What do we Remain In? with guest speaker Andi Andrew

Welcome to the BE ENCOURAGED! Podcast! I am your host, Jackie Brindle and you are listening to Episode # 94!

I am so excited for you to get to know Andi Andrew, my guest speaker on the show today. Ever since I heard her speak at a women’s conference a year ago, I knew I needed to have her on the BE ENCOURAGED! Podcast. She had a way with being so down to earth, humble, and SO relatable to every women in the room. And that’s hard to do!

As women —- we compare ourselves, judge, and gossip. And she wasn’t afraid to poke holes in that and call us out. She knew we needed to break down some walls in order to really speak to our hearts. And I love that she wasn’t afraid to take it there.

Literally, this conversation felt like I was talking with a friend I've known for years because I have read/listened to her book, “Fake or Follower” as well as listened to her Podcast called Coffee with Andi, and as a guest on some other podcasts I’ve listened to.

Andi is an author of several books in which we will unpack a few of those today with her. She is also a mom to four wonderful kids and has been married to her sweet husband for a number of years. She was a leader of her church and now with her new move to the South, she is taking a back seat and writing more again!

But in this episode, you will be challenged to think on all sorts of things as we walk through relationships and as we follow Jesus. (If faith isn’t your thing —- hang in there —- you will love what she has to say!)

Having this conversation had me really asking myself —- am I a fake or a follower?

Am I over complicating relationships? Am I being a leech or a life giver? Where does my mind and thoughts remain in? Am I hooked into Jesus or the horrible conversation that I had yesterday? 

Lord, show me ---- what I should remain in? What am I wounded by that I am remaining in? 

Am I humbling seeking out what’s the common denominator in my own life and how can I humbly ask God to help me walk through changes, see the lies, and  I repent of the things that are not producing fruit. How can I remain in God's love and grace --- daily!? 

Ok — I know it’s a lot but let’s jump in the deep end, today!

If you are ready to take some serious cannonballs into the deep end today in your faith walk and be encouraged in your mindset and in your relationships today ... then —- this conversation might end up there for you.

So literally let's jump in, grab your cup of coffee, get on your walk or run but wherever you are BE ENCOURAGED!
