Andrew  is an award-winning singer-songwriter and author. The second book in his “Wingfeather Saga, North! Or Be Eaten” (2009) won the Christy Award for Young Adult Fiction, and the fourth, “The Warden and the Wolf King” (2014) won World Magazine’s Children’s Book of the Year in August 2015.

In 2008, driven by a desire to cultivate a strong Christian arts community, Andrew founded a ministry called The Rabbit Room, which led to a yearly conference, countless concerts and symposiums, and Rabbit Room Press, which has published thirty books to date.

He’s been married for 26 years to his wife Jamie, with whom they have three children. His eldest is a recent graduate as an animation student at Lipscomb University, his second son is a touring drummer and record producer, and his daughter recently released her first album. In his spare time Andrew keeps bees, builds dry stack stone walls, gardens, draws, and sleeps.

In this episode we hear from Andrew about his newest book “The God of the Garden: Thoughts on Creation, Culture, and the Kingdom.” We unearth his love for and the value of Trees in his story.  We discuss the importance of place and how during the lockdown and Covid, Andrew was able to spend time writing this latest book, telling parts of his story tied to and fueled by his love for trees.
