Anna Collins (White Flag) - Surrendering With A White Flag

07/25/18 • 52 min

In this episode, we talk to Anna Collins, founder and owner of White Flag. I can't wait for you to hear the conversation with Anna because her story is so powerful. When she shares the story behind White Flag, I got the chills and maybe even a little teary eyed. It's a good one. She also even shares her own personal story of surrender - carrying shame, being a single mother, and even her marriage - which is not something we often talk openly about in the church. I'm amazed by Anna's vulnerability and desire glorify God in every season and bless others. To me Anna is someone who lives out the call to love your neighbor, and I hope that as you hear this conversation, you remember that God is bigger than all circumstances.* GIVEAWAY *To help remind us all of God's victory, we are doing a White Flag giveaway and someone can win their very own White Flag!
