In this episode, Annie talks with Tullian Tchividjian, the grandson of Billy Graham, and an author and preacher in his own right. Tullian calls himself the “black sheep” of the family, dropping out of school and leaving home as a teen to live life on his own terms. He soon learned that the pleasures of this world left him empty, and his return to God eventually led to him preaching of His amazing grace as pastor of a prominent church. Little did he know the depth to which he had to go to truly understand God’s undeserved favor. Tune in to find out how a very public downfall brought him to the verge of suicide and, eventually, ministering to others in need of God’s radical grace!

In this episode, Annie shares about her struggles with feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem while growing up in a home with an abusive father, who moved them frequently.
