Rachel Faulkner Brown's story is one of pain, resilience, and ultimate freedom. After losing her first husband to an aneurysm just days after September 11, Rachel navigated the deep waters of grief and loss at the age of 24. Despite the heartbreak and confusion, her faith in God kept her anchored through it all. But Rachel's journey didn't stop with her loss. Two years later, she remarried and began a new chapter of life with her second husband, Blair, and their children. However, tragedy struck again when Blair died in a plane crash, leaving Rachel to grieve once more.In this episode, Rachel shares her powerful journey of healing, the importance of confronting and releasing deep-rooted secrets, and how her story is now helping other widows find freedom and restoration through her ministry, Never Alone.Takeaways:1. Healing Begins When We Face Our PainRachel's story teaches us that healing can only begin when we confront our emotional pain, rather than suppressing it. Secrets may seem to protect us, but they only keep us stuck. By addressing the hurt, Rachel found freedom and was able to move forward with a renewed purpose in her life and ministry.2. Faith Transforms Our Grief into PurposeRachel's experience highlights the importance of leaning into faith even during the darkest times. In the midst of her grief, she realized that her story wasn't just for her—it was meant to help others. God took her deepest pain and turned it into a ministry that now helps other widows heal and find hope.3. Ministry Is Born Out of Brokenness Rachel's ministry, Never Alone, started in the wake of her grief. What began as a small retreat for widows grew into a life-changing ministry that helps women process their losses, embrace healing, and step into a new season of hope. Rachel encourages us that even in our darkest moments, God is preparing us to be a light for others.Rachel's journey reminds us that no matter how deep our pain, God's grace is always available to heal, restore, and transform. May her story encourage you to trust in God's faithfulness and find hope even in the most difficult seasons.Bio:Rachel Faulkner Brown tragically lost two husbands before she was thirty-one years old. Out of Rachel's healing, she founded Never Alone Widows, the largest Christian widows' ministry 501c3 in the country. Never Alone Widows currently has 70 chapters from California to Maine and reaches thousands of widows daily through the organization's social media platforms, their partnerships with the Gary Sinise Foundation, and Bob Goff's Love Does foundation. Never Alone Widows has published the only video series specifically designed to support widows on RightNow Media, the world's largest library of video-driven Bible study resources. Rachel also cowrote Father's House, an eight-week, video-driven Bible study that has helped thousands of women find freedom from their past and grace for their future. As a United States Air Force Gold Star widow, Rachel has shared her story nationally hundreds of times through Folds of Honor, a nonprofit organization helping to provide educational scholarships to the families of fallen and disabled service members and first responders. Rachel's greatest ministry is her family, her husband, Rod, and her children, Davis and Campbell. Together they reside in Atlanta, Georgia.Anchor Verses:Genesis 50:20Connect with Rachel:Website:  www.RachelFaulknerBrown.com IG: https://www.instagram.com/rachelfaulknerbrownNever Alone Widows: https://www.neveralonewidows.com***We love hearing from you!

Bob Goff is a New York Times bestselling author, speaker, and self-proclaimed “recovering lawyer” who has made it his mission to help people rediscover their purpose, dust off their dreams, and live a life filled with intention, joy, and service.   He's the author of beloved books like Love Does, Everybody Always, and Dream Big: Know What You Want, Why You Want It, and What You're Going to Do About It. Through his words and his work, Bob encourages people to trade fear for courage, comparison for connection, and excuses for action.   Bob spent decades practicing law, but his heart led him elsewhere—into building schools around the world, swinging logs to rebuild a lodge after it burned down, and being fully present with his family. He's a man who believes in showing up, loving boldly, and helping others become the truest versions of themselves—without needing a cape or a title.   On this episode, he talks about what really matters, why setbacks don't define us, and how we can live the kind of life we were made for—starting exactly where we are.

His new book "Catching Whimsy" encapsulates this dynamic approach, prompting us to explore faith with fresh eyes and a vibrant spirit. Quiet, modest acts of service hold immense power, says Bob. In a world often driven by recognition, he reminds us that God appreciates small beginnings and gradual growth. This applies to everything - our faith, relationships, and professional commitments. His emphasis on gentleness and patience serves as a reminder that impactful change often starts with unassuming, everyday actions. "Catching Whimsy," the title of Goff's new book, suggests that whimsy surpasses mere superficial happiness. It is a strategic, intentional approach towards life and faith that echoes childlike simplicity and wonder. Bob illustrates whimsy using metaphors like catching bubbles, tying it back to a pure form of faith that urges us to perceive the world uniquely. Bob Goff advocates for the practice of transitioning from "Bible study" to "Bible doing," urging us to embody our faith through deliberate actions. Central to his message are calls for service to others, such as feeding the hungry and welcoming strangers. Sharing experiences from teaching at San Quentin penitentiary, Bob also reflects on the deep humility demonstrated by the inmates—a quality that influences his own faith journey. His stories underscore the value of surrounding oneself with individuals who truly embody empathy and authentic faith. This principle extends to difficult situations where empathetic communication is key. Bob emphasizes the importance of steering clear from clichéd responses, replacing them with deeper, meaningful connections. Bob reframes suffering by mentioning the teachings of Paul and James, highlighting that through adversity, endurance and character are built, eventually leading to hope. This perspective encourages a focus on personal growth rather than dwelling in arguments or seeking validation. Authenticity is paramount in our relationship with God. He encourages believers to present their true selves, inclusive of doubts and questions. This authenticity is also about running our own race and allowing others to do the same, all while fostering genuine conversations with God - simple, everyday conversations flavored with the "salt" of prayer. For those inspired by his words, the challenge is set—embrace whimsy, embark on a journey of authentic living, and become the "convincing proof" of a lively, active faith.

Public perception of Christianity has soured in the past decade -- and so has most of the famous "Christian" nonfiction -- titles such as The Shack, Love Wins, Blue Like Jazz, Love Does, Wild at Heart have aged like milk. In contrast, Brian asks Nate why his own nonfiction seems so well suited for the negative world. Notes from the Tilt-a-Whirl is now a barrel-aged 15-year whiskey, the gospel of story. Death by Living is a bold declaration of your mortality in a time when "normal" dreams are shattering. The guys discuss why storytelling is kingdom work, and why the Gospel of Story is a key skill for every Christian living now to develop. Nate also addresses readers who don't like his writing, and that one secular reviewer who, days after publishing a positive review, accosted Nate with this realization of how Christianity had tiptoed into his books: "You pulled that C.S. Lewis s***." Find the matching hardcover sets of each book at ndwilson.com.

Today Anne Nicely shares her powerful journey from battling alcohol addiction to finding freedom and purpose through her faith in Jesus Christ. Anne candidly recounts her early experiences growing up in a small Kentucky town, where her father's severe addiction deeply impacted her life. Despite vowing never to follow in his footsteps, Anne found herself caught in a cycle of binge drinking that left her overwhelmed with guilt, shame, and anxiety.  She reflects on the pivotal moments that led her to surrender her life to Christ, the transformative power of vulnerability, and the role that sharing her struggles with others played in the freedom story. Anne emphasizes the importance of community and the necessity of being honest about one's struggles, noting that it was through listening to the stories of others and immersing herself in the Word that she found the strength to quit drinking for good. She shares how she initially kept her decision to quit drinking private, relying on podcasts and sermons to keep her grounded in her early days of sobriety. Anne's testimony is a powerful reminder of God's grace and the freedom that comes from fully surrendering to His will.

Today I'll add a link to an episode from 2022 that featured his work in Uganda: Be Secretly Incredible.Part of being incredible is loving people. Not just from a distance through prayer. Not just when you agree with them. Not just when they do what you want them to do. But because of who they are - people made by God and in His likeness. And because of who you are: a child of God living out the love of Jesus.This can mean resisting the urge to coach and redirect everyone. When sin or danger is involved, sure. But most of the time when people have ideas for their life that doesn't fit your vision for their life... it's not sin. It's just not your way. Be with them. Go with them.
