Family, GRAMMY-winning Avery*Sunshine sat down with me on the Love You Moore Show. She told me about the first marriage she chose young, raising two little ones as a single mom while she chased her music, and the day she got as low as she could on a linoleum floor and decided to course-correct. Then we got into the church, the pause she's still learning to take, and how love found her again with her husband, Dana.


In this episode:

• Why she says her first marriage was her choice, and why she wouldn't tear her kids' father down in front of them

• The day on a linoleum floor when she decided to course correct

• What she'd tell a pastor when a woman in his church is pregnant and not married

• The pause she's learning to take, with the people she loves most

• The first time she read the time without her glasses, and why it changed everything

• What her father said about Dana, and what it's like when somebody makes you better

• My word to the church: love them as I loved you
