Quotes by Ericka Andersen (?)

“He witnessed a wind and a fire and an earthquake, but Scripture says God was not in that wind or fire or earthquake. After this environmental chaos ended, Elijah likely felt as if the world had turned upside down around him. And then he heard “the sound of a low whisper”—and this was the voice of God (1 Kings 19:12).”
― Ericka Andersen, Freely Sober: Rethinking Alcohol Through the Lens of Faith

“There is freedom from alcohol, no matter how little or much it currently affects you. That day will come.”

“know this path is possible for any woman willing to do what Hagar did—cry out to the Lord and trust that he sees her.”
