  • My favorite podcast!!!

    I have been listening for about 7 years. Listening to Annie is a like having a great conversation with a good friend. She is so genuine and fun, but also loves Jesus BIG and encourages all of us to do the same through the conversations with the guests she has on. I highly recommend!!

  • Boston here

    I just wanted to say I loved the Annie and Eddie episode talking about baseball. I’m born and raised outside of Boston. Went to school and lived in Boston. I saw the Red Sox win the world series in 2004. I’ve never seen so many grown men cry! But Eddie is right, you need to experience Fenway at least once in your life! The people are what make it.
