What sounds fun to you? It's a question author and That Sounds Fun podcaster Annie F. Downs finds herself asking pretty often. Annie has a knack for finding fun and joy in places you might not think to look: in our spiritual lives, in our harder moments. Annie shares how seeking joy is kind of like riding a roller coaster: when you keep yourself open to experiencing fun, even if you don't know what's next, you're in for a real treat—and that includes enjoying a richer connection with God. Quotes
"When we're having fun, it's really easy to put on the back burner, not make disappear, but put on the backburner the things that are hard and the things that are painful and laugh together and celebrate together and have an opportunity to thank God even on the hard days." —Annie F. Downs
"It's an opportunity and a real gift to really practice the presence of fun in your life." —Annie F. Downs
"I think the better we get to know God, the more we see a lot of sides of His personality, and if we were really made in His image than the people that we love and love, being around that are funny and that are fun and that are full of joy reflect a part of God's personality. So everyone that we meet and every experience we have emotionally is reflected as we are made in the image of God." —Annie F. Downs
