Sunrise Podcast

In this episode of Sunrise Podcast, Rachel sits down with Terejons Laborte, a church planter, coach, and global leader, to talk about calling, leadership, and God’s redeeming love.

Kuya TJ shares his powerful testimony — from running away from God and battling deep brokenness (including multiple suicide attempts), to finally surrendering to Christ and stepping into the global calling God had prepared for him. His story is one of grace, second chances, and the Father’s arms always open wide.

Together, Rachel and TJ dive into:

• How to discern God’s calling in your 20s and 30s

• Balancing personal dreams vs. God’s assignment

• Leading with Kingdom values in secular workplaces

• Non-negotiables every Christian leader should hold on to

• What to do when you feel stuck in your career or calling

If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I chasing worldly success or walking in God’s assignment?” this episode will encourage you to pursue faithfulness over performance and remind you that no matter your past, God can still use you for His Kingdom.

In this episode of Sunrise Podcast, Rachel talks about one of the struggles we all face — insecurities. From comparing ourselves to others, to feeling “not enough,” insecurities can weigh us down and keep us from seeing who we truly are in Christ.

This episode is an invitation to remember: you are God’s masterpiece, created with gentleness and purpose. Even in weakness, God completes us, fills the holes in our hearts, and calls us to reflect Christ more each day.

In this episode of Sunrise Podcast, Rachel unpacks one of the most important but often overlooked truths of the Christian life: our union with Christ. Drawing insights from Dane Ortlund’s book Deeper, she explores the four common ways Christians think about growth—God then me, God not me, God plus me, and the biblical reality of God in me.

Together, we reflect on what it truly means to walk in unity with God, why we can’t rely on our own strength, and how the Holy Spirit empowers us to grow in holiness. Rachel also shares Scripture and personal insights that remind us that we are never alone in our struggles or our joy—Christ is with us and in us.

Whether you’ve been following Jesus for years or are just starting to ask questions, this conversation will encourage you to rest in His presence and live from the truth that God Himself dwells in you.

In this episode of Sunrise Podcast, Rachel shares lessons from her recent retreat and reflects on Psalm 25:4–10, where we are reminded that “all the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful.”

Amidst busyness, exhaustion, and distractions, Rachel encourages listeners to step back, slow down, and realign their hearts with God. She unpacks how we can discern His will by asking: Does this path draw me closer to His love? Does it help me grow in faithfulness?

Through personal stories, reflections from retreat, and practical encouragement, Rachel reminds us that God often calls us out of our comfort zones — but every time He does, He proves His love and faithfulness.

If you’ve been asking, “What is God’s will for me right now?” this episode will give you simple reminders and encouragement to trust His ways.

In this episode of Sunrise Podcast, Rachel reflects on what it truly means to fully submit to God. Looking at the story of Mary and Zechariah in Luke 1, she highlights how submission to the Lord is more than words — it’s surrendering even when we don’t fully understand, when it’s not part of our plans, and when it goes against our feelings.

Mary’s response in Luke 1:38 — “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word” — challenges us to open our lives to God’s authority and trust His wisdom in every season.

This episode will encourage you to pause and ask:

• Where is God leading me today?

• What area of my life do I still resist submitting to Him?

• How can I trust His plans instead of my own?

If you’ve ever wrestled with surrender, this conversation is a reminder that God knows the past, present, and future — and His ways are always best.

In this episode of Sunrise Podcast, Rachel is joined by Dr. Gilbert Erick Ignacio to talk about trauma, therapy, and the hope of true healing found in the Lord. While everyone carries wounds and past experiences that shape their lives, the Bible speaks into how we can face pain honestly and find restoration in Christ.

Doc Gilbert shares insights on how trauma impacts us, why acknowledging our brokenness matters, and how God can use even our deepest wounds for His glory. Together, they reflect on the call to be “wounded healers”—people who have experienced God’s healing and can now walk with others in their own journeys of recovery and faith.

Whether you’ve been through therapy, are processing your own trauma, or want to support others, this episode is a reminder that healing is possible, and that it is the Lord who restores us completely.

In this episode of Sunrise Podcast, Rachel reflects on John 3:30 — “He must increase, but I must decrease.” What does it really mean to open our lives fully to God?

Rachel unpacks how we often pray, “Lord, we want You,” yet keep parts of our lives closed off from His purposes, His ways, and His authority. She shares simple but powerful reminders of what it looks like to live with less of us and more of Him — until we can say, “None of me, all of Him.”

This episode invites you to pause and reflect:

• Is my heart fully open to God?

• Which parts of my life do I need to surrender more?

• How can I let Jesus increase in me today?

In this episode of Sunrise Podcast, Rachel reflects on Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:14–16: “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.”

As Christians, we’re called to shine God’s light in a world that often feels dark and hopeless. But what does that really mean in our everyday lives? Rachel unpacks the importance of living differently, not blending into the world’s darkness, and remembering that light has a purpose — to guide others home to God.

This episode will encourage you to reflect on how your life points others to Christ:

• Am I blending in with the darkness, or standing out for Jesus?

• How can I reflect His light more clearly in the way I live?

• What does it look like to shine without fear or shame?

If you’ve ever wondered how to handle stress, anxiety, or frustration without crumbling under the weight of it all, this message will remind you that rejoicing isn’t toxic positivity — it’s trust in a faithful God.

In this episode of Sunrise Podcast, Rachel reflects on the overwhelming weight of commitments — work, ministry, family, work, and everything in between, and how God gently reminds us to set aside distractions and anchor our hearts in Him.

Drawing from Isaiah 26:3-4, 7, 12, she shares how the Lord provides perfect peace to those who trust Him, and why we can rest knowing He has already prepared the way. With encouragement from devotionals and personal experience, Rachel reminds us that peace isn’t found in multitasking or striving harder, but in leaning fully on the Prince of Peace.

This episode invites you to reflect:

• What commitments or “plates” are you holding that God might be asking you to set aside?

• How can you trust Him to balance your responsibilities and give you rest?

• What does it look like to experience perfect peace in Christ today?
