Living Forward with Fearless Faith! – Andi Buerger, JD

Connected Leaders Academy Life is messy. No matter how hard we try to avoid adversity and uncertainty, stuff happens and no one is immune to the pitfalls of life’s fury. Andi Buerger shares her powerful personal journey and extraordinary resolve to live forward despite incomprehensible adversity. Her distinctive stories, vivid illustrations, and practical truths will inspire attendees and offer hope to those who feel they might never get out of their life pit. Andi shares that even blind faith is better than no faith at all. Through compounded tragedies, desperate grief, business fumbles and failures, personal betrayals, physical debilitation, and so much more, God’s voice at age five is the voice that led Andi to stay in the game of life and move forward to help others, including herself. She shares how impacting even the smallest prayer and tiniest choice can truly move a mountain. Moving mountains like despair, frustration, disappointments, resentment, brokenness, depression, and unforgiveness, allows us to clearly see the path forward to ultimate fulfillment. Like Peter the Apostle who walked towards Jesus on the water, as long as he stayed focused on what mattered most, he had no fear! When we lose our focus, we lose our footing, our confidence, and start drowning in the ocean of uncertainty and disbelief. Andi shares the power of acknowledgement versus acceptance, examples of fearless faith in action, how forgiveness accelerates living forward, and choices you can make today to get back on track or to enhance the forward living path you’re already on. Andi Buerger is the Founder and Chair of Voices Against Trafficking™, an international nonprofit organization dedicated to ending human trafficking in the U.S. and abroad. She also co-founded Beulah’s Place, another nonprofit which served at-risk homeless teens in danger of abuse, trafficking or other criminally predatory activities. Andi, herself a victim of unspeakable abuse, is a highly sought-after international speaker and advocate for those who cannot speak for themselves. Andi’s books are available online at Amazon.com including her newest release, Voices Against Trafficking - Courage Is Contagious. Her magazine, Voices Of Courage® is available on VoicesOfCourage.media. Andi is regularly heard across the airwaves and on television podcasts, speaking on Capitol Hill and for government agencies, universities, churches, businesses, and more in the U.S. and abroad. By sharing her personal story, Andi is creating greater awareness of human trafficking, child exploitation, and the devastating cost to America's future.
