That Sounds Fun with Annie F. Downs

Show Notes

Welcome to the very first episode of what we’re calling AFD’s Friday Faves! I have a playlist on Spotify called AFD’s Friday Faves where I’ll update it from time to time with music I’m listening to or songs I think you’ll love, and now we’re bringing it to the podcast.

These shorter episodes won’t happen every Friday, but we wanted to make space to tell you stories and introduce you to friends who are creating incredible music, so AFD’s Friday Faves will pop up in your feed from time to time, and there is no better way to kick this off than with Amy Grant.

Today her brand-new record, The Me That Remains releases. It is the kind of record that makes you want to sit on your porch and listen all the way through. Amy said, “I hope this album feels easy to be with,” and I thought… yes. That’s exactly it. Because that’s true of Amy too. She is easy to be with, but she always brings important things with her.

So whether you’re on your porch, in your car, on a walk, or just trying to make it through your day, I think you’re going to love this conversation.

God made you creative and your gifts have a purpose.

Carl and Laura Lentz walked through infidelity on a really public platform and since 2020 have put in the work towards restoration, redemption, and healing. When they realized there weren’t many books for couples walking through infidelity and betrayal, they felt the invitation to not only tell their story, but share the practical steps that have helped them stay together and heal.

Worship is something we can do anywhere, anytime, but I asked Dwan Hill today why corporate worship and gathering together matters. And you’re going to be so encouraged by his response. I love his heart for the Church and hearing the way he’s been uniquely gifted to help lead us all as we glorify God.

Poetry and liturgies and some of these quieter methods of worship are powerful and for a lot of people - their preferred way of worship.
