That Sounds Fun With Annie F. Downs

I love sitting down with two enneagram 6s and hearing and seeing the world through their eyes for a couple of minutes. Curtis and Laura are smart and healthy and kind and vulnerable- giving us real insight into the life of a person who identifies as a six. I feel more prepared to face my day and more cognizant and aware and so grateful for these friends! The way they experience God and the world... fascinating, y'all! . . . .

I know the sacrifice our #EnneaSummer2020 Enneagram 5 friends are making, stepping up to the microphone and lending their stories to us today.

As promised, Jon Tyson is back on the show to pick up where we left off this spring. I absolutely love learning from him- whether through podcasts like this or messages he preaches online- but his new book Beautiful Resistance seems like a handbook for these days we are living. I teared up twice in this conversation. I feel really grateful- what an absolute gift it is for us to be led and encouraged by Jon.

This is the only episode we recorded long distance, and that's just how #EnneaSummer2020 Enneagram 4s like it, right? Annie and Stew join us from two different cities to tell us about the creative, thoughtful, deep life of a 4. I absolutely loved listening to them get to know each other and connect and become friends- maybe the highlight of the whole conversation. What a gift these 4s (and all 4s!) are to the rest of us! . . . .

Y'all aren't even ready for the high level of awesome our #EnneaSummer2020 Enneagram 3s bring today. Confident but humble, kind and thoughtful, Candice and Taylor are genuinely two of the best. I've watched them up close for years- as they have led and served- and I can promise you these are two friends you want in your corner. Grateful for their thoughts, grateful for their honesty, and grateful for all the ways that represent the heart and mind of 3s. . . . . .

Today's conversation with the Enneagram Ones absolutely blew my mind. I learned so much from Sarah and Dan and I just absolutely loved that they both showed up with the questions answered on a piece of paper, printed out, ready to go.

Our #EnneaSummer2020 Nines are two of the best and most genuine people I know.

It's been about a year since I met Nona Jones and I've loved getting to know her, learn from her, and laugh with her. We've been trying for months to get our calendars to sync for this conversation, ever since her incredible book Success from the Inside Out released in January, and everything aligned a few weeks ago.  We talk about COVID19, her health journey, how her traveling schedule has changed and what she's learning about herself in that, and how Facebook is helping churches in these weeks where church isn't in a building. While we recorded the original conversation in early May, we both thought it would be important to check in again yesterday and I wanted to hear her thoughts on what is happening in our world today. I'm grateful for her honesty and thoughts. --- #thatsoundsfunpodcast Thank you to our partners of the show!
