EPISODE 90: CHATTIN’ WITH ANNIE DOWNS!
ABOUT ANNIE F. DOWNS
Annie F. Downs is an author and speaker based in Nashville, Tennessee. Flawed but funny, she uses her writing to highlight the everyday goodness of a real and present God.
Annie is the author of Let’s All Be Brave, a book for men and women about the power we each have to make a difference on this planet. She also has two books for teens: Perfectly Unique, a spiritual growth book for high school and college girls, and Speak Love, a challenge to women on how to use their words to make a difference in the world.
By weaving together personal stories, humor, and Scripture, she invites those reading to experience fulfilled lives with a God who made them on purpose and loves them deeply. You can learn more about her books here.
While she loves writing- books, blogs, articles, thank-you notes- Annie also enjoys traveling around the world speaking to young women, college students, and adults.You can learn more about her speaking events here.
Annie is a huge fan of bands with banjos, glitter, her community of friends, boiled peanuts, and football games.
A MESSAGE FROM MONICA:
So here’s what I can tell you about Annie — she’s going to be someone you instantly want to be BFFs with, and you’ll be tempted to hotfoot it over to Nashville so she can take you to her favorite places to eat. She’s witty, she’s down-to-earth, and she’s authentic. And y’all know that’s a buzz word for us around here.
I read Looking for Lovely in about two days. Granted, they were two days in which I was trapped in a minivan with five family members, but two days nonetheless. You just can’t help it — Annie’s book is filled with such transparency and vulnerability that you’re captivated and eager to see how God displays beauty through the pages of her story. And boy, does He show up and show off.
I hope you enjoy my chat with her, and definitely make sure to check out her website, and get yourself a copy of Looking for Lovely and the Bible study, too! There’s one for adults (women 18+) and teens (12-18). It’s perfect to do as a mother-daughter study, FYI, and I am totally planning to do it with my girl this summer.
