Sneak Peek of Annie's new show I Gotta Ask!
We wanted to give you a sneak peek of the brand new talk show I Gotta Ask with Annie F. Downs. This episode explores the question, "How does our faith inform our finances?" For more info on how you can watch the WHOLE season of I Gotta Ask, visit https://www.anniefdowns.com/i-gotta-ask/ If you want to watch this - check it out on your Spotify app, or YouTube! Can you trust God and still check your bank account five times a day? In this straight-talking, soul-meets-strategy conversation, Annie F. Downs is joined by BeautyBlender Founder and Owner Rea Ann Silva, financial expert Anthony O’Neal, and Annie’s friend Kelley — who asks the questions we’re all thinking but rarely say out loud. From tithing when you feel broke to navigating ambition vs. contentment, this episode dives into the real tension between faith and financial survival. And here’s the twist: money conversations don’t have to feel heavy, they can actually be freeing, and even fun. Packed with practical tools, hard truths, and hope you can actually use, this conversation will challenge how you think about money — and empower you to handle it with wisdom, freedom, faith, and a splash of humor.

The Urgent Call to Confession, Conviction & Compassion with Aaron Graham- Episode 1060
Pastor Aaron Graham is the founder and lead pastor of a thriving, multicultural church in Washington, D.C. representing more than 80 nations, called The District Church, and he’s spent years helping people navigate faith and culture. He’s also the author of a brand new book called Unshakable Faith, where he talks about how to stand firm in what we believe, even when everything around us feels like it’s shifting. Today we’re unpacking a new spiritual rhythm-- confession. Aaron helps us rethink confession…not as something heavy or shame-filled, but as an invitation back into closeness with God. Join us over on spirituallystronger.com as well where we have a confession practice guide for you to use. This is just a simple download that will help you think through what may need to be brought into the light. And if you need a place to share what you’ve been struggling with and need someone to confess to, you can always send us an email at tellmemore@anniefdowns.com. We’d be honored to read them. . . . .

Singleness and the Desire to Be a Mother: A Story of Foster Care, Adoption & Hope- Episode 1059
We recently recorded an episode of Single Purpose League about mothering, and as soon as we finished, I looked at the team and said, “Should we share this with the larger That Sounds Fun audience?” With Mother’s Day this past Sunday, we recognize how complicated that day can be for so many of us. For some, you’re mourning the loss of your mom or the mom you’d hope for. For others, you’re mourning the fact that you can’t biologically have children. And for others, you’re carrying the tension of being a mom while also wrestling with the fact that it’s harder than you ever could have imagined. In this episode from Single Purpose League, you’re going to hear a conversation between myself, Katy Boatman who co-leads Single Purpose League with me, and our friend, Christen who is a single mom of two adopted little boys. Our hope is that whatever emotion this day holds, you’ll be reminded that the story God writes is full of hope and purpose, even if it’s harder than you would have imagined. If you’re not married right now, and you want to hear more conversations like this, we’d love to get to know you in Single Purpose League! We drop a new episode once a month over on Patreon and then we get to chat it up and talk about it together on our monthly livestreams. It’s a blast and we still have a lot of fun things planned for SPL this year. Check it out at singlepurposeleague.com. . . . .

A Life Marked by Discipline and Generosity with Jon Acuff- Episode 1058
Today we are unpacking generosity with my friend, Jon Acuff. Jon is always equal parts hilarious, honest, and incredibly helpful, and today’s conversation is one I think you’re going to love. As we talk about generosity…we’re going to talk about what it practically looks like, how it changes us, and ways to be generous with more than just our money. Jon brings so much wisdom and practical perspective to this conversation. He also has a brand new book out called Procrastination Proof, so we get into that too—how to stop putting off the things that matter most, how to actually make progress, and why procrastination doesn’t have to run the show. We also have a Generosity Practice Guide available for you over today on spirituallystronger.com We want to make sure we’re not just talking about spiritual disciplines this year, but actually putting them into practice, so we’ve created this practice guide to give you some ideas. Typically our resources are available only to our Spiritually Stronger paid substack subscribers, but we wanted to give you a peek at what these guides are like because we have 3 more coming soon. So in the spirit of generosity, today it’s free ;) Just head over to spirituallystronger.com to download it. . . . .
