Rest Hard Jul 04, 2022

Show notes

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.

Episode 395: Zachary Levi + Radical Love Jun 30, 2022

Show notes

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.)

That Sounds Fun Network: Welcome Deck The Hallmark! Jun 28, 2022

Show notes

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!

Episode 394: Alexa PenaVega + What If Love Is the Point? Jun 27, 2022

Show notes

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.)

Episode 393: Andy Crouch + The Life We're Looking For Jun 23, 2022

Show notes

One of my heroes in the faith space, Andy Crouch, is here to speak into our lives about when tech and faith culture meet. When we started taking about building a life where we don't need anybody....PHEW! That one got me. This is such a great conversation, ya'll. And Andy's new book, The Life We're Looking For is definitely one to add to your reading list!

Episode 392: David Thomas + Raising Emotionally Strong Boys Jun 20, 2022

Show notes

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.)
