That Sounds Fun: The Seasons - Coming in 2025!

There’s something really profound to be said about the changing of a season—winter, spring, summer, fall—but even more so—there’s something profound about actually realizing which season you’re in emotionally, physically, and spiritually. To pay attention to your season raises some important questions... Where is the hope in the winter? What’s blooming in and around us in the spring? What kind of fun are we chasing in the summer? And what’s being harvested in the fall? These are the themes that will be the center of the That Sounds Fun Podcast in 2025. We’re going to spend the entire year talking about the spiritual impact of all four seasons in our lives. We’ll use questions about the seasons we find ourselves in as guides for the conversations on the podcast and we’ll also have some episodes that are just me processing with you. We’ve created a TSF Seasons Guidebook as a companion to walk through this year with you. It includes space for you to take notes and capture your reflections on the podcast episodes, some fun activities and recipes to try, scripture to reflect on, and journal prompts to respond to. We’ll deliver additional pages at the beginning of each season so that, by the end of the year as we’ve walked through all four seasons together, we’ll be able to look back at all God has taught us and what we’ve seen Him do for us, in us, with us. We are really looking forward to this year and hope you'll join us. Find the guidebook here: www.anniefdowns.com/seasons . . . . . Want to watch this trailer on YouTube?

Catching Whimsy, Curiosity, and Giraffes with Bob Goff - Episode 944

Today on the show, I get to talk with the king of whimsy himself, Bob Goff. This is his third time back to That Sounds Fun and he’s always a good friend to us and a really wise voice we can learn from. His new book Catching Whimsy is a 365 day devotional challenging us to intentionally live a life full of kindness and wonder and, of course, some whimsy too. He shares stories of visiting prisons in a Santa Claus suit, building a giraffe habitat, and encourages us to get curious about other people. I think you'll really like this one. . . . . .

Advent Makes Space for our Grief, but Christmas Makes Space for our Joy with Lanier Ivester- Episode 943

Today on the show, I get to talk with my long-time friend Lanier Ivester. I’ve known her for 30 years and I don’t think I’ve talked publicly much about my grandmother’s book store, but Lanier worked there growing up, so this conversation was so sacred to me—to relive some of those memories, to get to talk about my grandmother AND THEN get to talk about the Advent & Christmastide season, which y’all know is sacred to me too. Lanier’s very first book, Glad and Golden Hours: A Companion for Advent and Christmastide, is out now and it's so good. She has walked through great grief in infertility, losing her parents, and a house fire. I think you’re really going to love getting to know her story and her heart. We also recorded a little bonus for Single Purpose League too. . . . . Find the show notes here! Want to watch this episode on YouTube?

Somebody Amazing

I love this podcast, I pop it in while cooking dinner and it gives me happy feelings + the dose of Jesus that I need. My daughter always says, “are you listening to Thaaat Sooounds Fuuuuun?” (she sings the tune 🥰) thank you Annie! Your voice is such a happy part of my day and your heart to serve us is beautiful!
Feels Like Home

This podcast is a safe space to explore the fun, amazing, and not-always-easy aspects of life and faith in Jesus. Annie, her guests, and their conversations provide encouraging, challenging, and genuine biblical truths and perspectives. Whether you want to laugh, cry, or both at the same time, this is the podcast for you. Thankful for Annie’s (and her team’s) “yes” to show up here every week to love us, teach us, and walk with us through this crazy thing called life. Listen now!
Literally the best!!
