Andrews grew up in Wilson, NC, where she started singing when she was six years old. She attended Wilson Christian Academy, where she graduated. Andrews later attended college at Liberty University in Virginia. Though she was born an only child, her parents served as foster parents to many children while she was growing up, three of whom later were adopted by her parents. Meredith married Jacob Sooter in May 2008, and gave birth to their first child, a boy, Maverick Elijah Sooter, on September 1, 2010.
In 2011, Andrews won two Dove Awards, "Worship Song of the Year" for "How Great Is The Love" from As Long As It Takes and "Praise and Worship album of the Year" for As Long As It Takes.[3][4]
“I never want to write songs just to write songs. I always want them to be about conveying the heart of God to people, whether they are people who walk with the Lord or people who don’t walk with the Lord. I think the best way to do that is to do it through His word. I always want my songs to be infused with the word of God because if it’s my words, it’s null and void. What do I have to say to people that is going to change their lives? Nothing! But if it comes from the Lord, that’s what is going to change them."
Andrews toured with Pocket Full of Rocks and Todd Agnew.
