That Sounds Fun with Annie F. Downs

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). Make sure you grab a copy of his new book Grace in the Gray!. . . . Go to hereforyoutour.com 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.

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.

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.
