Hi friends, welcome to another episode of That Sounds Fun. This is your host Annie F. Downs.

And I am smiling ear to ear about this episode today. I think you are going to have so,

well, so much fun. Just just call it, call it like it is. You're going to have so much fun.

Of course, our background music is our sweet friend Ellie Hokeham and it's from her new album Red Seed Road.

Summer is in full swing now friends. I just spent the weekend at the lake with my pals.

We are gearing up for the That Sounds Fun weekend in July. By the way, if you need to know more about that,

AnnieF. Downs.com and look for the banner that says That Sounds Fun Weekend. And we have got some tickets left.

So if you want to join us at the end of July, but that is what we are working on over at Downs Books Incorporated.

We are excited about this summer. And I am excited to introduce you to the guest for today's episode.

His name is Chris McClarney and he wanted me to tell you from the outset, he's a man.

He said the people at Chick-fil-A think he's a woman sometimes because of his voice, but I'm telling you, he's a man.

I sat across from him. He's a dude. So Chris McClarney is a worship leader, a worship pastor here in Nashville at Church of the City.

And just an all around good dude. I like think the world of him, his album, everything and nothing less has been

important to me really for the last maybe 10, 12 months. And I have just loved it. And so I was thrilled that he

agreed to be on the podcast today. And we are both Annie Graham-7s and you are going to hear it and you

are going to know it. That this is like, I'm not kidding y'all. I've never met someone that I was like,

this feels like separated at birth kind of stuff. And that is how I feel about Chris McClarney. So I'm so excited

for you to hear this interview and you tell me after you hear it, tell me if you believe me,

it finished true that it feels like this guy and I were separated at birth. So enjoy this conversation

between two sevens, two sevens, who are really Annie Graham-7s, me and Chris McClarney.

Okay, sorry, are you ready for this? I mean the podcast is called That Sounds Fun.

Oh, I love that. Because we literally have one goal. The time fun.
