  • Solo Potpourri Episode!

    It’s been a very tough week, with some realizations about how this holiday will go. I saw the new episode from Rachel and listened to it. God met where I am and His love washed over me in a new way. Rachel’s compassion for people and for God was clearly evidence in this episode. I’m very thankful for Rachel.

  • Wow!!

    Gosh gosh, this was such an incredible experience for me! I was honored to be asked by Rachel to be a guest on her podcast and still, to this date, the Real Deal has been my favorite podcast I’ve shared my story with. Rachel is no stranger to the prophetic and Holy Spirit is using her to do a new and marvelous thing in her guests and listeners. Highly recommended listening in to her wisdom!
