That Sounds Fun with Annie F. Downs That Sounds Fun Network

Today we kick off a special series called Build Your Board where we want to help you find the voices you need to live the life you want…because in a world of influencers, you get to decide who is influencing you. I am so honored to have Al Andrews with me today talking all about loneliness. We knew before we started talking about the voices you need in your life, we wanted to get to the root of it all…loneliness. I think you’re going to love him and the wisdom he brings.

For a full list of all the resources from our Build Your Board experts go to anniefdowns.com/buildyourboard.

Be sure to grab your copy of our Build Your Board Guidebook for this series. There are pages to take notes for every episode and questions to walk through and process, so that by the end of the series, you will have a completed resource AND the answer to the question- who is the NEXT voice I need to help me build the life that I want?

Can I just be Annie on a Sunday every now and then? This feels like friend talk anyways.

I can't believe I'm leaving for New York City in just four short days. I've been thinking a lot lately about leaving home and how loud FOMO can get. So what do you do when you don't want to do the thing you want to do?If you missed the story of why I'm moving to New York for a couple months, be sure to listen to Episode 1 of AFD in NYC.

I'd love for you to share your questions or thoughts for more episodes like this with me over on @thatsoundsfunpodcast. See you back here tomorrow for a really fun Monday episode on That Sounds Fun as we start the Build Your Board Series!

This is a fun one, y'all! Yours and my favorite Food Network Star, Aarti Sequeira is back to talk all about how her faith impacts her professional life, aging publicly, and staying true to who she is. I am SO excited that Aarti is back on the pod! Her new devotional cookbook, Unwind, is out now. Y'all. This book. It's amazing! I just love this whole idea. My soul felt so full after talking to Aarti and I know yours will too.

Have you considered having a “Board of Directors” for your life? The community you surround yourself with helps you grow as a person and grow in your relationship with God. And we want to help you figure out who you need right now and how to find them.

For the month of October, we’re hosting Build Your Board, a That Sounds Fun podcast series to help you find the voices you need for the life you want. We’re going to talk about finding friends as an adult, why counselors matter so much, how to find a mentor, why discipleship doesn’t have to be intimidating, and So. Much. More.

Today, I have the honor of getting to talk with Dr. Scot McKnight. I know talking about the church falling apart does NOT sound fun...but it's such a needed conversation right now. So many of us have been or are currently in a complicated spot with a church. Dr. McKnight teaches us about hope, pain, and leadership. Y'all know I also LOVE a good Gospel conversation and this does not disappoint! I think you're really going to love learning from him. His latest book—co-written with Laura Barringer—called Pivot, which is such an important read if you’re a pastor or church leader or a business leader. It is a helpful, hard, beautiful book.

We begin the conversation talking a good bit about church hurt and if this is a part of your story, this episode may be tender to you. I wanted you to know beforehand so you can take care of your heart.
