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 about 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 aren’t listening to John's podcast, Wild At Heart, you know I don’t like to “should” people around here, but you have GOT TO CHECK IT OUT. It is seriously a don’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.

Y’all, I’m so excited for you to hear this one…especially as we head into Father’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. It’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!
