My friend, Rachel Hunka, is with us again! This week we're talking about not letting discouragement win. We all feel it at times; it's part of living in a fallen world. With eyes fixed on Jesus, we may feel discouraged at times, but we don't have to stay there.

As always, we're excited you're tuning in again this week. I appreciated this conversation and the varied sides of discouragement that we covered. One of the biggest takeaways is, "Grit is formed in the valley, not on the mountaintop." Push play, and let's connect!

Rachel is a graduate of Fuller Theological Seminary with a master's in Global Leadership. She is a writer and content developer for Propel Women, Bloom: Women in Church Planting, and the Tribe Collective. She is also the Founder and Director of the Absurd Conference, which exists to see a reconciled world thriving in a celebration of Kingdom Diversity. Rachel also enjoys co-hosting the Bless Up Podcast, preaching at 3rd Street Community Church, and serving as a professor at Malone University. Rachel lives in Canton, Ohio, with her husband, Corey, and their daughters, Sarah, Kaylee, and Jamie.
