Annie's MiniBFF Podcast

Annie's MiniBFF Podcast

In March 2020 when the world started closing doors, Annie F. Downs opened one for her youngest group of friends. She started reading a picture book each week on her Instagram account, and SO MANY friends tuned in. To continue with her love for reading to her miniBFFs, Annie is now sharing stories from her favorite book ever – The Bible. The miniBFF podcast will allow kids (and their grownups) a chance to grow in their faith as she brings the stories of the Bible to life.
