    Revivals, Prayer Meetings, and Making Disciples with Jon Tyson- Episode 973
    Apr 7 2025
    Today on the show, we’re answering the question, “How do we identify when spring is here?” with Pastor Jon Tyson. Jon is the pastor of Church of the City in New York and a best selling author. We’re going to talk about identifying spring, revival and resurrection, and what role we play in all of it. This is also our last episode before Holy Week and Easter, since we don’t release episodes during Holy Week, so we also talk about ways to enter into this next week as we finish Lent and celebrate the resurrection. And if you’re following along in your TSF Seasons Guidebook, we’re on page 45. As always, if you still want to get a Guidebook and join us, you can find it at anniefdowns.com/seasons. As you know, we don’t release shows during Holy Week, but we do have an entire Holy Week playlist that you can go back and listen to where I read the Scripture from each day of that week leading up to Easter. . . . . .

    Healing from Generational Trauma and Mean Girls with Melanie Shankle- Episode 971
    Mar 27 2025
    Today Melanie Shankle is here to help us answer the question, “What do I do when spring still feels like winter?” Melanie’s always making us laugh on The Big Boo Cast, telling us which jeans to wear on the internet, and writing brilliant books and her latest is just incredible. It’s called Here Be Dragons: Treading the Deep Waters of Motherhood, Mean Girls, and Generational Trauma and it’s Melanie’s honest and deeply personal story of trusting God to heal generational wounds so she can be a strong presence for her daughter. I know she’s not the only one with this kind of story and like many of us has found herself at times in a winter season when everyone else is in spring and we’re going to talk about how to navigate that. I think you’re really going to love this conversation. If you’re following along in your TSF Seasons Guidebook, we're on page 42. If you don’t have a guidebook yet, head to anniefdowns.com/seasons to purchase yours so you can hop in with us for the spring.

  • That Sounds Fun: The Seasons - Spring is Here!

    That Sounds Fun: The Seasons - Spring is Here!
    Mar 21 2025
    We are so glad you’re loving this rhythm of walking through the seasons together this year on That Sounds Fun, and WE KNOW YOU’RE READY FOR SPRING. My gosh, we are too. We all feel it, right? The anticipation of a new thing. More light. More warmth. More color. The winter was both long AND full of purpose. It was both painful AND sacred, cold AND cozy. But we are ready for spring! Starting Monday, March 24th we officially kick off the spring on the podcast with none other than our pastor for this year in the seasons, Pastor Mike Kelsey. Y’all loved his insight on the winter and he’s returning to help us usher in this new season. He’s going to help us figure out what spring means spiritually and how we define it in our lives. And as the spring continues we’re bringing on some incredible guests to help us answer questions like: What do I do when spring still feels like winter? How do I transition seasons well? How do I identify when spring is here? And how do I process change in busy seasons? Spring is going to bring us opportunities to talk about resurrection and revival. It’s going to give us the chance to talk about resting in the midst of busy seasons and still feeling stuck in your own winter when everyone else is in the full bloom of spring. And we just might have another soundtrack for the season that we all get to listen to! Plus, YOU KNOW Eddie and I are going to keep talking once a month BECAUSE DUH WE LOVE IT, and you just never know when an Always Annie episode will get dropped in too. But here’s what I really love: we’ve had the chance to really journey together through the TSF Seasons Guidebook where we have pages for you to take notes, answer journal prompts, and process questions from each episode. So we have new spring pages for your Guidebook ready to go! If you already purchased the Guidebook in the winter, you should have received an email already with your spring pages. But if you don't have a copy yet, head over to anniefdowns.com/seasons to purchase yours and you’ll get both winter AND spring and then you’ll be emailed summer and fall pages as each of those seasons begin. God’s been working in big ways in the stillness of the winter, and I pray we see the fruit as we turn the page into spring. But in all of it, our hope is to help you get the most of every season. We don’t want to let it pass us by without acknowledging what God’s up to. . . . . . Want to watch this on YouTube? Head on over to our YouTube Channel and be sure to like and subscribe! . . . . .
