Hi friends. Welcome to another episode of that sounds fun. Happy Thursday. I'm your host, Annie FDounds.

I'm so happy to be here with you today. We have got a great show. Oh, this one is this one's different than any other show

we've ever done. Y'all are going to love it. Before we dive into today's conversation, I'd love to tell you about one of our amazing partners, crew. Y'all know this about me, but the Bible is part of my daily life. I overslept today. So I will tell you it was not part of today's daily life, but most days.

It's words have changed me and I am really, really grateful. I know that's true for a lot of you as well. So imagine for a second that you couldn't get a Bible that you didn't have the resources to allow for that or that you couldn't hop on Amazon and get one

into your house by like tomorrow. Take it one step further and imagine that you aren't even allowed to have one. Honestly, sometimes we forget that there are people lots of people all around the world who simply can't get a Bible. That's why we're thrilled. I mean, thrilled to partner with crew. Crew is one of the largest evangelical organizations with over 25,000 missionaries in almost every country.

You may remember from the other two times he's been on episode 52 and episode 285. Make sure you go back and listen to those. He's an amazing author, a podcaster and a speaker not to mention a great friend of ours. But what a treat to also be joined by the girls and co authors of his new book your new playlist.

The students guide to tapping into the superpower of mindset Ellie is a freshman business major at Stanford University in Birmingham and McCray is a high school junior here in Franklin just outside of Nashville.

Their book is a companion to John's book soundtracks that's meant to help teens tackle overthinking by replacing self-defeating thoughts with a positive healthy mindset.

I'm so proud of them and you are going to love this conversation. I know this book is going to matter to so many people and I'm thrilled for you to get to know them. So here's my conversation with McCray Ellie and John A. Cuff.
