Summary

Guest Bio: Anna Laura is an entrepreneur at heart. Her Grandmother’s story of waving a white tablecloth to avoid attacks by bomber planes during World War II inspired Anna to start White Flag. White Flag is a lifestyle brand aimed to spark conversations about Jesus Christ through simple designs inspired by biblical truths. She has worked with many artists and creators, including Lauren Daigle and Chip & Joanna Gaines, to bring White Flag out into the world. She is also a single mother of two in Nashville, Tennessee. 

 

Show Summary: Have you ever asked a question in church or with a mentor and felt like it wasn’t received well? Anna Laura was in high school when she started asking tough questions within the church. The reaction to her questions led to the forging of a new path in her life as a single mom and entrepreneur. Join God Hears Her hosts, Eryn Eddy Adkins and Vivian Mabuni as they learn the trajectory of Anna’s story and how God helped her to surrender her hurts and her doubts to him.  

 

Notes and Quotes:  

“A lot of what I heard growing up was that if you questioned or doubted, or you weren’t doing things a certain way or living thing a certain way, then you had ‘lukewarm Christianity.’”  

—Anna Laura 

 

“I look back at seasons where everything felt really hard as a single parent and the bits of life and the anchor in it all were the people who were the safe space.” —Anna Laura 

 

“The act of surrender has been a daily evolving process for me.” —Anna Laura 

 

“Get it all out on paper and watch God connect the dots right in front of you.” —Anna Laura 

 

“I can’t tell you how powerful it is to give yourself the freedom to share the entire spectrum of your emotions with God when you’re in the middle of it.” —Anna Laura
