Living with Purpose with SuperChef Darnell Ferguson - Episode 509
Y'all. This might be one of my favorite conversations we’ve had all year! SuperChef Darnell Ferguson (or Supe now that we’re friends...) is a Food Network favorite of mine and I absolutely loved our conversation. We talked all things Sneaky Jesus, honoring our bodies, and having a purpose bigger than a dollar. It’s so fun to cheer for someone working in the mainstream public-life world who has such a cool faith story too. If your kids love learning to cook or you love cooking together as a family, SuperChef has a fun new cookbook, SuperChef Family Cookbook out for those little superchefs in training and this would make such a great gift for my miniBFFs!

New York, New York with Ginna Claire, Mary Kate, and Meredith - Episode 508
Today on the show are my New York City besties: Ginna Claire Mason Moffett, Mary Kate Morrissey Blake, and Meredith Toering! We all sat down a few days before I left New York just to recap my two months of living there. Yes, I loved it and yes, I cried. These friends were the catalyst behind me even thinking about moving to New York for a little while so this was so fun (and sad too) to just rehash how it all played out with three of my best friends.

AFD in NYC Episode 7: Seize the Day
The time has come. It's the final episode of AFD in NYC and I'm officially headed back to Nashville! I’m going to go ahead and spoil the ending here: I don’t have a bow to tie on this experience. I don’t have my top ten takeaways. I don’t have big announcements or proclamations. But I do have a story to tell you...
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 on That Sounds Fun Podcast!

The Beauty and Complexity of Israel with Kristi McLelland - Episode 507
Oh friends, you know I love when we get to talk about the Gospels and today is one of those days! Kristi McLelland is one of my favorite Bible teachers. She’s also an incredible resource when it comes to learning more about Israel. I think you're really going to enjoy this conversation. We chat all about reading the Bible through a Western lens, pursuing a calling while taking care of our family and community, and what's going on in Israel right now. Kristi's newest book Rediscovering Israel is incredible. I've never seen a book that better reflects the experience of Israel and helps you do deeper research into it. I love it SO much and I think you're going to love it too.

Customer Reviews
Devin and Hunter Cordle episode
Hi Annie!!!
1) I love your podcast and how you are shining your light for Jesus through your guests and attitude—I just love you!!
2) I LOVE that you had Hunter and Devin on your podcast—they’re my favorite influencers to watch and they just love Jesus so much and are inspiring many people and it’s beautiful to watch.
I hope in the future maybe they can be added to the That Sounds Fun network of podcasts 😉😉😉
Life changing question!
I love that question- how can I pray for you today!!!? I’m going to use it with all my loved ones! Thank you!
Jana Kramer
I’m not willing to give a lower review since I love this podcast overall, but Annie, this episode was very confusing for me to listen to. On one hand, when Jana asked, you said God has a very specific reason for sex in marriage, so thank you for that. But you go on to condone the life that she’s living in sin. God gives good gifts like a baby in spite of our sin. But it’s never his will for us to sin. I’m worried how listeners will receive this who are on the fence about having sex outside of marriage. I think the best thing would’ve been to befriend Jana and have this conversation just the two of you and not have a conversation on your podcast about this topic that could lead people into sin. What would’ve won me over would’ve been you saying something in the intro or outtro about not condoning sin, though you love Jana. I’m disappointed.
