Send us Fan Mail The Holy Spirit is often misunderstood. Many associate it with fear or the unknown, thinking of it as a ghost or something scary. But here's the truth: the Holy Spirit is not something to fear.  The Bible tells us that we aren’t given a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-discipline. This is a comforting reminder that the Holy Spirit is here to guide us, not frighten us.  We often forget that the Holy Spirit is a gift from God, meant to empower us in our daily lives. It’s not just about those big, dramatic moments; it’s about the everyday peace and guidance we receive.  As we dive deeper into this topic, remember: it’s okay to seek the Holy Spirit, even if it feels a little weird. The real weirdness lies in our resistance to accepting that power. Let's embrace it together! In this episode, Andi has on special guest, India Goostree to dive into this deep topic. This episode will be a part of a series that will launch every friday.

Send us Fan Mail  Surrendering your child to drive alone? It's harder than it sounds.  As a mom of twins turning 16, Andi discusses feeling all the big emotions surrounding her oldest twins turning 16. Andi also discusses the importance of surrendering your burdens, fears, and anxieties all at the feet of Jesus.  Sometimes we have to let go, even when it feels impossible. If we continue carrying around what was never meant for us to carry, we will end up worn out and worn thin.  Surrender isn’t just about giving up control; it’s about trusting God with our deepest fears.

Send us Fan Mail After a season of stepping back, Andi is finally back — and she’s sharing what God has been building behind the scenes. In this episode, Andi catches listeners up on her new book Purpose Over Perfection, becoming a host mom unexpectedly, and stepping into speaking at Teach Them Diligently. But the heart of this episode is about something deeper: calling. What do you do when God places something on your heart… but life feels chaotic? What happens when the vision feels cloudy? What if fear, distraction, or delay tries to pull you off the wall? Through the story of Nehemiah, Andi reminds us that opposition does not cancel assignment. Chaos does not cancel calling. And just because the water feels murky doesn’t mean God isn’t leading you forward. If you’ve ever felt tempted to come down off the wall — this one is for you. Key Takeaways • You don’t need full clarity to take the next step. • If God called you to it, He will provide for it. • Opposition is often confirmation. • Delay is the enemy’s strategy when destruction fails. • You can build with one hand and hold a sword in the other. • If you’ve come down off the wall, you can go back. If this episode encouraged you, share it with a friend who needs to hear it. And stay tuned — this season is going to be powerful. 📖 Purpose Over Perfection launches in April.
