Hi friends, welcome to another episode of that sounds fun. I'm your host Annie F. Downs. I'm really happy to be here with you today. We've got a great show in store. Happy Wednesday. It's our second week of Monday Wednesday Friday shows.

And we are loving getting to bring you so many great conversations even more. I love hearing your excitement about all these shows come in your way and tour starts tomorrow. That sounds about tour starts tomorrow. I can't believe it.

Before we dive into today's show, let me take a quick moment to tell you about one of our incredible partners, better help. You'll know how I feel about counseling. I just believe it really matters for us to prioritize our mental and emotional health.

If there are things going on that are causing you to feel stuck or that are interfering with your health and happiness, better help is here for you. Better help will assess your needs and match you with your own license professional therapist who you can then connect with in a convenient safe and private online environment.

I love that you can send your therapist a message anytime and that you'll get timely and thoughtful responses. Plus you can start communicating within 24 hours. You can get to a weekly video or phone sessions.

It really matters to the team at better help that they facilitate great therapeutic matches. So they make it easy and free to change counselors if needed. That matters to me.

And you can also check out the testimonials posted daily on their site to help you get a feel for how it all works and how it's helping people.

Better help offers services for clients all over the world and they have therapist specializing so many different disciplines, which means that the right help is available for what you're dealing with.

There are license professional counselors who specialize in things like depression, grief, stress, self esteem, family stuff, anxiety, gosh, all sorts of topics.

It's not self help and it's not a crisis hotline, but better help offers convenient professional affordable counseling and anything you share is confidential.

I'm really excited about today's episode because my friend Sam Collier who you may know from his book, a greater story that came out last summer or maybe his greater story with

Sam Collier podcast. Those are all ways you might know him, but did you know that Sam is now the lead pastor of Hillsong Atlanta.

It's a really interesting time to start leading a new Hillsong church and Sam and I jump right on in. We ain't messing around. I want y'all to hear the kind of leader Sam is and what God is doing in the church.

So I called him. They started church on Sunday was their first Sunday meeting. We recorded this the day before that. So you're hearing us talk right before their church launched, but it launched over the weekend.

So here's my conversation with pastor Sam Collier. I like saying pastor.

Sam Collier let's jump in. Let's just two feet. We're going all the way in. Everybody already knows we're friends. Happy Wednesday.

100%. We are here. I can't believe I made it. This is like I feel like Steph Curry drafted into the NBA.

Wow. Wow. Well, I hope you're Steph Curry. I hope you're the Steph Curry of Christianity. Steph Curry is the Steph Curry of Christianity.

No, this is what happens when you come on any downs show you get drafted. You didn't know what this is going. You thought I was talking about Hillsong. I'm talking about you.
