We are so pleased to announce that our 2016 Summer Caution special guest will be Meredith Andrews!

**Enter to win a digital copy of Meredith’s album, Deeper**

Each year, we pray and ask the Lord to show us His heart for this event. And every time, He is faithful to orchestrate the details in a beautiful way. We knew our verse would be Isaiah 40:31. Then we heard this song and knew we wanted Meredith to join us:

She’s released four studio albums over the course of her career. Her most recent release, Deeper, showcases her beautiful voice and songwriting gifts. She’s spoken about working through personal crises during the making of this album, and we see a this line from the title track reflected in her work: “Every burden only made me stronger”.

Her love for people and her servant’s heart are rooted in her childhood. A native of Wilson, NC, Meredith’s parents took in many foster children and adopted three boys who became her beloved brothers. Music was always an integral part of the Andrews home and Meredith began singing in church at age six. While majoring in family and child development at Liberty University, Andrews felt God calling her into music ministry. After school, she relocated to Chicago and began leading worship at Harvest Bible Chapel.

Meredith and Jacob have two sons and a daughter. Balancing music and family can sometimes be a challenge, yet motherhood has impacted her art in unexpected ways.

“I was always a people pleaser and I feel like now that I’m a mom, I’m not anymore. I’m just over it,” she says with a smile. “I’m not trying to please anybody. I just want to please the Lord and love people.”

“[God’s love]… It’s not based on our performance. God doesn’t love us more on our good days and less on our bad and that was revolutionary for me. There’s freedom in knowing that God just loves me and that’s changed me. I’m so overwhelmed by the way the Lord loves me and it’s come out in the way that I’ve written these songs. When I think of other moms listening to these songs, I just hope that whether they are at home with their kids or in the car driving to soccer practice or whatever that even just for three minutes, they can sense the presence of the Lord and God’s love for them. We need that recharge. We need to get plugged into the source and have that time with the Lord. That’s my prayer in all this.”
