The Gospel of John with Dr. Nijay K. Gupta - Episode 873 Apr 01, 2024

Show notes

Today on the show we’re kicking off the Let’s Read the Gospels series that we’re going to do every Monday in April here on That Sounds Fun. Over on the Let’s Read the Gospels podcast, we’re diving into the Guided Journal this month and going through the Gospels starting with the book of John. So, we wanted to bring in some of our favorite theologians and Bible teachers to help us really dive into each book one by one. And today we’re talking all things John with one of our favorite friends and New Testament experts, Dr. Nijay Gupta. If you're a wannabe Bible nerd (LIKE ME), you're going to love conversation and all the WOWIE ZOWIE moments Dr. Nijay gives us.

Humility and the Unknown with Dr. Joel Muddamalle - Episode 872 Mar 21, 2024

Show notes

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.

Show notes

We’re taking things back to 2016 with our good buddy, Eddie Kaufholz. If you missed the news, each month this year, in honor of our 10th Anniversary of That Sounds Fun Podcast, Eddie and I will be reviewing each year the podcast has existed. We’re going to talk about what happened in the world, the top songs and movies, and what happened in our own lives…this is going to be an adventure back to all the things we forgot and all the memories that have stuck with us too. These conversations are WILD. If you love the Olympics, SNL, or Adele, I think you're going to love this episode.

Next Level Chef with Nicole Renard - Episode 870 Mar 14, 2024

Show notes

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 Mar 11, 2024

Show notes

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.

Y'all know we're big fans of The Chosen around here. My dear friend, Amanda Jenkins just released a new interactive Bible study, God's Goodness for the Chosen. You guys. It's so beautiful!

Believing the Unbelievable with Dr. Nijay K. Gupta - Episode 867 Mar 04, 2024

Show notes

Our friend and one of our favorite theologians around here, Dr. Nijay Gupta, is back! If you're like me and geek out when talking all things Scripture, I think you're really going to love this episode. Not only is Dr. Nijay a professor of New Testament, but he’s also a senior translator for the NLT Bible, the New Living Translation, which we’re using for the month of April on Let’s Read the Gospels. So clearly this is our guy for all our questions! Today we talked about the first Christians being so different from Roman culture, the mystery of God and time, and the reputation problem of Christianity. Dr. Nijay is just so brilliant! Be sure to grab a copy of his newest book, Strange Religion: How the First Christians Were Weird, Dangerous, and Compelling.
