Summary

Pretty often, JP Pokluda's name crosses in front of me, so I've known of him for a long time. But this was our first time getting to be friends. But I knew when I was gathering up experts on the next generation, he was one of the dudes I wanted to speak into this series. So far our experts have been talking to us about middle and high schoolers (mostly), but JP is here to talk college (mostly). :) We're also gonna hit a few other topics I think you will love- like hearing God, accountability, and JP's next steps. His new book Welcome to Adulting: Navigating Faith, Friendship, Finances, and the Future is SUCH a gift for anyone walking through that young adult life phase. . . . . . http://anniefdowns.com #thatsoundsfunpodcast ... join in the conversation wherever hashtags are welcome. :) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

0:00.0	Hi friends, welcome to another episode of That Sounds Fun. I'm your host Annie F. Down.
0:16.4	So happy to be with you here on another Monday. I love doing Monday and Thursday shows. I hope
0:21.6	you all are enjoying those as well. The music in the background is from our good friend
0:25.4	Mr. John McLaughlin, his new album, Anxton Grace is a very favorite of mine. I hope you've got
0:30.0	a minute. Our series continues today. We've been doing conversations about the next generation. Amy
0:36.0	Bird was on last Monday. Last Thursday was Drew Hill author of Alongside. And today we have JP
0:42.8	Pecluda who has been running the porch ministry in Dallas, Texas at Watermark Church for years and
0:49.9	years and years. There is a new story. His life is getting ready to tell that I can't wait for
0:54.4	Yada here because he actually says it on the podcast for the first time ever, which is great. But
0:58.5	JP to me is one of the voices that has been shaping college students alongside Louis Giglio,
1:05.1	Shelley Giglio and passion. JP's been one of those other voices that to me just continues to
1:11.0	speak into college students as they are figuring out what adult life is going to look like. In fact,
1:15.6	his book that came out in September is called Welcome to Adolting, Navigating Faith,
1:20.0	Friendship, Finances and the Future. And it is an excellent book. If you have a friend who is
1:24.9	in college, if you yourself are in college, or if you are doing ministry to people in college,
1:29.7	this is the book. This is the book that they need. And you guys know the rules. The only people
1:34.4	that are you're ever going to hear on the show are people that are friends with or want to be
1:37.4	friends with. And in JP and I have kind of run in the same circle but had never really met before.
1:41.4	So now we are friends. You know how I do it. I like make them stay friends with me after they come
1:45.6	on the show. And so I am so honored today for you to get to hear this conversation and to get
1:50.3	to have this conversation with my new friend, JP Peaclida.
