My friend Heather saw Ryan Hall's new book on my desk- Run The Mile You Are In- and after she told me about him for a few minutes, I thought, "yep, that's our kind of guy" and I knew I wanted to have him on the show. I'm so glad, too. HE IS AWESOME. Y'all are going to love this conversation all about health, wellness, PERSEVERANCE (which you know I LOVE) and the power of God in our every day lives.
 I'm so glad we get tto call Ryan a friend now AND don't you KNOW we'll be cheering for Sara Hall like crazy as she tries out for the 2020 Olympics!

The Gospel of Mark with Esau McCaulley - Episode 877

My lovely friend--Broadway star, singer-songwriter, and actor--Laura Osnes shares a behind-the-scenes look at being IN the scenes of a movie. More than that, she’s so generous with the sweet and the difficult aspects of the story that has brought her here. We all have those right?! Laura helps us engage the good and the hard with honest faith, and it’s such a gift. Her new movie Just In Time is absolutely well done, a fun watch, emotional and thought-provoking. I can’t wait to hear what your favorite moments are! And be sure to vote for her country song “Getaway” in the International Songwriting Competition!

Honest Faith and Honest Movie-making with Laura Osnes - Episode 876

As we continue our Let’s Read the Gospels series that we’re doing every Monday in April here on That Sounds Fun, today we get to take a deep dive into the book of Luke with a pastor and Bible teacher that I deeply love. Bethany Allen is the Pastor of Spiritual Formation and Leadership Development at Bridgetown Church in downtown Portland, Oregan. Y'all are just going to adore her!
