    Humility and the Unknown with Dr. Joel Muddamalle - Episode 872

    Humility and the Unknown with Dr. Joel Muddamalle - Episode 872

    After reading Dr. Joel Muddamalle's new book called The Hidden Peace, I knew we HAD to have him on to talk about the Gospels as we prepare to head into Holy Week.  He is just so brilliant and I can't wait to hear your thoughts after you listen! We talked about the divine humility of Christ, walking through instead of getting over, and where Jesus went on Holy Saturday. This conversation has me thinking about SO many things as we go into Holy Week!

    As a reminder, we won’t air anything here on That Sounds Fun next week, but we’ll be back with you on Monday, April 1st. We also kick off our Let’s Read the Gospels Guided Journal Book Club that day… so make sure you’re subscribed to Let's Read the Gospels, grab your Guided Journal from your favorite book store, and join the Facebook group.

    Next Level Chef with Nicole Renard - Episode 870

    Next Level Chef with Nicole Renard - Episode 870

    I've been DYING to have my friend Nicole Renard Warren on the show. You may know her as Nicole the Nomad. She is one of my favorite influencers and makes the most DELISH food! Nicole is currently competing on FOX’s hit show “Next Level Chef” (with Gordon Ramsay) and is quickly becoming a fan favorite. DUH. I can't wait for y'all to hear our conversation about her experience on the show, saying yes until God closes the door, and what to do when God answers your prayer. If you're looking for a show to binge this weekend, you have to check out Next Level Chef! It's such a fun show!

    Watch Nicole and I make a "Chase the Fun" themed smoothie bowl.

    Discernment and Decisions with Emily P. Freeman - Episode 869

    Discernment and Decisions with Emily P. Freeman - Episode 869

    You guys I am SO happy I get to talk to my longtime and one of my dearest friends, Emily P. Freeman. Her brand new book releases tomorrow! How to Walk into a Room: The Art of Knowing When to Stay and When to Walk Away. WOOF. This is such an important book and I think you're going to love this conversation. We talk about the different types of endings, connecting with God in your own unique way, and we spent a lot of time processing with Emily our decision to end the Let's Read the Gospels Podcast this year. Making hard decisions is never fun, but I'm so grateful to have a friend like Emily that can help guide us. She's just so brilliant and I think the world of her.

Big AFD fan!

I’ve been listening to this podcast since 2019. Annie is fun and thoughtful as she interviews her guests. Each week I’m encouraged by her questions and her guests responses. She’s always pointing me towards Jesus. I’d highly recommend this show!
