Mandy McCleary is first and foremost a perfectly flawed daughter of God, a Pastor, a wife, and a mom to her 16 year-old daughter Paige who would tell you her Momma struggles with TMI, and 23 year-old son Sam, a self proclaimed Momma’s boy who still calls her everyday after work at his big boy job. She is also a cat momma to sweet Coco.
Mandy survived an abusive first marriage and then a second rebound marriage and subsequent divorce. She spent way too much time in shame and embarrassment until she remembered the truth about who she is because of who God is. After beginning to believe the truth about all of this she spent 2 years losing 130 pounds; embracing emotional, spiritual and physical health in order to accomplish that.
Mandy promises to be very open and real about finding happiness and joy in the every day life because of the accepting love of Jesus Christ. She will use the lives of people in Scripture, stories from her own experiences, and teachings from the Bible that will encourage us to become and accept more fully the woman God created us to be.
“So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out.”
