  • Celebrating 10 Years of That Sounds Fun Podcast with Gratitude and a Recap of the Ryman Show - Episode 940

    Celebrating 10 Years of That Sounds Fun Podcast with Gratitude and a Recap of the Ryman Show - Episode 940
    Nov 23 2024
    Today is the official birthday of That Sounds Fun. Ten years ago today, the first episode released. Yes, of course we’ve been celebrating all year, but I couldn’t let the actual day of the start come and go without pausing and giving thanks, for you and with you. This podcast also opened the door for my first ever show at the Ryman Auditorium- truly a dream come true. Over 2,000 of you were in the room with us, but that’s just a fraction of the friends listening today. So I thought it would be fun to grab our old pal Eddie for a few minutes, who was an integral part of the night, and recap it for you here. . . . . . Want to watch this episode on YouTube?

  • Communing with God and Experiencing His Depth in the Midst of Our Aching with Strahan Coleman- Episode 938

    Communing with God and Experiencing His Depth in the Midst of Our Aching with Strahan Coleman- Episode 938
    Nov 18 2024
    Strahan Coleman is a teacher at Practicing the Way, founder of the ministry Commoners Communion, AND he’s an award-winning musician. He lives in New Zealand with his wife and three young boys and in his latest book, Thirsting, Strahan poetically explores how to rediscover and fulfill our deepest desire through communion with God. We talk about how his chronic illness and losing his ability to sing lead him into a deeper friendship and closeness with God, the depths of God being like the dark ocean, the time it takes for a tree to produce fruit, and more. I hope this conversation leaves you thirsting for more of God. . . . . Want to watch this episode on YouTube? Head on over to our YouTube Channel and be sure to like and subscribe! . . . . .

  • Hey Jesus, It's Me with Comedian Ellen Skrmetti- Episode 936

    Hey Jesus, It's Me with Comedian Ellen Skrmetti- Episode 936
    Nov 11 2024
    Y’all get ready, because today I get to talk with my friend, Ellen Skrmetti—one of my favorite follows on Instagram. I bet you love her too…she makes those “Hey Jesus, it’s me,” videos…and she’s just as funny in person as she is online. Her southern humor is just spot on in the bless-your-heart kind of way and I laughed so much during this conversation. We did a real deep dive on how her comedy career got started, church potlucks, the speed of funerals, panty hose, a new sausage ball recipe… and we also got to talk about her brand new book, Hey Jesus, It’s Me. Y’all, hand to heaven, ask my coworkers, I laughed out loud multiple times reading this book. It is so funny and so good. . . . . Want to watch this episode on YouTube?

    Starring in One Tree Hill, Fleeing a Cult, and Finding Identity in Christ with Bethany Joy Lenz- Episode 934
    Nov 4 2024
    You may remember Bethany Joy Lenz from One Tree Hill (she was Haley James Scott on the show), but today she is being generous with her story of faith and freedom and identity, as she talks about the journey of finding herself in a cult, the manipulation she experienced, and the empowerment she found to break way from it all. She shares even more of this story and the destruction narcissism can cause in her brand new memoir, Dinner for Vampires, which, y’all, I seriously couldn't put down. . . . .
