Andrea’s Journey
Andrea S. N. Brown is an award-winning speaker who has been speaking regularly on faith and finances for over eight years. She has an indescribable passion to help people thrive and not merely survive financially.
In her early 20’s after struggling extensively financially, Andrea became tired of hearing what Christians had to say about God and money. She decided to study for herself what the Bible records about wealth, money, and prosperity. Her journey over ten years included countless hours of study and culminated in two convictions:
- Ultimately, God desires to bless us so that we can be a blessing to the people around us.
- The Bible holds the keys for debt elimination, stewardship, and wealth creation.
Through her blog, Andrea shares her journey and the insights she gained along the way. She will challenge your core beliefs and inspire you to transform your life and finances using wisdom and keys found in the Bible. You will discover the power of giving, saving, investing, and working among other things.
