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.

New York, New York with Ginna Claire, Mary Kate, and Meredith - Episode 508

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!

AFD in NYC Episode 7: Seize the Day

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.

Cultivating Faithfulness with Chris Brown from Elevation Worship - Episode 506

Y’all, you’re going to love my new friend, Anh Lin! I need you to head over to her social media and go see her beautiful DIY styling and design videos. They are so fun!

Anh is also the author of Forever Home which is all about Anh's story and experiencing the abundant life that God designed just for you.

Building A Home that Heals You with Anh Lin - Episode 505

I know y’all love my dear friend, Lisa Harper, and CAN YOU BELIEVE she hasn’t been on the show since 2017?! Y’all. We were clearly long overdue to catch up over microphones and talk about my favorite subject. Jesus. What are some of the characteristics of Jesus? Can we love our Bibles TOO much? And does God really call us to contentment? Lisa's newest devotional: Jesus: A Scandously Devoted, Conspicuously Uncool, Super Transparent Homage to Who Our Savior Is and How Much He Loves Us is beautiful and so inspiring! Did I mention that it would be the perfect gift for someone this Christmas? I'm just saying.

The Kindness of Jesus with Lisa Harper - Episode 504

Gosh, this conversation is one of those thought-provoking, note-taking, mind-blown kind of conversations. My friend, Faith Eury Cho, just released her debut book called Experiencing Friendship with God. This book is beautiful and I think you're really going to love getting to know Faith and learn from her. We get to talk about feeling tired in our lives and our walk with Jesus, how to know when the Holy Spirit is growing something within us, and befriending the presence of God. I just adore Faith and I know you're going to love listening to her talk about the Lord and the Holy Spirit (ME TOO)!

Sacred Assumption with Faith Eury Cho - Episode 503

Today on the show I get to talk with my friend Natalie Grant. Y’all LOVE her and so do I! She is no stranger around here and her brand new album, Seasons, is out now and Y’ALL. Have you listened to it yet!?! IT'S SO GOOD! Okay...I could not have loved this conversation more and y'all just aren't even prepared for Natalie's story about Dolly Parton! Not only did we talk about all the amazing collabs that happened on Natalie's new album, we also talked about longevity, our partnership with the Lord, and how to identify soul exhaustion. 
Can you guess which song from Seasons I added to my AFD's Friday Fav's Spotify Playlist?

Stewarding God's Gifts with Natalie Grant - Episode 502

I’m so excited to have my friend Jana Kramer here! And y’all. I’m so proud of the way she shares her story with such honesty and vulnerability in this conversation and in her latest book, The Next Chapter. Today we’re talking about what her life has looked like post-divorce, her journey with motherhood, the questions she’s asking God, and what she’s learning about freedom and redemption. Because we’re talking about some tender parts of her story, it’s probably best for you to listen to this before any of my miniBFFs do. Jana so graciously opened up about what she’s walking through when it comes to church, faith, and some of the tough parts of it. I think you’re really going to love the honesty in this episode, and I feel really honored that Jana would invite us into her story this way.

Living in a Season of Joy with Jana Kramer - Episode 501

Here’s what feels true: almost every part of me is thriving in NYC. Thriving. I did not want these two months in New York City to upend my Nashville life, but I think they are going to. I think they have. So what am I supposed to do? I don't know. But I do know that I love to glow.

AFD in NYC Episode 6: An Essay About My Body

I know you’re not surprised how much I love the Church Calendar and Advent OR how much I love these friends! Raechel Myers and Amanda Bible Williams from She Reads Truth are back to talk all things Advent, why they’re the very first entry in the Hall of Fun, and what waiting for Jesus can look like in our lives. I learned some new prayers (mind blown emoji!) and just loved getting to have this conversation. I know you’re going to love what they share with us AND you’re going to love that discount code they brought especially for our group of friends!

Advent 2023 - What Are You Looking For?

Brooke Ligertwood is truly one of my very favorite guests and friends, and man, I'm so grateful that she sat down with us to talk about why worship here on earth matters, cultivating an awareness of God's presence, and experiencing spiritual warfare in the midst of ministry. Brooke's newest album EIGHT is SUCH a good album that I know you're going to love just as much as I do. Every conversation I have with Brooke, I leave feeling strengthened and encouraged in my faith and I am just so thankful for her wisdom.

Episode 499: Brooke Ligertwood on the Uniqueness of Worship on This Side of Heaven

Anticipation is actually one of the gifts of my personality type--I love the days before an awesome thing often as much as I love the thing. But it really works against me in seasons like this. Where I feel the time, the days, the experience, slipping through my fingers. Time moves fast sometimes. I’m feeling that here. I cannot slow time. But I can savor the minutes, days, weeks, months I have here. I’m trying.
If you missed the story of why I moved to New York for a couple months, be sure to listen to AFD in NYC Episode 1, AFD in NYC Episode 2, AFD in NYC Episode 3, and AFD in NYC Episode 4.

AFD in NYC Episode 5: Savor This

Y'all. I have NO CHILL about this episode. Today on the show I get to talk to my friends Nate Henry and Luke Rodgers who are the hosts of the Blurry Creatures podcast. Their podcast is truly one of my favorites and I've been dying to share it with you guys. Today's conversation is all about how they started the podcast, their experience talking about blurry creatures and spiritual warfare, and of course I HAD to ask them my burning questions about megalodons (you get it...), and about Jesus and the disciples talking about ghosts. It is so.good. Now listen, I know this may not be your thing, but it 100% is what sounds fun to me and I think you’ll find this episode really interesting!

Let's Read the Gospels in November!

Today on the show we finish up our Build Your Board series with Devin and Hunter Cordle. As we’ve talked about making sure you’re choosing who is influencing you in a world of influencers, we couldn’t wrap up this series without talking about social media. When we’re thinking about building our board, what role does social media get to play? It includes a lot of voices, so how do we figure out the right boundaries for social media as well as finding ways to learn from people who both think like us and those who don’t? If you’re not familiar with Hunter & Devin (known as The Cordle Family), go look them up on social media right now because they’re just a bright spot on my feed! This is such an insightful conversation that I think you're going to love!
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?

Who Are You Following? Let’s Talk Social Media with Devin and Hunter Cordle - Build Your Board Series

As we wrap up this week, we are coming to a close on our coaching conversations. And gosh, this week has been SO. GOOD. Y’all LOVED Janice Gaines when she was on the pod during our Summer Lovin' Series. So of course we had to have her back! And this time, her husband EJ Gaines, joined us as well to help us figure out if our relationships need a coach. Whether you’re married, dating, engaged, or single, a relationship coach may be the person you need to help you navigate the season you’re in. I think you’re going to love their wisdom and guidance today as we figure out what our relationships need.

Do My Relationships Need a Coach? (with Janice & EJ Gaines) - Build Your Board Series

Y'all. I'm having the BEST time this week talking about all the different kinds of coaching. Today's conversation is with my friend, Christy Wright. Christy is a certified business coach and personal development expert, and today we’re talking all about life coaching. What does a life coach even do? And how might one be able to benefit us? We talk about life balance and expectations, feeling disconnected from our bodies, and defining goals and seasons (Christy giving us permission to set a goal to have more fun?! Um...DONE!). Christy is just brilliant and I think our conversation is so helpful as we think about whether or not the next right voice we need is a life coach.
