In this episode, I am thrilled to talk with my friend, Andi Andrew, author of the upcoming book “Braving Change,” set to release next Tuesday. Andi shares her inspiring journey of faith, healing, and embracing change, offering profound insights into the transformative power of surrendering to God’s plan.
Andi’s journey began in 1998 when she came to Christ, experiencing radical change after growing up in a religious cult. She candidly shares her struggles with codependency and the pursuit of love, highlighting how surrendering to God led to her freedom story.
Throughout the years, Andi has experienced a sanctification process, continuously becoming more like Jesus. She opens up about harboring unforgiveness towards her mother, a pivotal moment during her first pregnancy where the Holy Spirit prompted her to confront this issue, leading to healing and reconciliation.
Andi delves into the importance of healing in friendships with women and the ongoing journey of surrender and obedience to Christ. Drawing from her previous books, including “She is Free,” “Fake or Follower,” and “Friendship, It’s Complicated,” Andi emphasizes the significance of authenticity and vulnerability in relationships.
“Braving Change” explores the different types of change we encounter, from transitions we ask for to those that happen to us. Andi reflects on Jesus’s teachings in the Sermon on the Mount, urging listeners to build their lives on a solid foundation and embrace growth and trust in God’s leading.
Tune in today as Andi Andrew shares her wisdom on navigating change, embracing transitions, and finding strength and resilience in surrendering to God’s plan. Then go out and preorder "Braving Change, which comes out Tuesday!
