    Annie and Eddie Keep Talking About Cold Plunges and Holiday Decor - Episode 956
    Jan 30 2025
    Today on the show, I get to keep talking with your pal and mine, Eddie Kaufholz. He needs no introduction around here, but do we cover the hard-hitting questions like does a snowman count as Christmas decorations or can they be part of just general winter decorations? We also talk a little bit about my new kids book coming out on grief and loss that I wrote with my sister, Tatum Green. You can find more info and preorder that here: Where Did TJ Go? If you’re following along in the TSF Seasons Guidebook, there are no note-taking pages for this one BECAUSE WHY WOULD YOU NEED TO DOCUMENT THIS NONSENSE. But. There is a nice crossword puzzle on page 16 so if you want something to do with your hands while you listen, we’ve got you covered there! . . . . . Want to watch this episode on YouTube?

    Today on the show, I get to talk with Pastor Tyler Staton from Bridgetown Church in Portland, Oregon. He’s also the National Director of 24-7 Prayer USA and you know we love to talk about prayer around here so Tyler such is such a deep well on the topic. We’re going to talk about where God is in the winter and as we do we’re going to talk about his relationship with prayer and how he’s navigated praying in the middle of pain and a lot of unknown. Tyler also has a new book releasing about the Holy Spirit and it is SO GOOD. It’s called The Familiar Stranger and this is one you’re really going to love. If you’re taking notes in your TSF Seasons Guidebook, we’re on page 15.

    When Winter is Breaking Your Heart with Lindsay Sherbondy- Episode 952
    Jan 13 2025
    Today I talk with my long-time friend Lindsay Sherbondy (or you may know her as Lindsay Letters). She’s a full-time artist, living just outside of Madison, Wisconsin with her husband, Dugan, and their two kids, Eva and Phoenix. Their world was turned upside down in August of 2019 when Eva sustained a traumatic brain injury, and as you can imagine, every day since has presented itself with new challenges and new beauty. Today Lindsay is generously sharing their story and it was an honor to get to hear her talk about the broken-heartedness of what they’ve walked through and I think you’re going to feel that too. If you’re taking notes in your TSF Seasons Guidebook, we’re on page 11. Shop Lindsay's amazing art at lindsayletters.co . . . . .

  • Epiphany 2025

    Epiphany 2025
    Jan 6 2025
    Y’all know I love a meeting- whereas most people say “that meeting could have been an email” I tend towards “that email could have been a meeting”... so this is the one time a year I feel like we get to have a meeting. Which brings my soul joy. Epiphany is when I get to stop the show for a minute and instead of you listening to an episode of TSF, you are listening to what is going on behind the scenes, the plans, the people, the direction. It’s also a day I always want to see and celebrate, pause and think, and invite you to do the same thing. . . . . . Get your TSF Seasons Guidebook here: https://www.anniefdowns.com/seasons/ . . . . .
