Summary

After I read Chris Singleton's book, Different: A Story About Loving Your Neighbor, for a Monday night #miniBFFBookClub on instagram live, I knew I wanted to have a longer conversation with him. He's an incredibly gifted speaker with a heartbreaking and hope-filled story and I think you're gonna love this conversation.

Here is the link to Chris's Kickstarter for Your Life Matters. Don't miss out on this one!

0:00.0	Hi friends, welcome to another episode of that sounds fun. I'm your host Annie F. Downs.
0:18.8	I'm so happy to be here with you today. We have got a great show in store for you. As you
0:24.5	know on Monday nights at six o'clock central, I do a mini BFF book club on my Insta Story. All it
0:32.0	started during quarantine. All I do is read a picture book out loud from six to about six 20.
0:38.5	It saves on my IGTV if you ever want to go back and watch it later. And it was just something I was
0:43.2	doing for my friends, kids, and it stuck around even though I'm not quarantined to my house any more
0:49.3	full time and we are not all staying at home quite as much as we were. So it's every Monday night
0:54.0	at six p.m. And you can go watch it at Annie F. Downs. Well, a couple of months ago, one of you guys
1:00.3	actually mailed me a book called Different, a story about loving your neighbor. And it's by an
1:06.0	author named Chris Singleton. And I really loved the book. In fact, it just came out this summer.
1:12.0	I loved it so much. I did a little research on Chris. I learned some incredible things about his
1:16.4	life. And I think you're really going to enjoy this conversation. It honors him and his family, his mom,
1:22.7	and just a lot of people that have led him to where he is today. So I think you're really going
1:28.8	to enjoy this conversation with author and speaker Chris Singleton.
1:38.4	Okay, we're going. This is the best part, Chris, of having someone who already does a lot of
1:43.2	speaking and who has done a lot of broadcasting. And you're like, let's just go. Let's just do it.
1:47.3	Exactly. Let's do it. Okay, I got to tell you a rule about that. That sounds fun podcast to
1:53.8	prep you about what is about to happen is that we only have two kinds of people on the show.
2:00.1	It is only people that I'm already friends with or people that I want to be friends with. So
2:06.3	you've kind of gotten yourself in a situation now. I'm glad I'd love to be friends with you as
2:10.4	well. I'm happy to be in that way. This is what happens. Okay, do you know how I got a copy of your
2:15.7	kids book different? No, I don't. I remember you. I mean, obviously I watched you when you
