That Sounds Fun with Annie F. Downs

You guys! I am so excited to share this conversation with my new friends, Pastor Glenn and Holly Packiam. We get to talk about celebrating the good from our last season, getting in touch with what God’s calling us to right now, and practicing rhythms of prayer, rest, renewal, relationships, and work. I think you’re going to love them and really benefit from their wisdom and experience. Be sure to check out their book, The Intentional Year, as you are thinking about your new rhythms for 2023.. . . .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.
