As I get ready to spend my Summer Sabbath in the City, I want to share the WHOLE story of how I came to be AFD in NYC. So every day this week, we’re sharing the series of episodes from last fall called AFD in NYC—all leading up to a brand new episode on June 8th where I’m going to tell you why I chose to rest in the city instead of somewhere quiet.

A Recap (sorta) and Revelations with Annie + Eddie - Episode 890 May 30, 2024

Show notes

I’d tell you we’re here to recap 2018, but you know we always keep talking about anything and everything. In case you’re just jumping in with us, every month we’re chatting with our good buddy, Eddie Kaufholz and recapping the last 10 years in honor of the 10 year anniversary of That Sounds Fun. We’ve made it all the way to 2018, and this conversation had some surprising and hilarious revelations Eddie didn't see coming. Our recap series will be taking a break for the month of June, (helloooo summer sabbath!) but Eddie will be back in July to talk all things 2019 (or 2019 adjacent things...).

Check out our previous recap episodes.

The Spiritual and Cultural War on Men with Jon Tyson - Episode 887 May 20, 2024

Show notes

Gosh, I loved getting to chat with my friend and one of my favorite pastors, Jon Tyson. I have been really interested in watching how Jon and Jeff Bethke are investing in men and I'm so thankful for the work they are doing. Together, they wrote a fantastic book called Fighting Shadows: Overcoming 7 Lies That Keep Men From Becoming Fully Alive. Jon and I talk about the beautiful encounters we both experience in New York, finishing our lives and ministry on earth well, and how to encourage men to produce Holy ambition and bear the fruit of the Spirit. This is such an important conversation for not only the men in your life, but for all of us!

Show notes

Are you starting to think about some summer house projects? ME TOO! That's why I called in our favorite friend that helps us decorate our spaces on a budget. My dear friend, Myquillyn Smith (also known as The Nester) just released a BEAUTIFUL new book called, House Rules. Y'all are going to love it. I loved getting to chat with Myquillyn all about how to figure out your style, shopping your own house, and when to call in a friend for help. Also, her rule about making a We Did It List is brilliant! GAH! I love her so much and I know you will too!

The Book of Revelation with Matt Chandler - Episode 883 May 06, 2024

Show notes

Ok, y’all know I loved getting to do a deep dive on the Gospels and the book of Acts in April. Well, we’ve got one more conversation to close out that series (FOR NOW)! Today, we’re talking about the book of Revelation. My friend, Pastor Matt Chandler has a brand new book called The Overcomers that I think you're going to love! The book of Revelation can be overwhelming, intimidating, and honestly even scary at times, but Matt talks about how it's actually a message of encouragement, hope, and motivation. I can't wait for you to hear our conversation about what eternity will look like, being a lukewarm Christian versus being a disciple of Christ walking through a desert, and of course our deep dive into the book of Revelation. Gosh, I love getting curious about the books of the Bible!
