Imagine your earliest memory of your mother being one of her chasing you around the house with a butcher knife when you were only 3 years old, or the magnitude of deciding by age 5 that life is no longer worth living. For many of us, these scenarios are so far beyond our experiences that it’s challenging to wrap our minds around. But for Andi Burger, who was born into the hands of violent monsters, this was her reality. Andi and Rachael talk through Andi’s upbringing and the horrors she lived through from the time she was only 6 months old, until she was 17 and out of her parent’s house. Andi recalls two powerful moments when she first experienced the presence of God, and shares how His redemption has transformed her life. She also discusses her nonprofit, and offers listeners a way that they can take a stand against human trafficking.

While no greater example of forgiveness has ever been more powerfully displayed than through Christ’s ultimate sacrifice on the cross, there are certain offenses that can take tremendous work for humans to forgive. Today’s Hopecast guest is Dr. David Jenkins, who knows better than most just how challenging that offering forgiveness can be in certain circumstances. David sits down with Rachael and shares the horrific story of the torture and murder of his brother, at the hands of someone who misidentified his own victim. David openly explains how his anger towards his brother’s murderer almost got the best of him and how in a moment of complete anguish, God stepped in and began a transformative work in David’s heart. While it can be a very long and hard journey, David empowers listeners with a hopeful message that forgiveness is always possible.

It was almost a decade ago when journalist and bestselling author Lee Strobel found himself on the brink of death. His doctor warned him that he was one step away from a coma and two steps from passing away. After making a miraculous recovery, Strobel felt compelled to address what he considered to be life's most significant and final question: what happens after we die?

This question led Strobel on a years-long journey of research and interviews with experts, resulting in his latest book, "The Case for Heaven: A Journalist Investigates the Evidence for Life After Death." In this enlightening podcast episode, Rachael talks to Lee about his latest work, delving into his fascinating findings on the afterlife.

As a former atheist and investigative journalist, Strobel is well-known for his previous books, "The Case for Christ," "The Case for Faith," and "The Case for a Creator." In "The Case for Heaven," Strobel brings his demanding search for truth to another life changing concept.

Strobel's tireless investigative skills and thoughtful approach to his research have provided a compelling case for the existence of heaven. He discusses his own personal experience with loss and grief and how it has informed his understanding of the afterlife.

In "The Case for Heaven," Strobel explores the scientific evidence for the existence of heaven and the accounts of those who have had near-death experiences. He notes that the corroborative evidence of these experiences, which often involve meeting loved ones who have passed on, provide a glimpse of what heaven may be like.

This podcast is a must-listen for anyone seeking answers to life's biggest questions, including what has happened to our loved ones after death. Join Rachael as she sits down with Lee Strobel to discuss his latest book, "The Case for Heaven."

One thing that is unmistakable for anyone who meets Rachael, or hears her speak, is her passion. Growing up, Rachael dreamed of being a doctor. While her educational path diverged from medicine, Rachael continued to support wellness journeys for others as a high school P.E. teacher and a personal trainer.

Tragically, Rachael lost her husband of ten years on February 5, 2018. Deputy Sheriff Micah Flick was killed in the line of duty while attempting to arrest a car thief. On the day of Micah’s funeral, Rachael stood before thousands of uniformed police, and a globally streamed audience, to call a broken nation to a return to honor.

Today on this episode, we are airing part 2 of a previous interview that was aired on Dr. James Dobson's Family Talk. Dr Dobson sits down with Rachael as they look back on that tragic day.
