Hi friends, welcome to another episode of That Sounds Fun. I'm your host, Annie F. Downs.

And I'm so glad to be here with you today. We have had a couple of weeks in the row of

really fun and exciting podcasts and I'm so grateful I'm having the best time. I think

sounds fun. Is you're getting to meet my friends? And I'm introducing my friends to my

friends, which is one of my very favorite things to do. And Russ has been a friend for a

while. And I've loved watching him pastor so many people in our community. Myself included.

It's been really, really beautiful. He's kind of been that guy that maybe people outside

of Nashville haven't seen, but people in Nashville know exactly who he is. He's just a really

wise, honest, strong voice in the lives of a lot of people, including me. And I am very,
