That Sounds Fun with Annie F. Downs

Today on the show we get dive into the Gut Triad with my friends Katie, KatyBoat, and our enneagram expert, Dayo Ajanaku. The Gut Triad is made up of enneagram 8s, 9s, and 1s, so our guests each represent one of those numbers and are here to talk about their learnings and experiences when it comes to understanding the way those in the gut triad relate to themselves and others. Whether you identify as an 8, 9, or 1 OR there’s someone in your life in the Gut Triad, you’re going to love learning more about our friends and how they relate to the world.

We also have a free download for you that gives you a chance to process through some of the same questions we’re asking our experts and guests in this series. You can find that, as well as a list of other enneagram resources from all of our experts, at anniefdowns.com/enneasummer.

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.

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.

Y’all, I’m so excited for you to hear this one…especially as we head into Father’s Day weekend! One of our favorite friends (and Dads!), Willie Robertson is in the studio talking all about sharing your faith, connecting people to the Bible, and why we love Nashville. Although Willie might be best known as a member of the Duck Dynasty, he is most passionate about his role as a Gospeler. Over the years, he has shared the Good News of Jesus with others and he encourages us to do the same in this brand new book, Gospeler. It’s such a helpful resource as we keep stretching and growing in how we share the gospel and talk about our faith.

I loved how the book of Acts weaved through this entire conversation! Check out our Let's Read the Gospels series about the book of Acts on our Spotify Playlist.

So, here’s where I left you in November. I knew, part way through my time here last fall, that I wasn’t done yet. That God wasn’t done yet. That this story wasn’t done yet.

If you have thoughts to share, there’s a great place for that on instagram… @thatsoundsfunpodcast. I’d love to hear anything that came up for you in this episode and any suggestions of topics you’d like to hear future episodes about.
