  • #7 Ask God about it

    In this episode of Sunrise Podcast, Rachel shares how the Lord has been teaching her through rebuke, correction, and comfort in her daily devotions. Inspired by Proverbs 4:23, Matthew 6:33, John 15:15, and Revelation 3:20, she reminds us that nothing is too big or too small to bring before God.

    Instead of running first to Google, ChatGPT, or even our friends, Rachel encourages us to return to childlike dependence — to simply ask God about it. From the smallest daily choices to the biggest life decisions, He delights when we come to Him, because He is our Father and our Friend.

    This episode invites you to pause and reflect:

    • Do I bring my questions and worries to Jesus first?

    • Am I depending on my own wisdom, or on His?

    • What might God be saying to me today — even if it’s not what I expect to hear?

  • #6 Waiting & Dating w/ Francis Reyes

    In this episode of Sunrise Podcast, Rachel is joined by John Francis Reyes to talk about love, heartbreak, and what it means to pursue relationships God’s way in today’s world. From failed relationships to healing, from setting biblical standards to waiting on God’s timing, Francis shares his personal testimony of redemption and how God turned his story of brokenness into one of hope.

    Together, they discuss the difference between relationships we force for ourselves and the kind of relationship that truly comes from God. They touch on Ruth and Boaz, the importance of accountability, guarding your heart, and why maturity in faith matters more than rushing into love.

    Whether you’re single, in a relationship, or healing from the past, this episode will encourage you to maximize your current season, set godly standards, and trust God with your love story.

  • #4 Guard your heart

    In this episode, Rachel reflects on Proverbs 4:23 — “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.” Why do we still fall into sin even when we already know the truth? And how can we protect our hearts from desires that pull us away from God?

    Drawing from her seminary discussions and everyday faith journey, Rachel explores how the heart is both deep and vulnerable — a place where desires can either grow into sin or be surrendered to Christ. With Scripture from James 1:14–15, she reminds us that sin doesn’t happen instantly; it begins in the heart. That’s why guarding our hearts matters for living a life rooted in God’s mercy, love, and grace.

    This episode invites you to reflect:

    • What are you allowing to grow in your heart?

    • What do you need to let go of today?

    • And how can you guard your heart better moving forward?

  • #3 The temptation to be relevant

    In this episode, Rachel reflects on one of the biggest challenges Christians face today: the pressure to “be relevant.” Inspired by Henri Nouwen’s book In the Name of Jesus and passages from Scripture, she shares why chasing relevance often leaves us shallow and distracted, and how Jesus calls us to something deeper.


    From Satan’s temptation in the wilderness to our modern struggles with trends, success, and performance, Rachel reminds us that true life isn’t found in impressing the world but in abiding in God’s Word and love. Instead of asking, “Am I relevant enough?” Jesus simply asks, “Do you love Me?”


    If you’ve ever wrestled with comparison, pressure to perform, or the need to keep up with the world, this episode will encourage you to rest in Christ, focus on prayer, and rediscover the joy of living for an audience of One.

  • #2 Walk worthy of your calling

    In this episode, Rachel reflects on Ephesians 4:1–3 and the call to “walk in a manner worthy of the calling you have received.” She shares insights from her own study of Ephesians 1–6, along with wisdom passed on from Ate Nica — reminding us that every choice, attitude, and action can boil down to one central question: Am I walking in a manner worthy of my calling?

    This episode explores why it matters to stay grounded in the gospel, to resist being swayed by false teachings or deceitful schemes, and to live out our faith in both doctrine and application.

    If you’ve ever wrestled with how to live faithfully in a world full of distractions and shifting ideas, this reflection will encourage you to root your life in Christ and walk worthy of the call you’ve received.

  • #1 What's your story?

    In this episode, Rachel invites you to pause and reflect on one of the most important questions in your Christian journey: What’s your story?


    Through Revelation 12:11, we’re reminded that our testimonies carry power — they show how God has redeemed us and continues to restore us. From emptiness and brokenness to beauty and new life, Rachel shares the gospel in simple terms and encourages you to remember what God has done in your own life.


    Whether you’ve been walking with Jesus for years or you’re just beginning to explore faith, this episode is a space to reflect:

    • What was your life before Christ?

    • How did you come to know Him?

    • And what does your life look like now that you walk with Him?
