Summary

This is Kevin Queen's 10th time on That Sound Fun which basically means he just lapped Hall of Fun status twice!! Today he’s helping pastor us as we get started on this journey to become spiritually stronger. We talk about one of the tensions you might face as we get started talking about spiritual disciples and rhythms. We don’t want any of this to feel like things you need to check off in order to earn something from God, and Kevin has a really helpful way for us to keep that in check. Then we’re going to talk about journaling. If we’re going to spend 18 months talking about ways to get spiritually stronger, what if we document what God’s doing all the way through? Kevin’s a big journaler (I am too), so we talk about his process, how he spends his time with God, and the journaling system that works for him. Remember, none of this is meant to be prescriptive. We’re not asking you to adopt the same plan that every guest uses or that I use. These are descriptive, so you get an idea and take it to God to decide how you want to grow with Him. We also will continue this conversation (and I’ll tell you some of my favorite journaling tips) over on our Substack. We’d love to hear from you in the comments there too.

0:00.0	Hi, friends and welcome to another episode of That Sounds Fun, spiritually stronger. I'm your host,
0:17.6	Annie F. Downs, and I am so happy to be here with you today. It's also Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday. So here in the U.S., many of us are off work today, and we hope that makes space for you to honor the work that he did and for us to acknowledge the work that still needs to be done. If you're listening to this while you're at home or at the gym or in your car, thanks for bringing
0:37.5	us along in your day.
0:39.4	Over the next 18 months, we're going to talk about practices and spiritual rhythms that
0:45.1	will help us become spiritually stronger.
0:47.7	You'll hear me say this a lot.
0:49.2	We live in a world where we cannot control very much at all.
0:53.5	And in a world you cannot control,
0:55.3	you can be spiritually stronger. And if you ever wanted to be better about documenting what
1:00.8	God's doing in your life or been curious about journaling, this is how we want to start
1:06.4	all these practices and rhythms, as get a real conversation in front of us about the power of
1:11.9	recording God's movements in our lives. I think you're really going to love today's conversation.
1:17.3	But before we dive in, I want to tell about one of our incredible partners, Our Place.
1:21.3	Whether your meal prepping on a Sunday or making your morning eggs or cooking dinner for your
1:25.0	family, you're going to love the cookware from our place.
1:28.6	Not only are they the best nonstick pans, but they're completely free from toxins.
1:32.7	So many pots and pans and appliances out there are still made with forever chemicals,
1:37.1	which none of us want in our food, but our place has changed the game.
1:41.7	Their cookware is also so cute. Truly, there are so many fun colors.
1:45.6	Their cookware set is the perfect place to start. You save $150 when you grab the bundle instead of
1:51.2	buying individual pieces. And you will love their iconic Always Pan, too. It's their best-selling
1:56.5	10-1 pan from brazing and searing to frying and baking. It does it all. And eggs glide out
