This Week on Seminary Dropout… Andrea Lucado is a freelance writer based in Austin, Texas. The daughter of the best selling author and pastor, Max Lucado. She inherited an obsession with words and their arrangement. She has a masters in English Literature from Oxford Brooks University and contributes regularly to online and print publications such as Relevant Magazine, and SheReadsTruth.com. When she's not conducting interviews and writing stories, you'll find her laughing with friends at a coffee shop or running in the Texas hill country. It wasn't long after arriving in Oxford for graduate school that twenty-two-year-old Andrea Lucado – preacher's daughter from Texas - faced not only culture shock, a severe lack of coffee, but also some unexpected hard questions: Who am I? Who is God? Why do I believe what I believe? "So many nights in Oxford, I felt like the details of my faiths were getting fuzzier. Nights turned restless with the questions and the thoughts. I questioned God's existence and the doubt, it was getting into my bones…." In this engaging memoir, Andrea speaks to all of us who wrestle with faith, doubt, and spiritual identity. Join Andrea as she navigates the Thames River, the Oxford Atheist Society, romance in ancient pubs—and a new perspective on who God is. As Andrea learned, sometimes it takes letting go of old ideas to discover lasting truth. - From the Publisher If you liked this episode then you might also like… MATTHEW 7:21-29 (SERMON 2017.06.25) Seminary Dropout 027: Greg Boyd on Doubt, Anti-Intellectualism & Open Theism Subscribe/Rate/Review Seminary Dropout in iTunes
