Hi. I’m Kandi Anderson. I’m a firm believer that the only way we can have joy in this journey called life is to live out and live in the scriptures, abiding in Him as we walk through the everyday stuff… “For me to live is
Christ…that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings….for in Him we live and move and have our being.”
I have a big mouth. I asked the Lord as a young girl if He wanted to use this mouth for His glory, I was willing to go. Kind of the whole “Here am I, send me.” He did and He has. Yet, the practical part of living has not always been easy. There have been lot’s of humorous, same ol’ same ol’, terribly sad, scary, joyful, emotion packed days that scream, “That’ll preach.”
The scripture, “For me to live is Christ” is wonderful, but then comes the part about fellowshipping in His sufferings and then those “Gethsemane Moments” of not my will, but Yours. Each declaring that the hiding and abiding under the Shadow of His wing and the cross is the only way to breathe in and out this side of glory.
There were the years of diapers, teenagers, wife, church, work….life. Each experience yelled, “I need you Lord.” God has allowed me to walk through the ordinary, the extraordinary “Jesus filled” days and say,
“Nevertheless” I will trust you and I will go tell after we get through this chapter together. Raw testimony is the way God works out the “go tell” part.

I married Lowry Anderson at the ripe ol’ age of 18 and moved from South Texas to Mississippi. We started a family on a shoestring, climbed a corporate ladder, and climbed higher to accept God’s call into the ministry during middle-age.
During that time I was invited to speak to different groups, churches, students, civic groups, seniors, ladies, men’s groups and suddenly I found myself with a radio program called Morning Lite. From there I became a manager of WAOY, American Family Radio. I continued to speak, traveling to places like Kansas, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, North Carolina, Mississippi, and then a decade ago I began writing a weekly column for the “Sun Herald” the newspaper for MS Gulf Coast.

It’s been a journey. I quit the radio to be a fulltime “Pastor’s wife” helping with counseling, hospital visits, just loving and supporting my husband and the precious group of people that passed through our lives. I’m
so glad I listened to the Lord and did just that.
This last year has been the most difficult as my vigorous, life-filled, funny, faithful husband got sick and within three short weeks went home to be with the One he loved, prayed to, lived for and preached about. Life is hard, but God is good.
I’m back on the air, (tues-wed, 3pm 91.7fm WAOY) still writing and I’m wanting more than ever to share
the “That’ll Preach” moments when and to wherever God leads. It has to be Him or y’all we won’t get a thing but words…He’s the one that does the calling, the leading, the healing and the teaching. As Paul said, …. I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.” I don’t presume to be a Paul. I’m more like the donkey, a donkey that’s wanting to be used.
This has been a long introduction just to say, “Love the Lord, Have message, Have a big mouth, Will travel.”
I pray that..if you have prayed and God leads you to have me come share….God will do the rest. God bless you and have a Jesus filled day.
