Y'all are not ready for all the ways that our minds are about to be blown with all of the knowledge, research, wisdom and inspiration Dr. Jeremiah Johnston brings in this episode! We could have gone on for HOURS talking about Jesus--His death and resurrection--and all the evidence to support them. More than that, though, he shares with us all that the truth of the Gospel means for us, and it's just beautiful. I can't wait for you to get to know Dr. Jeremiah Johnston, to grab his new book Body of Proof, and to drop all the mind-blown emojis when you hear all he has to share!

It's safe to say that this conversation with Nashville SC Captain and 2022 U.S. Mens National team member Walker Zimmerman and his wife Sally is an absolute dream! We talk about how to navigate change that's both difficult and exciting, what it looks like to achieve your dreams (this answer may surprise you!), and how to deal with public criticism. Also, you just MIGHT hear me ask them a question no one's ever asked them before! Their answer inspires me and teaches me, and it's going to make you guys love them just as much as we do!

One of our favorite guests on the podcast, Addison Bevere is back! Y'all KNOW we love to go in on prayer! We talk all about living a robust life of connection with God, feeling disappointed in God, and having the unhurried space to sit, hear, receive, and respond. I can't wait for you all to hear this episode and read his book Words with God.

I can't wait for you to hear this episode. My new friend Jasmine Holmes is in the studio to talk all about what exactly shame is and the Gospel antidote for it. Jasmine's Christ-centered and Gospel-driven book, Never Cast Out is truly one of the finest books on shame I've ever read. It is powerful, and impactful, and incredibly brave. Don't miss Jasmine's next book Crowned with Glory which comes out this September.

He's one of our favorite's around here! Pastor Mark Batterson is here to talk with us about thinking of our words as giving gifts, the importance of being involved in a local church, and when God incubates a dream for many years. Also, how about that theme of confession we've been having lately?! I'm so grateful for Pastor Mark and his voice in our lives. Be sure to check out his new book Please, Sorry, Thanks: The Three Words That Change Everything.

Our dear friend, Charles Martin is back on the pod with his pastor and friend (but no relation), Joby Martin. We talked about God not answering prayers in the way that we want Him to, what was going on in Judas' mind/heart during Holy Week, and their new book Anything Is Possible: How Nine Miracles of Jesus Reveal God’s Love for You. Also, be sure to check out Charles' new book Son of Man. You know I can't resist a chance to talk about miracles and how well Jesus loves!

Please note that this conversation was recorded just hours after the recent tragic mass shooting at a Nashville school. We do talk about this tragedy throughout the show, so I wanted to let you know beforehand, in case your heart is tender towards this right now (as is all of ours). We are praying for our friends, family, and community to be able to have space to grieve together and care for one another.

As a reminder, That Sounds Fun will not release any new episodes during Holy Week next week. We'll see you back here after Easter!

Y'all ask us to talk about friendship on the pod ALL.THE.TIME. I'm so happy that my friend, Laura Tremaine is here to teach us about married women and single women being friends with each other, feeling shame around ending friendships, and putting things on pause. Laura's new book The Life Council is so invitational and I can't wait for you guys to read it.
