    Annie + Eddie Recap This Summer & 2019 - Episode 904

    Annie + Eddie Recap This Summer & 2019 - Episode 904

    We’re so glad y'all love these episodes with Eddie as much as we do! If you’re new around here, our friend Eddie Kaufholz has been joining us every month (well except June) as we’re recapping the last 10 years of pop culture and our lives in honor of the 10 year anniversary of That Sounds Fun podcast. We’ve now made it all the way to 2019 and as always, we spent about 8 minutes recapping 2019 and 45 minutes just chatting LIKE.WE.DO. You get it. Is Eddie really a spy? Did I almost get eaten by a mountain lion? And of course we HAD to talk about the upcoming Olympics.

    The Sermon on the Mount with Rich Villodas - Episode 903

    The Sermon on the Mount with Rich Villodas - Episode 903

    What a summer we are having on the pod! Y'all KNOW we love talking about the Gospels! Which is why I was so excited to talk to my friend, Rich Villodas, about his latest book, The Narrow Path, which is all about the Sermon on the Mount. I absolutely loved this book and I think you'll love it too. The work Rich does around the Gospels is such a gift! We also had some great conversations around why truthfulness matters, what it looks like to follow Jesus, and living in a post Christian city. Get your notebooks and note apps out because this is note taking episode!

    Today on the show we get to talk about the Enneagram Head Triad which is made up of enneagram 5s, 6s, and 7s. Our enneagram expert today is my friend, Ross Slough, who identifies as an enneagram 5. You’re going to love him. Our enneagram 6 is represented by my friend, Hannah, and I’m sharing about my experience as an enneagram 7. What we can learn about ourselves and others’ types WILL impact our relationships for the better. That’s why we’ve loved talking about the enneagram in regards to how it affects us relationally. It’s been so helpful!

    EnneaSummer 2024: Enneagram Triads + Relationships with Ashton Whitmoyer-Ober - Episode 899

    EnneaSummer 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!
