Rachael was once a stay-at-home who struggled to believe that her life was truly significant. She was told her work was important, but in a sea of mundane tasks, it certainly didn’t feel true. 

 But then, God started to work in her life. 

She began to find fulfillment, significance, and purpose. Not because her circumstances changed, but because her heart did. 

Now every week on her podcast, she shares the encouraging and inspiring stories of other women who are dedicated to living out their faith in God and believing their offering matters.
