We’re so glad y'all love these episodes with Eddie as much as we do! If you’re new around here, our friend Eddie Kaufholz has been joining us every month (well except June) as we’re recapping the last 10 years of pop culture and our lives in honor of the 10 year anniversary of That Sounds Fun podcast. We’ve now made it all the way to 2019 and as always, we spent about 8 minutes recapping 2019 and 45 minutes just chatting LIKE.WE.DO. You get it. Is Eddie really a spy? Did I almost get eaten by a mountain lion? And of course we HAD to talk about the upcoming Olympics. 

Check out our previous recap episodes.

What a summer we are having on the pod! Y'all KNOW we love talking about the Gospels! Which is why I was so excited to talk to my friend, Rich Villodas, about his latest book, The Narrow Path, which is all about the Sermon on the Mount. I absolutely loved this book and I think you'll love it too. The work Rich does around the Gospels is such a gift! We also had some great conversations around why truthfulness matters, what it looks like to follow Jesus, and living in a post Christian city. Get your notebooks and note apps out because this is note taking episode!

Today on the show we get to talk about the Enneagram Head Triad which is made up of enneagram 5s, 6s, and 7s. Our enneagram expert today is my friend, Ross Slough, who identifies as an enneagram 5. You’re going to love him. Our enneagram 6 is represented by my friend, Hannah, and I’m sharing about my experience as an enneagram 7. What we can learn about ourselves and others’ types WILL impact our relationships for the better. That’s why we’ve loved talking about the enneagram in regards to how it affects us relationally. It’s been so helpful!

EnneaSummer is BACK and this year, we’re talking about the triads and relationships. And if you’re already like…”what are the triads?” Don’t worry. We’re going to talk ALL about it today. Ashton Whitmoyer-Ober (you may know her as @enneagramashton) is going to help us lay the foundation for this series before we bring on our friends to talk about their numbers and experiences. If you loved this conversation, I think you'll love Ashton's book The Enneagram for Relationships. It's such a great resource!

Friends…EnneaSummer is BACK!!! We’re kicking off EnneaSummer 2024 talking about the enneagram triads AND relationships. In this series, we get to hear from people who identify with each Enneagram number…these are some my friends who are sharing their personal experiences as the enneagram type they identify as, and in every episode, an Enneagram expert sits down with us as well to give us incredible insight on the three triads: the Gut Triad (which are 8s, 9,s and 1s), the Heart Triad (2s, 3s, and 4s) and the Head Triad (5s, 6s, and 7s). Then we talk about how understanding all of this can help us have healthier relationships. It’s so fascinating!

When we were thinking about who could usher us into our summer sabbath and help us really think about  resting well, we knew it had to be one of our favorite pastors and leaders, John Eldredge. I'm so grateful for John and the wisdom he always shares as we walk into the next season. We talk a lot about taking care of the condition of our soul, asking God what we need this summer, and what life with God looks like. If you aren’t listening to John's podcast, Wild At Heart, you know I don’t like to “should” people around here, but you have GOT TO CHECK IT OUT. It is seriously a don’t miss podcast for me and they even have an episode about summer soul care that would be another great one to listen to.

Remember that we won't have any new episodes releasing next week but there are PLENTY of episodes (897 to be exact) that you can go back and listen to. That Sounds Fun will be back on July 8 with one of your favorite series!

As we're resting well, if you're looking for a good summer read, here are a few of my favorite books by John Eldredge.

• The Sacred Romance
• Get Your Life Back
• Beautiful Outlaw

Today I get to talk to my new friend, Emily Morrow about all things clean eating and toxins and, well…all things crunchy. I’m SO fascinated by all we can learn about the food we eat, the products we use, and why talking about our physical health matters. Y’all know I want to live to be a 100 AND I want to keep learning forever, so I’m fascinated by people like Emily who can teach us things we might not know. Her new book, Really Very Crunchy is a GREAT resource, and I just loved getting to meet Emily. Isn’t this such a fun summer conversation?!

Over the years, there have been been so many friends of the show that have graciously helped us navigate real issues in our culture, especially, in our churches. We know racial division is a prevalent issue in the Church and the world today, yet God has promised us a unified future. Chuck Mingo and Troy Jackson are the founders of UNDIVIDED, an organization built to unite and ignite people for racial healing. And today we get to talk about it. In their new book, Living Undivided, Chuck and Troy invite readers to take action in the story of reconciliation that God is writing. Y’all, this book is a really helpful roadmap for reconciliation and healing and I think you're going to find this conversation thought-provoking and beneficial as we celebrate Juneteenth this week.
