Summary

If you’re trying to sort out some hard things this fall, if you’re trying to figure out what you need to store up for the winter, if you’re wanting to hang out to the changing leaves as long as possible before they die…. Well, I really think you’re going to love this one. Today we'll answer the question, “What is the fall and how do I define it in my life?” Pastor Mike Kelsey's wise voice is helping us think about the beauty we can find in the fall even when things feel like they’re changing so much. We’re starting to look at what things to store up for the winter and ultimately asking God what it looks like to flourish in every single season, including the fall. We’re on page 107 in your TSF Seasons Guidebook (You can order and download your copy at anniefdowns.com/seasons). ALSO, we could use your input as we think about the podcast next year! Would you fill that out this survey today and help us as we build and dream for next year? We’re going to choose one of you to send a $150 gift card of your choice as a thank you! . . . . .

0:12.6	Hi!
0:13.0	Hi, friends.
0:13.5	Welcome to another episode of That Sounds Fun, the seasons.
0:16.3	The first episode of the fall, can you believe it?
0:19.6	It is finally, officially fall. Our fourth season of the fall. Can you believe it? It is finally officially fall, our fourth season
0:23.8	of this series. That is crazy. I'm your host, Annie F. Downs. I'm so happy to be here with you.
0:29.3	If you're trying to sort out some hard things this fall, or if you're trying to figure out
0:33.0	what you need to store up for the winter, if you're wanting to hang out with the changing
0:36.6	leaves as long as possible before they die, well, number one, me too. And number two, I really think you're going to
0:42.0	love this conversation. Today on the show, we're answering the question, what is the fall and how do I
0:47.0	define it in my life? And as we kick off the fall, we could also really use your input as we are
0:52.0	planning for the podcast for next year. We've linked a survey
0:55.8	in the show notes for you. Would you please take a second and fill that out today and help us as we
1:00.3	build and dream for next year? We're going to choose one of you to send a $150 gift card of your
1:05.6	choice to as a thank you. So head to the show notes and you'll see the link to fill out the
1:10.2	survey. It should literally take you like minutes. But we would love if you would do that. Before we dive in, I want to tell you about one of our incredible partners. This show is sponsored by BetterHelp. If you're looking for some input from the people around you, I know it's easy to find ourselves asking for advice from the internet, the Amazon delivery driver, our favorite local barista,
1:28.5	but not everyone is a therapist. So when it's time to really get some helpful input as you
1:33.1	navigate big decisions or challenging relationships, consider getting support from a
1:37.4	credentialed therapist online with BetterHelp. You know counseling has been a game changer for me.
1:43.0	BetterHelp gives you a short questionnaire to help identify your needs and preferences, and their 10-plus years of experience means they typically match you with the right therapist the first time.
1:53.1	Plus, all of your sessions are online, so it's easy and convenient for you.
