That Sounds Fun with Annie F. Downs

We've talked about how to commit to it, how to be better at communication, and today, we're talking about ways to find community.

I'm so excited for you to hear this conversation with Susie Larson. She’s a bestselling author, Bible teacher, and the host of Susie Larson Live. For decades she's encouraged people to know the heart of God and walk with courage and hope. Her brand-new book, More Than You Can Imagine, invites us to trust God more deeply by seeing ourselves the way He sees us—fully loved, deeply known, and created for so much more.

After you listen today, head over to spirituallystronger.com (that’s our Substack) so we can unpack this conversation even more together. I LOVE the community that’s formed there in the comments and I love getting to tell you some more stories there, like my old blogging days. We’ll link it in the show notes as well.

If you feel like you and your friends or you and your significant other are struggling with communication lately, keep listening. This episode is for you.

As we talk about the importance of community, one of the fastest things to trip us up is communication. Think about how often miscommunication or lack of communication is the root problem in a disagreement or riff with your people.

Author and therapist Jason VanRuler is here to help us better understand our communication type. It gives us such a better look into why we may act certain ways in friendships, relationships, at work.

Jason has a new book out called Discovering Your Communication Type, so you’re going to want to grab a copy of this. It’s so good!

We continue today’s conversation with you over on spirituallystronger.com - so please join a whole community of us over there as we unpack this together.

I'm so excited to introduce you to my sweet friend Leanna Crawford (or if you're already a fan like I am) to let you know about her incredible new album!

One of my favorite things about Leanna is that she doesn't pretend to have everything figured out. She's thoughtful, she's funny, she's deeply grounded in her faith, and I think you're going to walk away encouraged after hearing her heart.

Today we're talking songwriting, falling in love, dealing with comparison...ALL of it! Her brand new album “Thank God” is out today so you can start streaming it RIGHT NOW.
