- 906How to Share Your Faith with Willie Robertson - Episode 894Y’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!

- 907Staying In the Racial Justice Conversation with Chuck Mingo & Troy Jackson - Episode 895Over 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.

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.

- 910Resting Well This Summer with John Eldredge - Episode 898When 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.

- 911EnneaSummer 2024Friends…EnneaSummer is BACK!!! We’re kicking off EnneaSummer 2024 talking about the enneagram triads AND relationships. In this series, we get to hear from people who identify with each Enneagram number…these are some my friends who are sharing their personal experiences as the enneagram type they identify as, and in every episode, an Enneagram expert sits down with us as well to give us incredible insight on the three triads: the Gut Triad (which are 8s, 9,s and 1s), the Heart Triad (2s, 3s, and 4s) and the Head Triad (5s, 6s, and 7s). Then we talk about how understanding all of this can help us have healthier relationships. It’s so fascinating! Make sure you’re subscribed to That Sounds Fun so you don’t miss an episode, and head to anniefdowns.com/enneasummer to grab a free resource we’ve created to help you take notes and process through this series as you go.

- 912EnneaSummer 2024: Enneagram Triads + Relationships with Ashton Whitmoyer-Ober - Episode 899EnneaSummer is BACK and this year, we’re talking about the triads and relationships. And if you’re already like…”what are the triads?” Don’t worry. We’re going to talk ALL about it today. Ashton Whitmoyer-Ober (you may know her as @enneagramashton) is going to help us lay the foundation for this series before we bring on our friends to talk about their numbers and experiences. If you loved this conversation, I think you'll love Ashton's book The Enneagram for Relationships. It's such a great resource! We also have a free download for you that gives you a chance to process through some of the same questions we’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.
