• You are unique

• You are here for a purpose

• You are a child of God

Welcome to the FIRST episode of For the Perfecting with Rachel French! In this pilot episode we begin to dive into Ephesians 4:12 - "for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ." What does it mean to be "perfected" as a saint? Are trials apart of that divine process?

Rachel opens the discussion of how the body of Christ thrives through maturity, unity, and spiritual resilience. The testimonies of overcomers are vital to the edification of the church.

This episode ends with encouragement to embrace the journey and see the trial as preparation for the good that is to come.
