An Athlete’s Identity Crisis and an Unexpected Pregnancy | Interview with Gwyn Andrews

Growing up as a pastor’s kid and a standout athlete gave Gwyn a strong sense of identity...or at least it seemed that way. But once she left for college, the structure she’d relied on fell away, creating space for secrecy, fear, and choices she never imagined facing, including sexual compromise and the consideration of abortion. We talk candidly about the gap between cultural Christianity and genuine discipleship, the isolation that drives hidden decisions, and how easy it is to drift into se...
