him AND his dad, Dr. James Merritt. These two have a really special relationship as father and son even though they donâ€™t see eye to eye on a lot of things, including sexuality. Today weâ€™re going to talk about their latest books The God Who Hears and My Guncle and Me, and weâ€™re also going to talk about their relationship and how theyâ€™ve navigated their differences. Listen. I want you to lean in hereâ€¦this is a really nuanced conversation, which is hard to do in a public setting. Itâ€™s such an honor that Jonathan and Dr. Merritt would agree to have this conversation with us and the sacredness of this is not lost on me. I have so much to learn from both of them and Iâ€™m grateful for what I learned in this conversation.Â
For parents, we recommend listening first without your kids so you can decide how you want to engage any conversations this episode might bring up.

July 18, 2024 EnneaSummer 2024: Enneagram Head Triad (5s, 6s, 7s) with Ross Slough - Episode 902

Today on the show we get to talk about the Enneagram Head Triad which is made up of enneagram 5s, 6s, and 7s. Our enneagram expert today is my friend,Â Ross Slough, who identifies as an enneagram 5. Youâ€™re going to love him. Our enneagram 6 is represented by my friend, Hannah, and Iâ€™m sharing about my experience as an enneagram 7. What we can learn about ourselves and othersâ€™ types WILL impact our relationships for the better. Thatâ€™s why weâ€™ve loved talking about the enneagram in regards to how it affects us relationally. Itâ€™s been so helpful!

We also have a free download for you that gives you a chance to process through some of the same questions weâ€™re asking our experts and guests in this series. You can find that, as well as a list of other enneagram resources from all of our experts, at anniefdowns.com/enneasummer.

June 27, 2024 Resting Well This Summer with John Eldredge - Episode 898

When we were thinking about who could usher us into our summer sabbath and help us really think aboutÂ resting well, we knew it had to be one of our favorite pastors and leaders, John Eldredge. I'm so grateful for John and the wisdom he always shares as we walk into the next season. We talk a lot about taking care of the condition of our soul, asking God what we need this summer, and what life with God looks like. If you arenâ€™t listening to John's podcast, Wild At Heart, you know I donâ€™t like to â€œshouldâ€ people around here, but you have GOT TO CHECK IT OUT. It is seriously a donâ€™t miss podcast for me and they even have an episode about summer soul care that would be another great one to listen to.
Remember that we won't have any new episodes releasing next week but there are PLENTY of episodes (897 to be exact) that you can go back and listen to. That Sounds Fun will be back on July 8 with one of your favorite series!
As we're resting well, if you're looking for a good summer read, here are a few of my favorite books by John Eldredge.

The Sacred Romance

Get Your Life Back

Beautiful Outlaw

June 17, 2024 Staying In the Racial Justice Conversation with Chuck Mingo & Troy Jackson - Episode 895

Over the years, there have been been so many friends of the show that have graciously helped us navigate real issues in our culture, especially, in our churches. We know racial division is a prevalent issue in the Church and the world today, yet God has promised us a unified future. Chuck Mingo and Troy Jackson are the founders of UNDIVIDED, an organization built to unite and ignite people for racial healing. And today we get to talk about it. In their new book, Living Undivided, Chuck and Troy invite readers to take action in the story of reconciliation that God is writing. Yâ€™all, this book is a really helpful roadmap for reconciliation and healing and I think you're going to find this conversation thought-provoking and beneficial as we celebrate Juneteenth this week.

June 13, 2024 How to Share Your Faith with Willie Robertson - Episode 894

Yâ€™all, Iâ€™m so excited for you to hear this oneâ€¦especially as we head into Fatherâ€™s Day weekend! One of our favorite friends (and Dads!), Willie Robertson is in the studio talking all about sharing your faith, connecting people to the Bible, and why we love Nashville. Although Willie might be best known as a member of the Duck Dynasty, he is most passionate about his role as a Gospeler. Over the years, he has shared the Good News of Jesus with others and he encourages us to do the same in this brand new book, Gospeler. Itâ€™s such a helpful resource as we keep stretching and growing in how we share the gospel and talk about our faith.
I loved how the book of Acts weaved through this entire conversation! Check out our Let's Read the Gospels series about the book of Acts on our Spotify Playlist.

Weâ€™ve made it all the way to 2018, and this conversation had some surprising and hilarious revelations Eddie didn't see coming. Our recap series will be taking a break for the month of June, (helloooo summer sabbath!) but Eddie will be back in July to talk all things 2019 (or 2019 adjacent things...).
Check out our previous recap episodes.

May 20, 2024 The Spiritual and Cultural War on Men with Jon Tyson - Episode 887

Gosh, I loved getting to chat with my friend and one of my favorite pastors, Jon Tyson. I have been really interested in watching how Jon and Jeff Bethke are investing in men and I'm so thankful for the work they are doing. Together, they wrote a fantastic book called Fighting Shadows: Overcoming 7 Lies That Keep Men From Becoming Fully Alive. Jon and I talk about the beautiful encounters we both experience in New York, finishing our lives and ministry on earth well, and how to encourage men to produce Holy ambition and bear the fruit of the Spirit. This is such an important conversation for not only the men in your life, but for all of us!

May 6, 2024 The Book of Revelation with Matt Chandler - Episode 883

Ok, yâ€™all know I loved getting to do a deep dive on the Gospels and the book of Acts in April. Well, weâ€™ve got one more conversation to close out that series (FOR NOW)! Today, weâ€™re talking about the book of Revelation. My friend, Pastor Matt Chandler has a brand new book called The Overcomers that I think you're going to love! The book of Revelation can be overwhelming, intimidating, and honestly even scary at times, but Matt talks about how it's actually a message of encouragement, hope, and motivation. I can't wait for you to hear our conversation about what eternity will look like, being a lukewarm Christian versus being a disciple of Christ walking through a desert, and of course our deep dive into the book of Revelation. Gosh, I love getting curious about the books of the Bible!Â

March 21, 2024 Humility and the Unknown with Dr. Joel Muddamalle - Episode 872

After reading Dr. Joel Muddamalle's new book called The Hidden Peace, I knew we HAD to have him on to talk about the Gospels as we prepare to head into Holy Week.Â He is just so brilliant and I can't wait to hear your thoughts after you listen! We talked about the divine humility of Christ, walking through instead of getting over, and where Jesus went on Holy Saturday. This conversation has me thinking about SO many things as we go into Holy Week!
As a reminder, we wonâ€™t air anything here on That Sounds Fun next week, but weâ€™ll be back with you on Monday, April 1st. We also kick off our Letâ€™s Read the Gospels Guided Journal Book Club that dayâ€¦ so make sure youâ€™re subscribed to Let's Read the Gospels, grab your Guided Journal from your favorite book store, and join the Facebook group.

I've been DYING to have my friend Nicole Renard Warren on the show. You may know her as Nicole the Nomad. She is one of my favorite influencers and makes the most DELISH food!

March 11, 2024 Discernment and Decisions with Emily P. Freeman - Episode 869

You guys I am SO happy I get to talk to my longtime and one of my dearest friends, Emily P. Freeman. Her brand new book releases tomorrow! How to Walk into a Room: The Art of Knowing When to Stay and When to Walk Away. WOOF. This is such an important book and I think you're going to love this conversation. We talk about the different types of endings, connecting with God in your own unique way, and we spent a lot of time processing with Emily our decision to end the Let's Read the Gospels Podcast this year. Making hard decisions is never fun, but I'm so grateful to have a friend like Emily that can help guide us. She's just so brilliant and I think the world of her.Â

March 4, 2024 Believing the Unbelievable with Dr. Nijay K. Gupta - Episode 867

Our friend and one of our favorite theologians around here, Dr. Nijay Gupta, is back! If you're like me and geek out when talking all things Scripture, I think you're really going to love this episode. Not only is Dr. Nijay a professor of New Testament, but heâ€™s also a senior translator for the NLT Bible, the New Living Translation, which weâ€™re using for the month of April on Letâ€™s Read the Gospels. So clearly this is our guy for all our questions! Today we talked about the first Christians being so different from Roman culture, the mystery of God and time, and the reputation problem of Christianity. Dr. Nijay is just so brilliant! Be sure to grab a copy of his newest book, Strange Religion: How the First Christians Were Weird, Dangerous, and Compelling.

February 29, 2024 Annie + Eddie Recap 2015 - Episode 866

Weâ€™re taking things back to 2015 with our good buddy, Eddie Kaufholz. If you missed the news, each month this year, in honor of our 10th Anniversary of That Sounds Fun Podcast, Eddie and I will be reviewing each year the podcast has existed. Weâ€™re going to talk about what happened in the world, the top songs and movies, and what happened in our own livesâ€¦this is going to be an adventure back to all the things we forgot and all the memories that have stuck with us too. Did we actually recap 2015? Not really. Did we have a fun and wacky conversation as Eddie and I always do?? 100%!
Check out our 2014 recap episode.

February 29, 2024 Annie + Eddie Recap 2015

Weâ€™re taking things back to 2015 with our good buddy, Eddie Kaufholz. If you missed the news, each month this year, in honor of our 10th Anniversary of That Sounds Fun Podcast, Eddie and I will be reviewing each year the podcast has existed. Weâ€™re going to talk about what happened in the world, the top songs and movies, and what happened in our own livesâ€¦this is going to be an adventure back to all the things we forgot and all the memories that have stuck with us too. Did we actually recap 2015? Not really. Did we have a fun and wacky conversation as Eddie and I always do?? 100%!
Check out our 2014 recap episode.

February 26, 2024 Friendship & Poetry with Audrey Elledge and Elizabeth Moore - Episode 865

I love getting to have conversations with friends and fellow writers who inspire me. Audrey Elledge and Elizabeth Moore are such a gift! I've loved their book Liturgies for Hope and their brand new book Liturgies for Wholeness is just as beautiful. We talked all about the origin of their friendship, how they ended up in New York, and writing in communion with God. I adore them and I think you're going to love this conversation!

February 22, 2024 Feeling Worthy with Jamie Kern Lima - Episode 864

You know what I LOVE? Getting to talk to my up-close friends on the show! I genuinely could not be more grateful for my dear friend Jamie Kern Lima. Her brand new book, Worthy is so important and so good! This conversation is all about feeling like we're not enough, or feeling stuck, and ultimately, the difference between self-confidence and self-worth. Jamie is one of the most generous and thoughtful people that I know and I could just not be more proud of her.

February 19, 2024 God's Mercy with Savannah Guthrie - Episode 863

Y'all already know my new friend Savannah Guthrie, co-anchor of the TODAY show (umm yes. THAT Savannah Guthrie!!), and now author of her first non-fiction book Mostly What God Does. You guys. I read this book SO FAST. It's SO GOOD! I'm just impressed with her honesty and venerability. Savannah and I sat down in New York and had the best conversation all about her journey with writing this book, seasons in our relationship with God, and talking opening about Jesus in our day-to-day lives. I felt so honored to get to know Savannah and I know y'all are going to love her.

February 15, 2024 Culture, Sex, and Confession with Tim Ross - Episode 862

BUCKLE UP Y'ALL. I think you're going to love this conversation with Tim Ross. We talk about everything! Contentment, sexuality, seeking purpose over understanding, and living a life for Jesus. I really appreciate Tim, the work that he does, and his honesty. His new book Welcome to the Basement is a great read and would make a great gift for a friend! I enjoyed this conversation a ton and I can't wait to have Tim back on the show!
And just a note for those of you that may have miniBFFs listening along, we also get into some conversation regarding singleness, sex, and dating that is probably best for grownup ears and not for miniBFF ears, so just keep that in mind.

February 12, 2024 Lent & Fasting with Dr. Darren Whitehead - Episode 861

As y'all know, I LOVE the Christian calendar! Since we kick off Lent in just two days, I wanted one of my favorite pastors, Dr. Darren Whitehead, to come on the show and teach us about what it looks like to sacrifice, celebrate, and fast during this season. We talk allll about the power of fasting, distraction versus utility, and what it would look like to embrace a digital fast. I think this conversation is so helpful and important! Darren's new book The Digital Fast is an amazing resource for you, your family, and your community. You can find more of Darren's resources at thedigitalfast.com.
Make sure you head over to our Patreon community Single Purpose League (and join in if you haven't yet!) to hear the rest of mine and Darren's conversation about doing a technology fast and creating healthy boundaries with our phones when you're single.

February 8, 2024 Persistent Obedience with Nick Connolly - Episode 860

One of my favorite pastors,Â Nick ConnollyÂ is on the podcast today to teach us the difference between persistence, resilience, and perseverance, how to endure in ministry, and when to say no. Nickâ€™s brand new bookÂ Don't Give Up Just YetÂ is so honest and helpful! Iâ€™m just so grateful for Nick as he teaches us what can happen when we wait for the abundant promises God has for us.

February 1, 2024 Living Missionally with Terry Crist - Episode 858

Are we going to let differences tear us apart or can we love each other through it? WHAT A QUESTION! I'm so grateful for my friend, Pastor Terry Crist, who shares his wisdom and teaches us so well in this conversation. We talk about being called to live in the tension of grace and truth, having courageous conversations without contention, and pursuing humility. Pastor Terry's latest book, Loving Samaritans is another great resource to help set us up well for what's ahead this year!

January 29, 2024 Singleness in the Church with David Platt - Episode 857

Today is an exciting day over here at AFD Inc! Because weâ€™re launching Single Purpose League TODAY (make sure to click the link to find out more!!), we wanted to have a real conversation about being single in the churchâ€¦ becauseâ€¦wellâ€¦ itâ€™s a whole thing. Thereâ€™s a lot of beauty to it, but thereâ€™s also a lot of hurt, misunderstanding, and disappointment, so we invited my long-time friend, Pastor David Platt back on pod, so we could have an honest conversation about how singles can thrive in their church, what conversations we could be having with our pastors and church leaders (and vice versa) and how we help single people not feel invisible. If you're single, be sure to check out Single Purpose League over on Patreon and become a member so you can listen to more of this conversation. Todayâ€™s episode was a WOWIE ZOWIE and Iâ€™m so thankful for Davidâ€™s insight and honesty.

How are we this lucky to have a January full of our favorites?! Michael Wear is back on the pod to walk us through how to prep in prayer for this election year, being involved in politics without making it our identity, and telling us about the greatest kitchen tool ever made (does it have something to do with ravioli?...MAYBE). Michael's newest book, The Spirit of Our Politics is such a good read! So helpful. Be sure to grab a copy for yourself and another for your pastor, spiritual leader, or friend.

John Mark Comer, one of our worldwide favorite guests is back! His newest book, Practicing the Way, is SO GOOD (and like I said...STOUT).

December 11, 2023 The Measurement of Time and God with Matt Maher - Episode 510

Today on the show is a guest y'all have been asking for for a long timeâ€¦Matt Maher! This is such an incredible conversation that I think you're going to love. We talk all about Matt's Catholic faith, the structure of the Church, Advent, and so much more! This is FOR SURE a note-taking episode. I learned so much!! If youâ€™re looking for another Christmas song to add to your playlist, youâ€™ve also got to check out Matt's latest single, Go Tell It (Gloria) which also features Dwan Hill and The Choir Room (three of my favs in one song?? YES PLEASE).

December 7, 2023 Living with Purpose with SuperChef Darnell Ferguson - Episode 509

Y'all. This might be one of my favorite conversations weâ€™ve had all year! SuperChef Darnell FergusonÂ (or Supe now that weâ€™re friends...) is a Food Network favorite of mine and I absolutely loved our conversation. We talked all things Sneaky Jesus, honoring our bodies, and having a purpose bigger than a dollar. Itâ€™s so fun to cheer for someone working in the mainstream public-life world who has such a cool faith story too. If your kids love learning to cook or you love cooking together as a family, SuperChef has a fun new cookbook,Â SuperChef Family CookbookÂ out for those little superchefs in training and this would make such a great gift for my miniBFFs!

December 4, 2023 New York, New York with Ginna Claire, Mary Kate, and Meredith - Episode 508

Today on the show are my New York City besties: Ginna Claire Mason Moffett, Mary Kate Morrissey Blake, and Meredith Toering! We all sat down a few days before I left New York just to recap my two months of living there. Yes, I loved it and yes, I cried. These friends were the catalyst behind me even thinking about moving to New York for a little while so this was so fun (and sad too) to just rehash how it all played out with three of my best friends.

December 1, 2023 AFD in NYC Episode 7: Seize the Day

The time has come. It's the final episode of AFD in NYC and I'm officially headed back to Nashville! Iâ€™m going to go ahead and spoil the ending here: I donâ€™t have a bow to tie on this experience. I donâ€™t have my top ten takeaways. I donâ€™t have big announcements or proclamations. But I do have a story to tell you...
I'd love for you to share your questions or thoughts for more episodes like this with me over on @thatsoundsfunpodcast. See you back here tomorrow on That Sounds Fun Podcast!

November 30, 2023 The Beauty and Complexity of Israel with Kristi McLelland - Episode 507

Oh friends, you know I love when we get to talk about the Gospels and today is one of those days! Kristi McLelland is one of my favorite Bible teachers. Sheâ€™s also an incredible resource when it comes to learning more about Israel. I think you're really going to enjoy this conversation. We chat all about reading the Bible through a Western lens, pursuing a calling while taking care of our family and community, and what's going on in Israel right now. Kristi's newest book Rediscovering Israel is incredible. I've never seen a book that better reflects the experience of Israel and helps you do deeper research into it. I love it SO much and I think you're going to love it too.Â

Anh is also the author of Forever Home which is all about Anh's story and experiencing the abundant life that God designed just for you. It's really beautifully written and I think y'all will really enjoy the read.

November 20, 2023 The Kindness of Jesus with Lisa Harper - Episode 504

I know yâ€™all love my dear friend, Lisa Harper, and CAN YOU BELIEVE she hasnâ€™t been on the show since 2017?! Yâ€™all. We were clearly long overdue to catch up over microphones and talk about my favorite subject. Jesus. What are some of the characteristics of Jesus? Can we love our Bibles TOO much? And does God really call us to contentment? Lisa'sÂ newest devotional: Jesus: A Scandously Devoted, Conspicuously Uncool, Super Transparent Homage to Who Our Savior Is and How Much He Loves Us is beautiful and so inspiring! Did I mention that it would be the perfect gift for someone this Christmas? I'm just saying.

November 16, 2023 Sacred Assumption with Faith Eury Cho - Episode 503

Gosh, this conversation is one of those thought-provoking, note-taking, mind-blown kind of conversations. My friend, Faith Eury Cho, just released her debut book called Experiencing Friendship with God. This book is beautiful and I think you're really going to love getting to know Faith and learn from her. We get to talk about feeling tired in our lives and our walk with Jesus, how to know when the Holy Spirit is growing something within us, and befriending the presence of God. I just adore Faith and I know you're going to love listening to her talk about the Lord and the Holy Spirit (ME TOO)!

November 13, 2023 Stewarding God's Gifts with Natalie Grant - Episode 502

Today on the show I get to talk with my friend Natalie Grant. Yâ€™all LOVE her and so do I! She is no stranger around here and her brand new album, Seasons, is out now and Yâ€™ALL. Have you listened to it yet!?! IT'S SO GOOD! Okay...I could not have loved this conversation more and y'all just aren't even prepared for Natalie's story about Dolly Parton! Not only did we talk about all the amazing collabs that happened on Natalie's new album, we also talked about longevity, our partnership with the Lord, and how to identify soul exhaustion.Â
Can you guess which song from Seasons I added to my AFD's Friday Fav's Spotify Playlist?

November 9, 2023 Living in a Season of Joy with Jana Kramer - Episode 501

Iâ€™m so excited to have my friendÂ Jana KramerÂ here! And yâ€™all. Iâ€™m so proud of the way she shares her story with such honesty and vulnerability in this conversation and in her latest book,Â The Next Chapter. Today weâ€™re talking about what her life has looked like post-divorce, her journey with motherhood, the questions sheâ€™s asking God, and what sheâ€™s learning about freedom and redemption. Because weâ€™re talking about some tender parts of her story, itâ€™s probably best for you to listen to this before any of my miniBFFs do. Jana so graciously opened up about what sheâ€™s walking through when it comes to church, faith, and some of the tough parts of it. I think youâ€™re really going to love the honesty in this episode, and I feel really honored that Jana would invite us into her story this way.

November 8, 2023 AFD in NYC Episode 6: An Essay About My Body

Hereâ€™s what feels true: almost every part of me is thriving in NYC. Thriving. I did not want these two months in New York City to upend my Nashville life, but I think they are going to. I think they have. So what am I supposed to do? I don't know. But I do know that I love to glow.

Brooke Ligertwood is truly one of my very favorite guests and friends, and man, I'm so grateful that she sat down with us to talk about why worship here on earth matters, cultivating an awareness of God's presence, and experiencing spiritual warfare in the midst of ministry.

November 1, 2023 AFD in NYC Episode 5: Savor This

Anticipation is actually one of the gifts of my personality type--I love the days before an awesome thing often as much as I love the thing. But it really works against me in seasons like this. Where I feel the time, the days, the experience, slipping through my fingers. Time moves fast sometimes. Iâ€™m feeling that here. I cannot slow time. But I can savor the minutes, days, weeks, months I have here. Iâ€™m trying.

October 31, 2023 Episode 498: Blurry Creatures with Nate Henry & Luke Rodgers

Y'all. I have NO CHILL about this episode.Â Today on the show I get to talk to my friends Nate Henry and Luke Rodgers who are the hosts of the Blurry Creatures podcast. Their podcast is truly one of my favorites and I've been dying to share it with you guys. Today's conversation is all about how they started the podcast, their experience talking about blurry creatures and spiritual warfare, and of course I HAD to ask them my burning questions about megalodons (you get it...), and about Jesus and the disciples talking about ghosts. It is so.good. Now listen, I know this may not be your thing, but it 100% is what sounds fun to me and I think youâ€™ll find this episode really interesting!Â

Today on the show we finish up our Build Your Board series with Devin and Hunter Cordle. As weâ€™ve talked about making sure youâ€™re choosing who is influencing you in a world of influencers, we couldnâ€™t wrap up this series without talking about social media. When weâ€™re thinking about building our board, what role does social media get to play? It includes a lot of voices, so how do we figure out the right boundaries for social media as well as finding ways to learn from people who both think like us and those who donâ€™t? If youâ€™re not familiar with Hunter & Devin (known as The Cordle Family), go look them up on social media right now because theyâ€™re just a bright spot on my feed! This is such an insightful conversation that I think you're going to love!

October 27, 2023 Do My Relationships Need a Coach? (with Janice & EJ Gaines) - Build Your Board Series

As we wrap up this week, we are coming to a close on our coaching conversations. And gosh, this week has been SO. GOOD. Yâ€™all LOVEDÂ Janice GainesÂ when she was on the pod during ourÂ Summer Lovin' Series. So of course we had to have her back!

October 25, 2023 What Even is a Life Coach? (With Christy Wright) - Build Your Board Series

Y'all. I'm having the BEST time this week talking about all the different kinds of coaching. Today's conversation is with my friend,Â Christy Wright.Â Christy is a certified business coach and personal development expert, and today weâ€™re talking all about life coaching. What does a life coach even do? And how might one be able to benefit us? We talk about life balance and expectations, feeling disconnected from our bodies, and defining goals and seasons (Christy giving us permission to set a goal to have more fun?! Um...DONE!). Christy is just brilliant and I think our conversation is so helpful as we think about whether or not the next right voice we need is a life coach.

One of my best friends,Â Rachel Cruze, is BACK on the show and Iâ€™m just having the best time talking to ALL my friends this week about coaching.

October 24, 2023 How Will a Health Coach Help Me? (With Amanda Tress) - Build Your Board Series

My friend, Amanda Tress (founder and CEO of the FASTer Way to Fat Loss) is here today to help answer the question, "How will a health coach help me?" We also go SO much deeper as we talk about where our spiritual health and physical health meet. To be clear, this is not an episode about going on diet or the size of your body. Thinking about a health coach is thinking about how we can be as healthy as possible for as long as possible so we can continue to do what God has called us to do. When you hear Amanda's story, you'll understand why I think you're going to love this episode.

October 24, 2023 How Will a Health Coach Help Me? (With Amanda Tress) - Build Your Board Series

My friend, Amanda Tress (founder and CEO of the FASTer Way to Fat Loss) is here today to help answer the question, "How will a health coach help me?" We also go SO much deeper as we talk about where our spiritual health and physical health meet. To be clear, this is not an episode about going on diet or the size of your body. Thinking about a health coach is thinking about how we can be as healthy as possible for as long as possible so we can continue to do what God has called us to do. When you hear Amanda's story, you'll understand why I think you're going to love this episode.

October 18, 2023 Episode 497: Seth & Amber Haines About Their Journey With The Deep Down Things

This is one of those conversations that will meet you right where you are no matter what youâ€™re walking through and is an invitation to think truly and critically and kindly about your own story and your own faith. Today's conversation with Seth and Amber Haines fits right in as we're thinking about the voices in our lives, our spiritual growth, and our spiritual leaders. We talked about participating in hope even when you don't feel it, how to disciple kids in the midst of pain caused by the church, and why Catholicism was the next right thing for the Haines family. Seth and Amber's book The Deep Down Things is absolutely beautiful! It made me laugh and cry and ALL THE THINGS! I'm so thankful for the Haines and their honesty about their journey of faith.Â

October 16, 2023 Whose Board Are You On? (With Becca and Harley) - Build Your Board Series

In our last Build Your Board episode,Â you got to hear from my mentor, Nancy, who disciples me, and today you get to hear from Becca, who I disciple and Harley who Becca disciples. Itâ€™s like this little family line of discipleship! Hereâ€™s why we wanted to do thisâ€¦ so many of you guys talk to me about wanting these kinds of relationships in your life, but arenâ€™t sure where to start or what to do.Â We thought itâ€™d be fun to bring on both Becca and Harley, so we can talk about what discipleship practically looks like for all of us. As followers of Jesus, we all have a calling to go and make disciples, so weâ€™re going to break down what that looks like for me and Becca and Harley. I feel so honored to be in this stack of women and am grateful for each of them!

October 13, 2023 Episode 496: Micah E. Davis on Living a Life of Integrity

Y'all KNOW we love a Friday show around here!! Having my dear friend, Micah E. Davis, here talking about being a part of a city you love, serving at your local church, and navigating wounds and scars when it comes to church and family, really means the world. Talking about the next generation and celebrating their bold faith is one of the things I love to do the most! I am so thankful for my friends like Micah who are living a life of obedience to what God has called them to do. Make sure you grab a copy of Micah's book Trailblazers (and get all those pre-order bonuses!!) - I think you're really going to love it.Â

We're continuing our Build Your Board Series with today's episode all about counseling! I'm honored to have Melanie Rogers from Come Alive Counseling with us as we talk about how to know if we need a counselor, what a spiritual director is, and what to do if counseling doesn't fit within our budget.

September 25, 2023 Episode 494: Dr. Scot McKnight on When You Feel Like Your Church Is Falling Apart

Today, I have the honor of getting to talk with Dr. Scot McKnight. I know talking about the church falling apart does NOT sound fun...but it's such a needed conversation right now. So many of us have been or are currently in a complicated spot with a church. Dr. McKnight teaches us about hope, pain, and leadership. Y'all know I also LOVE a good Gospel conversation and this does not disappoint! I think you're really going to love learning from him. His latest bookâ€”co-written with Laura Barringerâ€”called Pivot, which is such an important read if youâ€™re a pastor or church leader or a business leader. It is a helpful, hard, beautiful book.
We begin the conversation talking a good bit about church hurt and if this is a part of your story, this episode may be tender to you. I wanted you to know beforehand so you can take care of your heart.

September 18, 2023 Episode 491: Dr. Anita Phillips on Why We Feel the Way We Feel About How We Feel

Y'all are in for a TREAT! This is a special and vulnerable conversation with Dr. Anita Phillips. She is so wise and honest and I loved our conversation about how emotions reveal what we need, the importance of loving our bodies, and what to do with heart pain. I know, I know...I probably should thank you for participating in my counseling session...Dr. Anita's book The Garden Within is extraordinary. Truly. Her book goes so much deeper than what we had time for in this episode and I'm telling you...this is the book you need in your life. If you want more of Dr. Anita's voice in your life (I know I do!) be sure to check out her podcast In the Light with Dr. Anita Phillips.

September 15, 2023 Episode 490: Matt Redman on the Truth and Sacred Mystery of Worship Music

Yâ€™all. This one. Such a special conversation with my friend Matt Redman. I definitely cried at the end while I thanked him for years of music that have so deeply impacted me. We talk all about how to stir up mystery and reverence during our worship, the difference of Christianity between Western and Eastern cultures, and OF COURSE we talked about Mattâ€™s latest album, Lamb of God, (which is just extraordinary). If you havenâ€™t heard this album yet, youâ€™re going to love it. And gosh, I wish we could have chatted for 3 more hours! Iâ€™m so grateful for Matt and the impact he has had in my life and in the world.

September 14, 2023 Episode 489: Madi Prewett Troutt on Choosing Purity and Pursing Holiness

Today on the show, I get to talk with my friend Madison Prewett Troutt. Her new book, The Love Everybody Wants is an empowering message about where we go to find love. I'm really enjoying opening up these conversations after our Summer Lovin' Series around dating and sex, and what that looks like right now. We also got to talk about God's peace and coming into relationships out of an abundance rather than scarcity. I'm so grateful to Madi for sharing her story with us!

Oh friends. This is your friendly heads up that this is a MAJOR note-taking episode! The brilliant Dr. Alicia Britt Chole teaches us about the night originating before sin in Eden, what the Gospel says about our capacity, and how to do grace well. It's also a very special conversation about the Gospels that I know you're going to love. Make sure to grab a copy of Dr. Chole's latest book, The Night is Normal.

I get HYPED to talk to my friends who are seminary professors or are people who talk about prayer...they're basically like my version of a Kardashian...so basically, y'all are in for a TREAT with this conversation.

And I can't wait to have him back with us to do a deeper dive on the Gospels!

Y'all get ready...I got to sit down with my dear friend, Bianca Juarez Olthoff and we get LOUD and have a LOT of words to say! Bianca is an amazing Bible teacher and writer and I can't wait for you all to hear this conversation. We talk about her experience starting a church plant as a female lead communicator, what makes resilience and grit different for Christians, and how to determine God's voice over our own. Bianca's newest book, Grit Don't Quit, is such a gift! I'm so thankful for Bianca and her friendship.

August 21, 2023 Episode 482: Sissy Goff Tells Us The Best Thing Parents Can Do For Their Kids

Any day I get to hug Sissy Goff is a great day! She's one of your favorites (and mine too). Sissy is one of the most trusted voices when it comes to parenting and raising kids. Today, we talk about identifying and rewiring anxiety in us and our parent friends. I think this is SUCH a helpful conversation if you are a parent, an aunt or uncle, a babysitter, a friend, or just anybody that loves a miniBFF. Sissy's newest book, The Worry-Free Parent is incredibly helpful. What a gift Sissy is to us all!

August 17, 2023 Episode 481: Dr. Russell Moore with an Important Challenge to the Church

It's always an honor when Dr. Russell Moore joins us on the podcast! And GOOD GRAVY this conversation...Dr. Moore teaches us what it looks like to be an Evangelical Christian today, how nostalgia impacts our view of the Church, and postures we can start taking now ahead of the political election season. I'm always so appreciative of Dr. Moore's wise voice of reason and his ability to speak truth. I think you're going to learn a lot from this conversation and his latest book, Losing Our Religion. Gosh, I'm so grateful.

August 14, 2023 Episode 480: Hosanna Wong on the Rhythms of Jesus: Scripture, Prayer, Sabbath, and Community

Y'all. Get READY for this conversation. It's 100% a note-taking episode! My friend, Hosanna Wong is in the studio talking about what God calls you to do in different seasons, finding your identity and abiding in Christ, and what the rhythms of Jesus looked like. Go grab a copy of Hosanna's new book You Are More Than You've Been Told. I've never read anything like it. It's so unique, helpful, and is shaping how I move forward with my spiritual disciplines.
I loved our conversation on consecration! Here is the sermon from Jon Tyson we mentioned: We Want You Here: The Power of Consecration.

Ya'll. This conversation is a special one.

August 3, 2023 Episode 477: Granger Smith on Country Music, Ministry, and How Loss Changes Your Whole Life

This week marks one year since we lost my nephew, TJ, so it is not lost on me Godâ€™s timing to remind me, and all of us, of what He can do with grief and loss. You are going to love getting to know country-music star Granger Smith and his story. Itâ€™s a story none of us want, but are often faced with. And Grangerâ€™s story felt like the exact right one for this week. This conversation is emotional and heavy at times, but itâ€™s also hope-filled a reminder of what God can do with our grief. What Heâ€™s capable of restoring and redeeming. His book Like a River is a beautiful resource. It's not easy to talk about loss and I'm so grateful for Granger.
Just a heads-up, if your #miniBFF is listening along, this may be one you want to hear before you invite them into the conversation.Â

Today on this TSF Hall of Fun episode, you get to hear my conversation from Episode 286 with Francis Chan.

He is just so wise and I learned new things even listening back to this 2 years later.

We're continuing the TSF Hall of Fun series where weâ€™re bringing back some of our favorite episodes from over the years for you to hear! Today on the show is CAIN from Episode 351.

July 13, 2023 TSF Hall of Fun: Christine Dâ€™Clario from 2020

Today on this TSF Hall of Fun episode, you get to hear my conversation from Episode 260 with Christine Dâ€™Clario. I love how Christine loves God and worship, and how she talks about both in this episode. We talk all about spiritual disciplines like prayer and fasting, and her journey with God. And this one was definitely a note-taking episode for sure. This conversation is really special to me, and I canâ€™t wait to hear what you get out of it.
If you have struggled with infertility, or if you are just waiting for God to do the thing you REALLY want Him to do, this one is for you. We also talk some about depression and suicide. These topics may be tender to you, so I wanted you to know before you listened so you could care for yourself and your #minibffs well.

July 10, 2023 TSF Hall of Fun: Kevin Queen from 2017

Today we are kicking off a brand new series called TSF Hall of Fun where weâ€™re bringing back some of our favorite episodes from over the years for you to hear! On this premier TSF Hall of Fun episode, you get to hear my first podcast episode with the Pastor of the Pod, Kevin Queen from Episode 48.Â This one is so special to me and still to this day makes me emotional just thinking about it. At the time, Kevin was the brand new pastor at my church, Cross Point Church, and he tells the story of how he got to Nashville and Cross Point and it is legitimately miraculous. This story just speaks to Godâ€™s kindness, provision, and plan. Itâ€™s pretty incredible and I think you're going to love it.

June 16, 2023 Episode 475: Charles and Cassie Kelley on the Journey to Sobriety, the Power of Connection, and Combatting Shame

Today is such a special show as we look towards Father's Day weekend. I get to sit down and talk to my friends Charles and Cassie Kelley. You all know Charles from the AMAZING country trio, Lady A. Charles has recently been on a journey to sobriety and he and Cassie were kind enough to share their story. I so appreciate Charles' honesty and transparency and Cassie's strength and generosity in this conversation. Whether Fatherâ€™s Day brings about a ton of joy for you or it brings up some pain, I hope this conversation gives you a glimpse of what redemption, grace, and healing can do. Be sure to check out Charles' break-up song with alcohol As Far As You Could, it will blow you away!
(And FYI we jump into a pretty deep conversation about addiction. This topic may be tender to you, so I wanted you to know before you listened so you could care for yourself well. And, for our #miniBFFs, you may what to listen to this conversation before their little ears do.)
If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, reach out to Alcoholics Anonymous for support.
Listen to my conversation with Lady A out on the That Sounds Fun Podcast Tour.

June 15, 2023 Summer Lovin': Sex + Dating with Kait & JJ Tomlin

Today on the show is a thoughtful conversation around sex and dating with Kait and JJ Tomlin, hosts of The Heart of Dating Podcast. Navigating sexual desire and healthy boundaries when you are a single person of faith can be really challenging. It's also a really important part of being a human. We tackle some of your most asked questions like, how far is too far, is sex still just for marriage in 2023, and how do we handle shame for what we've done and/or what we haven't done? So many of us feel pain, shame, worry, frustration, and disconnect when it comes to our sexual lives. Our deepest hope is that today's episode will bring you hope and will start a conversation between you and your close people about how you are navigating your sexual life.
Be kind to yourself as you are listening. And, for our #miniBFFs, this show may be a bit grown-up for their little ears.

I've been wanting to sit down and chat with Pastor Kyle Idleman for a while now and I'm so glad we finally got the chance!

May 15, 2023 Episode 470: Shane Claiborne on What Drives Us, What Love Requires of Us, and Our Mutual Affection for Dolly Parton

Oh friends, today's show is a good one. Shane Claiborne is a champion for grace and I am PUMPED to get to chat with him on what it looks like to be driven by love and concerned about life, what love requires of us when it comes to violence and hot-button political topics, and what it looks like to be a champion for life without exceptions. Shane's newest book Rethinking Life is incredibly moving and timely. I'm so grateful for a friend like Shane who makes space for conversations like this...chances to keep thinking and learning and growing together.
Due to the nature of the topics we cover in this episode (gun violence, sexual abuse, abortion, etc.), this conversation may be tender to you so I wanted you to know before you listened so you could care for yourself and your heart well. And, for our #miniBFFs, this show may be a bit grown-up for their little ears.

May 14, 2023 Episode 469: Motherâ€™s Day with Dr. Nijay Gupta on What Can We Learn about the Relationship Between Mary and Jesus as Her Son and as Her Savior

A SUNDAY drop in episode?! OK MA'AM! First of all, happy Mother's Day to all the moms and mothering voices out there who mean so much to us and our miniBFFs! I'm incredibly grateful for the women around me who are mothering in SO many ways. We recently got to talk to our friend, Dr. Nijay Gupta back on Episode 464 (be sure to go back and listen if you haven't heard it yet!). And since we talked about women all throughout the Bible, we wanted to save our conversation about Mary, the mother of Jesus for TODAY! I can't say this enough, but I highly recommend Dr. Gupta's book Tell Her Story. I learned SO much from it!

This episode has our entire staff buzzing with thoughtful conversation! Dr. Nijay Gupta is here to talk with us about studying Scripture on complex issues, the importance of Deborah's leadership and Phoebe's role in spreading the Gospel, and the purposeful diversity in Jesus' parables. Ya'll...this is a FASCINATING conversation. I can't wait for you to get to know Nijay and hear his wisdom. Nijay's book Tell Her Story is incredible and so important!Â
Just a reminder that even though this topic may feel new to you or you may disagree with some of the ideas in this conversation, I invite all of us (myself included!) to engage with curiosity and openness as we learn and grow together.

I can't wait for you to hear this episode. My new friend Jasmine Holmes is in the studio to talk all about what exactly shame is and the Gospel antidote for it.

April 10, 2023 Episode 458: Pastor Mark Batterson on the Power of Words, How to Lead with Gratitude, and the Theology of Fun

He's one of our favorite's around here! Pastor Mark Batterson is here to talk with us about thinking of our words as giving gifts, the importance of being involved in a local church, and when God incubates a dream for many years. Also, how about that theme of confession we've been having lately?! I'm so grateful for Pastor Mark and his voice in our lives. Be sure to check out his new book Please, Sorry, Thanks: The Three Words That Change Everything.

March 30, 2023 Episode 457: Charles Martin and Pastor Joby Martin on Responding to the Miraculous, Prayer, and Jesus' Death and Resurrection

Our dear friend,Â Charles MartinÂ is back on the pod with his pastor and friend (but no relation),Â Joby Martin.Â We talked about God not answering prayers in the way that we want Him to, what was going on in Judas' mind/heart during Holy Week, and their new bookÂ Anything Is Possible: How Nine Miracles of Jesus Reveal Godâ€™s Love for You. Also, be sure to check out Charles' new book Son of Man. You know I can't resist a chance to talk about miracles and how well Jesus loves!
Please note that this conversation was recorded just hours after the recent tragic mass shooting at a Nashville school. We do talk about this tragedy throughout the show, so I wanted to let you know beforehand, in case your heart is tender towards this right now (as is all of ours). We are praying for our friends, family, and community to be able to have space to grieve together and care for one another.
As a reminder, That Sounds Fun will not release any new episodes during Holy Week next week. We'll see you back here after Easter!
