There is no shortage of goodness in this episode! We recorded this while Annie was living in NYC where we got to have this conversation face to face. I just know it will encourage you! It’s an honor to call Annie friend. Please enjoy. Annie F. Downs is a New York Times best-selling author, nationally known speaker, and podcast host based in Nashville, Tennessee. Flawed but funny, she uses her writing to highlight the everyday goodness of a real and present God. Annie is the author of multiple best-selling books, including Remember God and 100 Days To Brave. By weaving together personal stories, humor, and Scripture, she invites those reading to experience fulfilled lives with a God who made them on purpose and loves them deeply. You can learn more about her books here. While she loves writing — books, blogs, articles, thank you notes — Annie also enjoys traveling around the world speaking at events, conferences, and churches. You can learn more about her speaking events here. Annie’s podcast — That Sounds Fun Podcast — releases new episodes every Monday and Thursday. Authors, pastors, musicians, comedians, chefs, athletes — Annie has them all and calls them all friend. You’ll love the conversation in every episode. Annie is a huge fan of bands with banjos, confetti poppers, her community of friends, boiled peanuts, and soccer.  Nikolaus von Zinzendorf: "Preach the gospel, die, and be forgotten.” Follow her here! @anniefdowns Share this episode with your friends and please rate and review wherever you listen!
