That Sounds Fun with Annie F. Downs

One of my favorite worship leaders, Davy Flowers, is on the podcast today and I couldn't be happier! We sat down together and chatted about being all in with Jesus, calling Him friend, and memorizing scripture. Y'all. Davy sang a little for us (TWICE!) and I was beside myself with happy. Her first full length album I Was Loved is absolutely beautiful and made me straight up sob. GAH! It's so good!. . . . Go to hereforyoutour.com to get your tickets to our upcoming tour this June!Want to gift a ticket to a friend?

I just love Ann Voskamp. She's a dear friend, the kindest voice, and she teaches us to be brave! We talked about the sovereignty of God, what a day of rest looks like for us, and communion with other people. Also...you know it wouldn't be a proper conversation with Ann if it didn't include chatting about farm life and what books we're both currently reading! Ann's first children's book, Your Brave Song, is so special. And what a great Valentine's Day gift for the miniBFFs in your life!(Also, be sure to listen all the way through to the end of this episode when one of you had a very fun surprise for me!

I'm so happy that I got to talk with my friend, Jennifer Rothschild, about her new Bible Study, Amos: An Invitation to the Good Life. Jennifer carries such wisdom and I cherish her friendship. We got to chat all about the Bible (let's GO minor prophets!), what she learned from studying the book of Amos, and the freedom that follows injustice and forgiveness.

We get to talk all about our favorite podcasts we listen to, the sports we love, and building spiritual muscles.

This one is about to get up in your business. Mike Donehey, one of my favorite artists, authors, and one of my downright favorite humans, comes on the show and BRINGS THE WORD over and over. Chatting with Mike about forgiveness, peacemaking, and the name of Jesus...gracious this one is gold from start to finish (and speaking of finish... the last 10 minutes of this episode really went off the rails when we all learn about Mike's incredible hidden skill/party trick).

I am honored to have my friend, Toni Collier, join us for a conversation about pressing into healing. Toni and I always have such a fun (and loud) time together and this conversation is no different! We chat about the balance between our writing process and healing, divorce, counseling, and the importance of having a diverse community of friendship that surrounds you. Toni's organization, Broken Crayons Still Color is doing some important work and I know you're going to love her new book, Brave Enough to Be Broken. And just a note that this would be a good one to listen through before any miniBFFs are within earshot.. . . . Go to hereforyoutour.com and use the code FUN to get your tickets to our upcoming tour this June!. . . .Find more fun things on this episode by going to anniefdowns.com/thatsoundsfun.. . . .Subscribe to Let's Read the Gospels with Annie F.
