Rachel loves helping Christian women who are tired of letting life kick them around pursue passionate, disciplined lives for Christ in order to fulfill God's mission, build strong accountability and discipleship, and grow madly in love with Jesus through the process.
Her relationship with Jesus started at the young age of four. She's made it her mission ever since to share Him with others. Though the road of life has been rough many times, including the death of close family members, parental divorce, church split, and chronic illnesses, she's seen that each twist has drawn her closer to Christ. She's grown in understanding what it means to live her life of faith in body, mind, soul, and spirit, and to count everything else as lost. She made a commitment to the Lord while attending Bible college to dedicate her life to full-time ministry service for Him.
Shortly after marrying the man of her dreams, Rachel incurred a serious concussion after donating her bone marrow which led to suffering from Post Concussion Syndrome for years. While still recovering from that, she and her husband were diagnosed with infertility. God also sent them on the adventure of paying off debt at the same time. The Lord used all these trials to lead her to starting Hope Through Hard Times ministry in January of 2020. It brings her joy to help others grow deeper in intimacy with Jesus and hold onto hope through their hard times too!
