In one of the most raw and transformative conversations we’ve had on the Audacious Faith Podcast, I sit down with Raquel Soto — a woman who survived four suicide attempts and now helps others rewire their minds for purpose.Raquel shares how, in her darkest moments, God intervened. Instead of giving up, she began asking deeper questions: Why was I thinking this way? What was happening in my brain? Why did it feel logical at the time? That search led her into neuroscience, brain science, and a deeper exploration of how our thoughts shape our reality — all grounded in powerful biblical truth.Today, Raquel teaches people how to renew their minds, step fully into their calling, and move from survival mode into 10X — even 100X — purposeful living. We talk about mental health, spiritual warfare, identity, what’s happening to our kids today, and how so much of what’s robbing us of clarity and strength is subtle, systemic, and spiritual.This is not just an interview.It’s a wake-up call.And it may be the conversation someone you love desperately needs to hear.Don’t miss this one.
