Our dear friend, Charles Martin is back on the pod with his pastor and friend (but no relation), Joby Martin. We talked about God not answering prayers in the way that we want Him to, what was going on in Judas' mind/heart during Holy Week, and their new book Anything Is Possible: How Nine Miracles of Jesus Reveal God’s Love for You. Also, be sure to check out Charles' new book Son of Man. You know I can't resist a chance to talk about miracles and how well Jesus loves!

Please note that this conversation was recorded just hours after the recent tragic mass shooting at a Nashville school. We do talk about this tragedy throughout the show, so I wanted to let you know beforehand, in case your heart is tender towards this right now (as is all of ours). We are praying for our friends, family, and community to be able to have space to grieve together and care for one another.

As a reminder, That Sounds Fun will not release any new episodes during Holy Week next week. We'll see you back here after Easter!

Y'all ask us to talk about friendship on the pod ALL.THE.TIME. I'm so happy that my friend, Laura Tremaine is here to teach us about married women and single women being friends with each other, feeling shame around ending friendships, and putting things on pause. Laura's new book The Life Council is so invitational and I can't wait for you guys to read it.

YOU GUYS! What a joy to have Chrissy Metz (maybe you know her as Kate from This is Us) and songwriter and entrepreneur Bradley Collins here with me in the studio to talk all about their book When I Talk to God I Talk about You. It is the sweetest children's book!! I'd love for it to end up in all of my miniBFF's Easter baskets! We had the actual best time during our conversation and I can't wait for you to hear it.

Settle in for this one, friends. Aundi Kolber is one of the wisest women I know and we are going to talk deep quick about carrying the death and the life of Jesus in our bodies, different attachment theories, and building safety with God, ourselves, and others. This one is powerful. Aundi's equally beautiful and timely book, Strong Like Water is so healing. This is a great show for our married friends, our single friends, and all of us looking to be strong and soft and loved and loving.

Some of my favorite dudes, Shane & Shane, are BACK in the studio this week to chat with us about what it looks like to know that God is pleased with what you've made, and how the Psalms drive us back to the truth and gives us words to pray.

Be sure you're streaming their new album Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs (Live) where you love to listen to music this weekend.

Today I get to talk to rapper and new author, Kevin "KB" Burgess. PHEW! You guys...KB is out here PREACHING to us and I could not be happier. We dive in hard on how to keep our convictions of truth while still meeting people where they are with the love of Jesus, deconversion versus deconstruction, and if it's possible to do truth and love on social media. This theme we are seeing lately...the Holy Spirit is really speaking to us as the Church and I'm all ears. KB's first book Dangerous Jesus is incredible. And important. And impactful. Make sure to grab a copy and share one with a friend!

Listen to KB teach us through Dangerous Jesus by finding the series on Southside Rabbi Podcast.

He's one of my favorite pastors, authors, and fellow Georgia Bulldogs (GOOO DAWWWGGS!!). David Platt is back on the podcast to talk about unreached people groups, being aware of the history around us and living in light of those things, and what it looks like to honor brothers and sisters who feel differently about experiences than we do. David's newest book Don't Hold Back is incredible. I highlighted, underlined, and cried all the way through it. I highly recommend grabbing a copy to read this weekend!

Head over to Urgentneeds.org to see the Radical campaign to reach unreached people that David talked about.

Tim Mackie and I dove in REAL hard on the Gospels, what we do with the hard things Scripture says, and what we should pay attention to as we're reading/hearing the Gospels in Chronological order on Let's Read the Gospels Podcast.

Oh it’s always such a treat to sit down with one of my favorite voices, worship leaders, and friends- Christy Nockels. Today we talk all about taking care of our voices, how to know when it's time to start mentoring versus building in relationships, and how sometimes God calls us to pioneer things like Jesus did. Go out and listen to Christy's new album This is the Hour this weekend! Y'all are going to love it!

Oh friends. This is a special one. Beth Moore is a real faith hero of mine and I'm so grateful to Beth for her vulnerability and wisdom in this conversation. Her newest book, All My Knotted-Up Life: A Memoir is poignant and important. It's a beautiful and redemptive story and I am so excited to share it with you.

(FYI we jump into some pretty deep and tough topics today such as sexual abuse. These topics may be tender to you, so I wanted you to know before you listened so you could care for yourself well. And, for our #miniBFFs, this show may be a bit much for their little ears.)

There's no better way to spend Presidents' Day than talking to Sharon McMahon! Sharon teaches us about the history of Presidents' Day and balancing disagreeing with someone's actions while honoring their contributions. And we FOR SURE had to talk about her recent experience at the State of the Union, certain things floating in the sky lately, classified documents...YOU GET IT... I just love Sharon and I love listening to her podcast Here's Where It Gets Interesting. She's truly America's favorite government teacher!

My dear friend, Kelly Minter, stopped by the studio just a couple days ago and we sat down to chat all about the Amazon rainforest, the Beatitudes, and using the Sermon on the Mount in prayer. Jesus is having QUITE the moment lately, isn't He? Kelly's new book The Blessed Life is so good and would make the perfect gift to a loved one in your life (or yourself!).

One of my favorite worship leaders, Davy Flowers, is on the podcast today and I couldn't be happier! We sat down together and chatted about being all in with Jesus, calling Him friend, and memorizing scripture. Y'all. Davy sang a little for us (TWICE!) and I was beside myself with happy. Her first full length album I Was Loved is absolutely beautiful and made me straight up sob. GAH! It's so good!

I just love Ann Voskamp. She's a dear friend, the kindest voice, and she teaches us to be brave! We talked about the sovereignty of God, what a day of rest looks like for us, and communion with other people. Also...you know it wouldn't be a proper conversation with Ann if it didn't include chatting about farm life and what books we're both currently reading! Ann's first children's book, Your Brave Song, is so special. And what a great Valentine's Day gift for the miniBFFs in your life!

(Also, be sure to listen all the way through to the end of this episode when one of you had a very fun surprise for me! Spoiler alert...I love parades!!)

I'm so happy that I got to talk with my friend, Jennifer Rothschild, about her new Bible Study, Amos: An Invitation to the Good Life. Jennifer carries such wisdom and I cherish her friendship. We got to chat all about the Bible (let's GO minor prophets!), what she learned from studying the book of Amos, and the freedom that follows injustice and forgiveness. I CAN'T WAIT to see her again soon!

I'm so glad y'all loved my first conversation with my friend, Micah Tyler, last summer. ME TOO! I knew we just HAD to have him back. We get to talk all about our favorite podcasts we listen to, the sports we love, and building spiritual muscles. I think y'all are going to really enjoy reading Micah's new book Walking Free (I enjoyed it so much that I wrote the foreword to it!). He's just the nicest dude, and I can't wait for you to hear our conversation.

This one is about to get up in your business. Mike Donehey, one of my favorite artists, authors, and one of my downright favorite humans, comes on the show and BRINGS THE WORD over and over. Chatting with Mike about forgiveness, peacemaking, and the name of Jesus...gracious this one is gold from start to finish (and speaking of finish... the last 10 minutes of this episode really went off the rails when we all learn about Mike's incredible hidden skill/party trick). Make sure you grab a copy of his new book Grace in the Gray!

I am honored to have my friend, Toni Collier, join us for a conversation about pressing into healing. Toni and I always have such a fun (and loud) time together and this conversation is no different! We chat about the balance between our writing process and healing, divorce, counseling, and the importance of having a diverse community of friendship that surrounds you. Toni's organization, Broken Crayons Still Color is doing some important work and I know you're going to love her new book, Brave Enough to Be Broken. 

And just a note that this would be a good one to listen through before any miniBFFs are within earshot.

You guys! I am so excited to share this conversation with my new friends, Pastor Glenn and Holly Packiam. We get to talk about celebrating the good from our last season, getting in touch with what God’s calling us to right now, and practicing rhythms of prayer, rest, renewal, relationships, and work. I think you’re going to love them and really benefit from their wisdom and experience. Be sure to check out their book, The Intentional Year, as you are thinking about your new rhythms for 2023.

Oh man. What an honor to have the one and only Santa Claus back in the studio this year. We talked a bit about Santa's shell company, Dolly Parton, the naughty and nice lists, and a new game Santa invented that really got us giggling. In a TOTALLY unrelated side note...Dave Barnes is brilliant and you should check out his new album, Remembering: Greatest Hits Acoustic.

Grown ups, this conversation got a little cheeky, so maybe proceed with caution if you have miniBFFs around.

I'm so happy to have my friend, Zach Williams on the podcast today. I just love it when we get to catch up like old-time friends and have a great conversation like this one. Make sure you check out his new album A Hundred Highways, it's a good one! And if you haven't seen Dolly Parton's Magic Mountain Christmas, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!

What a gift to have Ellie Holcomb in the studio to chat all things Christmas! Ellie is such a dear and wise friend and I loved this conversation. We talk about what it looks like to ponder and take in the beauty and the good we see, making space to remember, and how to do the Christmas season well (especially with kids). Ellie's new children's book Sounding Joy is ADORABLE and I definitely recommend gifting it to ALL the miniBFFs in your life! Also be sure to check out her album Sing: Christmas Songs as well!

Be sure to hop on over to my Instagram and comment with what JOY sounds like to you!

We couldn't let the Christmas season go by without a few fun Christmas Party bonus episodes! This summer, I had the opportunity to visit the set of The Chosen and it was INCREDIBLE. Y'all. I had SO much fun chatting with a few of the cast and crew of The Chosen season 3. George Xanthis (who plays John), Liz Tabish (Mary Magdalene), Giavani Cairo (Thaddeus), Ryan Swanson (co-writer), Brad Pelo (President of The Chosen), Brandon Potter (Quintus), and Katherine Warnock (Head of Original Content for The Chosen). I can't wait for y'all to hear our conversations and to watch season 3 of The Chosen! 

If you want to check out more of my visit to the set and watch some behind the scenes action, we made a little video that you can find HERE.

Oh y'all...what better way to celebrate Thanksgiving here in the United States than with our friend, Father Mike Schmitz. As we enter into the season of Advent this weekend, Father Mike walks us through how Advent came about, its purpose, and how an Advent rhythm can set us for the coming year. Man, this friend is such a gift and I'm so thankful for his encouragement to all of us.

As we head into this season of Advent, my friend Tsh Oxenreider, walks us through an introduction to this special time in the liturgical calendar. We talked all about boundaries around social media, the different traditions surrounding Advent, and we took a deep dive into the difference between Lent and Advent. I'm so thankful for Tsh and the wisdom she shares! You can find the special video version of this conversation on YouTube HERE.

I LOVE when I get to have a conversation with one of my all-time favorite pastors, Louie Giglio! Talking to Louie about all things Jesus is just the BEST! His newest book, Winning the War on Worry, is such a breath of fresh air as we walk towards our Thanksgiving celebrations next week. Also, be sure to grab a copy of his newest devotional, At the Table with Jesus. Y'all are going to love these two books and this conversation! I'm so thankful for Pastor Louie's voice as he guides us through this season.

Happy Veteran’s Day (on Friday!) and thank you so much to all the men and women who have served our country and allowed us the freedoms we have today. To celebrate, I got to sit down with Evan and Dr. Jenny Owens, founders of REBOOT Recovery and authors of Healing What's Hidden. Their work with veterans and first responders is truly remarkable and I'm so grateful for their wisdom, education, and humility. May we all lead with grace, vulnerability, and curiosity.

Parents, just a note that due to the nature of the Owens' work, this would be a good one to listen through before any miniBFFs are within earshot.

It's a podcast party! The ENTIRE band from We The Kingdom is in the studio today and I could not be.more.excited. Y'ALL this conversation...actually changed my life and the way that I do friendship. Ed, Scott, Franni, Martin, and Andrew were so kind and generous in their vulnerability to talk about healing from church hurt, being authentic with ourselves and our people, and letting public faith people be humans. You're going to love their new album, Miracle Power! ALSO. Be looking for our future WTK/AFD tour promo in a hot air balloon coming soon to a tour poster near you.

My dear, dear, friend and one of our FAVORITE guests, Ginna Claire Mason Moffett, is BACK! Ginna Claire is STARRING in a Hallmark Christmas movie, premiering November 27, and I could not be more excited. We talk all about GC filming a movie in New York while performing in Wicked on Broadway AT THE SAME TIME. Excuse me...ma'am! We also talk about what it's like to be a Rockette, balancing disappointment and hope, and I learned a lot about Doris Day. Be on the lookout for our group viewing party plan so we can all watch our girl star in A Holiday Spectacular together!

I’m so grateful to our friend Mike Kelsey for hosting, creating, and curating this week’s podcast episodes!

Today, Mike chats with his friend and fellow pastor Mitchel Lee about his experience being an Asian American pastor of a predominately white megachurch, his journey of racial identity, and dynamics between the Black and Asian community. And yes, Pastor Mitchel's book, Even If: Trusting God When Life Disappoints, Overwhelms, or Just Doesn't Make Sense, IMMEDIATELY went into my Amazon cart after listening to this conversation.

Here’s a playlist with every Mike Kelsey episode of the podcast from the past few years!

What a true honor to have Dr. Diane Langberg on the show today. Her book, Redeeming Power: Understanding Authority and Abuse in the Church, has taught me so much about trauma, abuse, and power. In this conversation, Dr. Langberg teaches us about paying attention to our own power, misusing that power, and balancing love for our local church with accountability.

If abuse is a part of your story, I would encourage you to listen with someone who loves you. This conversation may be tender to you, so I wanted you to know before you listened so you could care for yourself and your heart well. And, for our #miniBFFs, this show may be a bit much for their little ears.

We have such a special show for you today! I got to talk with one of my heroes, Richard Foster, and his friend and fellow pastor Brenda Quinn. Richard's new book Learning Humility uses the Lakota calendar as a framework for this study on the virtue of humility. IT'S FASCINATING! What an inspiring  conversation about slowing down enough to be available to God, coming to God as who you already are, and one of our favorite topics - prayer.

Due to some technological challenges, this episode's audio isn’t typical TSF quality. We’re sorry about that, but we still wanted to bring you this great conversation!

Cynt is the CEO of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks (I mean...how fun is THAT?!). Her new book You've Been Chosen is seriously incredible. We talked all about how her cancer journal ended up being a book about hope and joy, and the importance of morning rhythms. Also. Her story about praying over President Obama had me ROLLING with laughter!

(FYI, we talk about a bit about domestic violence. This topic may be tender to you, so I wanted you to know before you listened so you could care for yourself well. And, for our #miniBFFs, this show may be too grown-up for their little ears.)

My girl, Nona Jones, is in the STUDIO! Hugging her neck before sitting down to have a conversation meant SO much! We talked all about getting to the root of insecurity, putting on a front that we have it all together (yikes), and setting boundaries around social media. If y'all loved this conversation, you'll love Nona's new book Killing Comparison.

I can't wait for y'all to hear this conversation with my new friend, Katy Nichole. Of course we had to talk about being next door neighbors at the KLove awards this past year.

I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with the brilliant and inspiring Deborah Liu. She's the CEO of Ancestry.com and has been a leader at Facebook, PayPal, eBay, THE LIST GOES ON! Deb's new book Take Back Your Power was so impactful for me and this conversation about navigating what work and power means, having forgiveness for yourself, and the difference between a mentor and a sponsor...good gravy. Whether you are a woman at work, or you work with women, or you've ever had a job before, I think you will find this conversation fascinating and empowering.

(And FYI we talk a bit about abusive relationships. This topic may be tender to you, so I wanted you to know before you listened so you could care for yourself well. And, for our #miniBFFs, this show may be a bit much for their little ears.)

We talk about sabbath a lot here. For the next couple of weeks, our team is taking some much-needed time off and we wanted to invite you to take a little break and a moment of quiet, to rest too.

And so, this week, rather than episodes on Monday and Thursday, we’d just like to invite you to rest, to take a podcast sabbath if you will, with us. There will be regularly scheduled episodes again next week, but for today and Thursday, let’s use the time we’d normally spend listening to That Sounds Fun as an opportunity to worship and rest.

Yes, friends, you read that right. Zachary Levi (AHEM...THE Zac Levi) is here to talk about his new book Radical Love. Did our entire office have a fangirl moment?? YES WE DID. Zac and I had a great conversation about mental health, being an enneagram 7 (we bonded), and so much more! Y'all, go out and grab yourself a copy of his new book! 

(And FYI, Zac uses a bit of stronger language, so let’s put a PG13 label on this one? May be best to listen without #miniBFFs in earshot.)

Let's start here: what's a podcast network? Well, the That Sounds Fun Network is an amusement park of podcasts created to entertain, impact, help and bless you and the people you love. So if you love TSF the show, we think and hope you'll love all the shows on the TSF Network.

We are deeply proud of the shows on the TSF Network, and we are very excited about the ones that will be joining in 2022!

Christmas has come early this year, my friends! We are just thrilled to welcome Deck The Hallmark to our amusement park. The guys who run this show are HILARIOUS and kind and so likeable and honestly, who doesn't need a little Hallmark talk in their daily lives? Hear us today discuss how this whole thing started, why joining a network sounded fun to them, and some HOT TAKES on Christmas in July movies. (Also, Brendan Penny... we love you.)

Go subscribe today! A new show launches every DAY (welcome to Christmas in July!) so there are episodes ready for you RIGHT NOW!

I'm so happy to talk to my new friend, Alexa PenaVega, on the podcast about moving her family to Hawaii, her marriage with husband, Carlos PenaVega, their new book What If Love Is the Point? (that releases TOMORROW!), hearing God, the power of rest, going on tour, the list goes on! Ya'll! Alexa is so open and honest. This conversation is one of my favorites.

(And FYI we jump into some pretty deep conversation about some topics, like sex, marriage, and disordered eating. These topics may be tender to you, so I wanted you to know before you listened so you could care for yourself well. And, for our #miniBFFs, this show may be a bit much for their little ears.)

My friend (and all around best.counselor.ever), David Thomas, is back on the pod today with so much wisdom on raising the young men in our lives. This is such an important conversation for not just parents, but for humans in general.

(Because of the nature of David's work at Daystar Counseling, we talk about some topics, like suicide, that may be painful for you, and too grown-up for my miniBFFs. Please listen with those thoughts in mind.)

We are joined by Pastor Kevin Queen from Cross Point Church, Carlos Whittaker, and Beth Moore! You've also got me and Ashley in these conversations helping moderate and process.

I'm so happy to have my favorite comedian Anjelah Johnson Reyes back on the podcast talking about her new book Who Do You Think I Am? (that releases TOMORROW!), her new reality show, and what she's been learning lately. We both got teary at a point in the convo so let's just say it's a good one. :) 

(And FYI we jump into some pretty deep conversation about femininity and sexuality, so let's put a PG13 label on this one? May be best to listen without #miniBFFs in earshot.)

I am such a fan of Hannah Brown. Yes, I watched and cheered for her the last few years as she's made her way on television, but I'm most impressed with who she is as a human and friend. Her new book God Bless This Mess is a good read and perfect for this week of Thanksgiving when you've got more reading time on your hands!
