That Sounds Fun with Annie F. Downs

• A Theology of Singleness with Ashley Anderson- Episode 980

  Ashley Anderson is a ministry leader and wise voice who lives in New York and has become a dear, dear friend of mine. She was our April guest on the Single Purpose League podcast last month, and we had a conversation around having a theology of singleness—What does that mean? Why does it matter? What does Scripture say about being single? It felt so important to all of us so, today, we’re sharing that conversation with all of you.  We’re doing that this week because Single Purpose League registration is open! We only open it up certain times a year, so we’re able to have intentional time going a little bit deeper with our members, so SPL registration is open RIGHT NOW but it closes on Thursday—THIS Thursday May 15th—at 11:59pm CST. If you have a friend who could benefit from a community of women figuring out our single purpose and our purpose while single, will you text them this episode and let them know about Single Purpose League? Every month we’re tackling topics that help us thrive as single people. We have an exclusive podcast, monthly livestream where we do Q&A (they’re a blast) and opportunities throughout the year to meet up in person and connect. We also just announced our summer book club, so now’s a GREAT time to jump in. You can learn more and sign up at singlepurposeleague.com, but remember registration closes on Thursday night and won’t open again until the fall. ALSO - Katy and I are doing a live Zoom call tonight (May 13th) called Why Am I Single? And we would love for any of you to join that at 7pm Central. HERE's the Link! . . . . .

• TSF Faves: The Gospel of Mark with Dr. Esau McCaulley- Episode 978

  From time to time, we want to replay episodes that really stuck out to us or maybe episodes that feel relevant to things going on around us, and this is one of those. Whether you’ve heard it before or this is your first time, I think there’s always something new to learn about Scripture.  I recently got to teach the kick off to a brand new series at Cross Point, where we’re spending an entire year going through the book of Mark. Y’all know how I feel about the Gospels!! This Cross Point sermon could not have been more perfectly picked for me. I read a bunch of books and commentaries to prepare for this sermon, and I went back to our Gospels episode with Dr. Esau McCaulley to listen to him teach on the book of Mark and my feet were barely on the ground—I was so fired up about this book.  This episode isn't in your TSF Seasons Guidebook, but you'll want your notes page out for this one! . . . . . You’re invited to read through the Gospels with us during the month of May. We’ve got a whole reading group of friends joining us and can listen along with us over on the Let’s Read the Gospels podcast, so make sure you’re subscribed. We’re also going to be reading in the order that’s in the Let’s Read the Gospels Guided Journal, so you choose to just listen, or just read and journal along with us OR DO BOTH. It’s totally up to you! We also have a facebook group for all of us who are reading together!  . . . . . Find the show notes here Want to watch this episode?
