My guest for The Happy Hour #156 is Andrea Lucado. Andrea is a freelance writer based in Austin, Texas. As the daughter of bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado, Andrea inherited an obsession with words and their arrangement. She has a master’s degree in English literature from Oxford-Brookes University and contributes regularly to online and print publications such as Relevant magazine and SheReadsTruth.com. She recently released a book, English Lessons.
In our conversation, we chat about Andrea growing up as a preacher's kid. She shares about her journey in owning her faith – not because it was what was expected or what was culturally acceptable, but because she had a personal, authentic relationship with Jesus.
Andrea also shares about her routine to abstain from social media on the weekends – taking apps off her devices on Friday and re-d0wnloading on Monday. You'll hear about how social media can trigger some major sin struggles in both of us. And if you can relate, maybe you'll consider joining us in creating some boundaries around time spent on social media.

Remember that episode when Andrea’s sister Sara was on Fixer Upper with Chip and JOANA Gaines???? Maybe Andrea could talk to Sara who could then talk to Jo about YOU (but I bet she already knows who you are) and then Jo Jo could come on the Happy Hour??? What do you think???
Jamie! I would show up if you did a meet and greet remotely anywhere near me! Also, I pre-ordered your book this morning. My husband thinks I am a Jamie Ivey groupie. I tried to come up with excuses as to why I am not, but lets face facts, I probably am.
