    Reason to Return with Ericka Andersen

    Today we are getting to know author Ericka Andersen by her shelf. Ericka is also a freelance writer, podcaster, and mom of two living in Indianapolis, Indiana, with her husband Rick. In this episode, Ericka and I chat about how she came to write her husband’s memoir for her debut, what led to her latest book, Reason to Return: Why Women Need the Church and the Church Needs Women, how the local church can support women, signs of a healthy church, and I help Ericka through the existential dread of trying to choose a book someone could read to learn more about her. I think you will discover many reasons to follow Ericka in this episode. I hope you enjoy it.
