"If we believed that Jesus only died for a few of our sins, we'd still be living as captive people. But when I first understood that God remembers no more and when he sees me he sees Jesus—that changed everything about how I live, what I believe about the power of the Gospel, and what I share with people."— Rachelle StarrThe blood of Jesus is enough to cover every sin—no sin is too big or too insignificant for him to forgive. He paid the full price for everyone who trusts in his saving work on the cross. It's the best news! And it's what we're discussing today with Rachelle Star, founder of Scarlet Hope. Her ministry helps women caught in the sex industry experience the love and forgiveness of Jesus. You will be so encouraged to hear her testimony of hope for all sinners, including herself. This month's memory verse: "As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us." — Psalm 103:12 Today's guest: Rachelle Starr is first and foremost a lover of Jesus. In 2007, Rachelle founded the nonprofit, Scarlet Hope, when God called her to share His hope and love with exploited and trafficked women. Scarlet Hope has since expanded across ten cities in the United States and has trained thousands to launch similar nonprofits worldwide under Rachelle's leadership. Rachelle is an entrepreneur at heart and enjoys developing innovative ways to reach and disciple women, wherever they are. As a speaker, coach, and author of Outrageous Obedience, Rachelle has shared her story on numerous platforms to inspire women to live an outrageous life for Jesus. When Rachelle's not sharing the gospel in a strip club, you will find her spending time with her husband, Josh, and two boys, baking tasty treats, or playing card games.Memorize Scripture with us: Find out more about the easy button for Scripture memory, Dwell Differently's monthly kit!Get our weekly devotional email: Dive deeper into this month's verse.PLEASE leave us a review: We'd love to hear from you!

Today's episode with my new friend, Rachelle Starr. Rachelle talks about how her journey of working with women in the adult entertainment industry started when she was 23 years old, starting with a daily prayer session for 18 months with the people who decided to walk this path with her. When God told her it was time to start going in, the soil was ready for planting. She emphasizes the importance of developing rhythms of prayer, fasting and soaking in the Word of God, not only to discover His plan for your life, but also to discover more about who He is. I pray that this conversation will open your eyes to see what is going on in the world around you and leads you to ask God what He wants for you to do and who He has for you to reach. Then be ready to answer the call! Bio: Rachelle Starr founded Scarlet Hope, a nonprofit dedicated to sharing the hope of Jesus with women in the adult entertainment industry. Rachelle also leads a gospel-centered career development program where women can receive employment and job skills while discovering their God-given gifts and talents. Rachelle and her husband, Josh, have two boys and reside in Louisville, Kentucky.

Welcome to the Love Where You Are podcast!  I am joined with Rachelle Starr. Rachelle Starr is the author of Outrageous Obedience: Answering God's Call to Shine in the Darkest Places  which is about how she answered God's calling in her life to reach out to women in the adult entertainment industry and eventually how she started the Scarlet Hope ministry. In this episode, Rachelle shares a little bit of her story and together we explore the ways moms can help raise their children to love like how Jesus loves. There can be a tendency in the church to avoid the uncomfortable or dark places, like the adult entertainment industry, but as Rachelle points out those are the places that need God's light the most. Rachelle also shares some practical ways to make a difference, and how important it is to obey God's call to move from prayer to action. Also, it's never too late!  Thank you for being here today. Now, let's dive into the conversation!  You can connect with Rachelle through Instagram, and check out the Scarlet Hope website. Be sure to order her book so you can read her full story!    FAVORITE TAKE-AWAYS: *Part of Rachelle's story is her parents and how they began a legacy in her by being faithful teachers of the Gospel. The work you are doing right now as a Christian mom can make a huge impact! Not just for your child, but for the work your child could do in the future.  *Jesus asked did you feed me, did you clothe me? That is the question every Christian needs to ask themselves. It isn't what saves them but it is what shows the reflection of Christ.  *Often when we are afraid, we run to what is comfortable. Being a Christian, however, means we don't have to live in fear! And, we are often called into the uncomfortable places.    REMEMBER: -We need to foster a heart of empathy in our children and get them involved early on with helping others. Rachelle shares examples of how she does this with her kids but every family is different.  -You are never too old to follow God's calling! Some people go decades without obeying the call and live to regret it, but even after years you can still answer His calling. It is never too late!  -Even Jesus had twelve disciples! We can't do it alone. We need each other, teamwork, communities, and to disciple one another.    Connect with Somer!  Stay connected to Somer and the Love Where You Are podcast through her Facebook & Instagram!

Episode Summary: Do you ever wonder about God's calling on your life? What does the Bible say about God's calling on your life? What does it mean when God is calling you? In this episode, I talk with Rachelle Starr. At the age of 23, she God called her to share the hope of Jesus to women in the adult entertainment industry.  This led her to love people through their pain and her pain as she walked out God's calling on her life in outrageous obedience. You won't want to miss this episode! Quotables from the episode: One of the best things my parents did for me was to teach me who Jesus was and what he did for me. Learning about God's calling on your life begins praying for purpose and the people God wants you to reach. Ask God and invite him in to speak to you about your calling. In pursuing your God-given calling, consider prayer and fasting as well as silence and solitude to hear God's voice and receive his direction. Pray and ask God to give you eyes to see  who God wants you to minister to. Fear, inadequacy, and doubt freeze us from living out our call. Outrageous obedience is about living out the great commission. When you come up against darkness, you become grateful for the salvation Jesus died for you to have. Stepping out in faith and doing something that the world says is crazy can be extremely hard and scary.  But it's important to remember that if God calls us to something, He also equips us.  Outrageous obedience to God is rooted in a relationship with Him.  Sometimes we over-complicate things.  If you are daily soaking in the Word and spending time with your Heavenly Father, He will guide your steps.  It is God's faithfulness (and not our own!) that fuels our calling. The best thing you can do is just take it one step at a time.  Before I did anything, I simply prayed. Because our faithful God goes with you, you can be a light where it's dark. You ARE good enough. When God calls you, he also equips you.   Scripture References: Matthew 28:18-20 (ESV) The Great Commission: “Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”  Isaiah 61:1-3 (ESV) The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn; to grant to those who mourn in Zion— to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit; that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he may be glorified. 1 John 4:19 (ESV) “We love because he first loved us.” Matthew 28:18-20 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 17:20 He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” Esther 4:14 For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father's family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?”   Recommended Resources:  Outrageous Obedience by Rachelle Starr Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson YouVersion 7-Day Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day YouVersion 7-Day Devotional, Today is Going to be Another Good Day Breaking Anxiety's Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson Breaking Anxiety's Grip Free Study Guide Free 7-Day YouVersion Bible Reading Plan for Breaking Anxiety's Grip Hope Prevails: Insights from a Doctor's Personal Journey Through Depression by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the Christian Literary Award Reader's Choice Award Hope Prevails Bible Study by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the Christian Literary Award Reader's Choice Award Trusting God Through Cancer 1 Trusting God Through Cancer 2 Revive & Thrive Women's Conference Subdue Stress and Anxiety: Fifteen Experts Offer Comprehensive Tools in Ten Minutes a Day.

She is also the author of Outrageous Obedience: Answering God's Call to Shine in the Darkest Places. The month of January is sex trafficking awareness month. Rachelle knows firsthand from her work with Scarlet Hope, spending the last 15 years loving on and building relationships with women who work in strip clubs, and the world of porn and prostitution, and shares with us some of what she's seen, how a woman finds herself entrapped in such a situation, and what its like to see their lives totally changed by Christ and having some of their physical needs addressed for them to experience rescue holistically as well. Rachelle's book is a galvanizing experience full of questions for each of us who are called to love like Jesus, and her passion for Christ, and for the hurting is contagious. Buckle up, you guys, this is one story you won't want to miss hearing, and perhaps the Lord even has something just for you and your story in it.

In 2007 Rachelle Starr founded Scarlet Hope as a ministry to share the hope and love of Jesus with women in the adult entertainment industry in Louisville. Since then they have expanded to seven cities across North America. I got to sit down with Rachelle and talk about how she got involved in helping women in the sex industry, the lessons she learned from years of running Scarlet Hope, and how the church can be involved in caring for women in the adult entertainment industry. This is a really complex and difficult topic that I have been wanting to learn more about and I'm really glad that Rachelle was willing to share her insights with me. I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation. Learn more about Scarlet Hope at their website https://scarlethope.org/ Follow Rachelle on Instagram @rachellestarr.co I am always @itsthevalk Cheers Fam.

Learn How to Create Your Elevator Pitch and Hear an Example of a Personal Brand Strategy Session for a Multi-Passionate Entrepreneur   Brand strategy.   It is the cornerstone of building a brand and business whether you are a small company, corporation, product business, or entrepreneur.   Your story and how you use it to differentiate yourself is what ultimately, determines the depth of your connection with your ideal audience. Sarah Braud shares a love for brand strategy with me.   Although we work in different ways with different client types, our end goal is to support our clients in building brands for success. About Sarah Sarah Braud is a writer, brand marketing consultant, and keynote speaker who loves talking about how entrepreneurs and leaders can use storytelling devices to connect with audiences.  Her writing has been published in a variety of online publications, including Art House America, Hippocampus, Numero Cinq, and Hungry Mountain. Sarah is most proud of her scripts, many of which have been produced by Nadus Films.   She also taught at the University of Pennsylvania and Vanderbilt University in their English Language learning Program.   From there, she went back to school to get a master's in creative writing.   When money wasn't readily available as a creative writer, Sarah went into social media marketing.  Instead of focusing on analytics, she wanted to focus on branding and storytelling so she sold her business and started another to focus on brand marketing strategy. Collaboration over Competition There is no benefit to getting caught up in the competition between two businesses.  Instead, when people work together to collaborate, they can take their efforts to the next level and help more people.  Likewise, the phrase community over competition applies to the conversation with Sarah. We are all better off when supporting each other versus comparing and competing. The Story Brand Sarah is a firm believer in Don Miller's “The Story Brand”.   She believes in the concept that your client is the hero and you are not.   Likewise, storytelling helps clients' brains rest and focus on what problem you will solve for them and helps them find clarity. When applying brand strategy, it really isn't your story you are telling, it's your customer's story.  You are coming alongside your client to help them and solve their problem.  Similarly, our brands are not about us they are about what others think of us.   Above all, brands are about differentiation and that is where stories come in to help us connect and build relationships. Authenticity is Key for a Good Brand Strategy People can tell when others are telling their stories to bolster themselves or whether they are telling their own stories to serve others.  Your brand story can include your own personal story, but if your motivation is to serve your client by telling your story, people will be drawn to you.   You want to use your story to connect with others and serve customers.  The key is to serve others. Using Brand Strategy and Storytelling to Create a Tagline The tagline is your one-liner.   It is an inspiring way to express your aspirational identity.  Telling what it is that your customer will feel or the transformational story your client will feel.  Think of Nike and “Just Do It”.  It is about connecting with the clients' inner self.  Above all, a tagline is a way to connect emotionally with your ideal audience. Using Brand Strategy and Storytelling to Create an Elevator Pitch Your elevator pitch is a micro-story.  The idea behind it is that if you get on an elevator, you only have 30 seconds, the time between floors 1 and 3 to tell your story.  It is condensing your story to the most important elements. There are three parts to your elevator pitch or any story: The problem – tell the problem you are solving. How you will solve the problem. What happens once the problem is solved. Problem, Solution, Results! This template can be used for doing case studies, product descriptions, and almost anything you do in copywriting. Writing Scripts for Films Nadus Films makes films to help people make a difference, primarily working with non-profit organizations.  Sarah has helped with writing scripts and creating the narratives for the films.  She also helps build storyboards for projects. Using and Creating Story Boards To Build Your Brand Strategy Take parts of a story using Don Miller's 7-part story building framework. Create a document that pieces out the different parts of the story.  Through using this process, Sarah has created her own framework called the non-profit narrative.  Visually block out the parts of the story you want to show. Example of the film on Sarah's website for Scarlet Hope in Louisville, Kentucky. N – Name Name your target audience, their age, background, goals, and dreams A – Adversity The problem they are experiencing.  Show how the problem is being amplified so show the statistics, political climate, context, and added complications that make adversity even harder. R- Reason What is your philosophy and mission statement – your “why” A – Achievement Demonstrate you are a trustworthy partner. Success stories, partners, etc. T – Tactic What is the plan, how will you serve this population to create change? I – Invitation or call to action How can your audience help? What can they do, what is the next step they can take; become an ambassador, donate, or volunteer? V – Vision What does transformation look like?  What does the other side of the journey look for? E – Extended metaphor Clues to details for the story. Symbols, objects, animals, etc. that demonstrate your work. Mini Personal Brand Strategy Coaching Session How do you create a personal brand when you are a multi-passionate entrepreneur? Sarah has her brand marketing clients, an online course that teaches her NARATIVE Framework, and how non-profits can tell their stories using film, and she has her own creative writing. The question is: How can Sarah create a brand strategy for all of these things with one message? It is very hard to narrow focus as a multi-passionate person. Think of your personal brand as an hourglass.  All of our ideas and goals and dreams are at the top of the hourglass.  Where the hourglass narrows, that is where we begin to focus. At this point, we want to look at our values, visions, and passions.  Ask yourself what really fuels you and what your visions are. Make a list of your values, visions, and passions.   What items in the three columns mirror each other or feel like a marriage?  What is the common thread? Now the hourglass begins to open back up. Think of it as a flow-chart. Sarah, the personal brand is at the top. The buckets of her business fall underneath Sarah as the overarching brand.  But the common thread is storytelling.   Now Sarah shares with her audience on all of her platforms that she uses storytelling to help her clients find clarity, spark interest, and attract more clients. Sarah will now begin to describe herself as a storyteller.  No matter which bucket of work Sarah is doing, she is using creative writing and storytelling to serve others. Now that Sarah has identified that her personal brand is herself and her gift of being a storyteller, she can create consistent and cohesive content to tell her audience what she does. Sarah can now begin to share content across all of her platforms from her website to her social media pages and all of the content will refer to her as a creative storyteller and using stories to solve problems for her clients. Sarah's favorite phrase: You can't read the label from inside the bottle.  She is referring to the fact that we all need outside help once in a while to achieve clarity and further our business. Keep a Breast In February of 2020, just before the Covid pandemic hit the United States.  Sarah is very fortunate that she was diagnosed with stage 1A cancer and even though it was an aggressive form of breast cancer, it was diagnosed early and Sarah didn't have to go through chemotherapy and radiation.  She had a double mastectomy in March and reconstruction surgery in June. Sarah's advice is that early detection can save your life.   She is now working with a non-profit organization, Keep a Breast, that promotes early detection.   Keep a Breast has an app that reminds young women to do monthly breast exams. Sarah offers a free clarity and connection website audit that you can access here:   https://mailchi.mp/5f5882378c44/cc   Learn more about Sarah and connect with her: Website: https://www.braudcreative.com Twitter: www.twitter.com/braudknows Facebook: www.facebook.com/braudcreative Instagram: instagram.com/braudcreative LinkedIn: linkedin.com/sarah-braud Learn more about your host, Robyn Graham, click HERE.

CONTENT WARNING: Heads up parents! In this episode I talk about a ministry called Scarlet Hope that takes the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the ladies that work in strip clubs.  I don't ever say anything more graphic than the words "strip club" but if you don't want to explain what that means to your kids, you might want to skip 13:25-19:50. Whoa, what an episode! We talk about Peter's revelation to take the Gospel to the Gentiles, what that means for us, how to receive revelation for ourselves, and how to honor the revelation that the Lord has already given us.  Also I talk about how I got my name (spoiler alert, I'm named after the song Alexis by the James Gang) and if you listen to the whole episode, you can hear that song at the end of the show! Be on the lookout for Bonus Content coming later this week about Peter's prison break and Herod and the worms!!!

Taking Christian Rap to the Clubs: The Controversy After reading an article about Rachelle Starr who took LeCrae’s CD Rebel into the Louisville strip clubs as part of her ministry Scarlet Hope, I was inspired to talk about the variety of methods Christians are using to try and reach the lost. At first, I was skeptical to say the least. Yet, as I began to research more about Scarlet Hope, beyond the LeCrae instance, I found there was a lot more to the story. So this episode examines the controversy of her approach as well as instances in Scripture where God instructs His prophets to take some seemingly controversial and strange actions as a part of their ministry to Israel. Take a listen and you may decide that we can’t draw conclusions based on controversy.

Taking Christian Rap to the Clubs: The Clarification In the previous episode, I discussed Scarlet Hope founder Rachelle Starr who took LeCrae’s CD Rebel to a strip club as a part of her ministry. I concluded that yes, her ministry is certainly controversial, but it can’t be discounted just because of the controversy. God’s prophets also were called to some pretty controversial actions. So does that mean we should all go to the strip clubs to evangelize? Certainly not! In this episode, I bring some clarifications that the actions of the prophets were unique. Mrs. Starr and the ministry of Scarlet Hope is unique. But you don’t take my word for it; I’ve interviewed Rachelle for this episode. Check out this episode to hear part one of our interview.

Taking Christian Rap to the Clubs: The Compassion This third episode in the series Taking Christian Rap to the Clubs is the conclusion of my interview with Rachelle Starr, founder of Scarlet Hope. In this second half of our interview, I asked Rachelle to address what safeguards she has put in place to avoid harm and temptation in such a risky ministry, as well as other critiques of her ministry. She tells a bit more about the church community supporting her ministry and the compassion for these women that compels her to reach out to them through Scarlet Hope. It was evident that she is focused on the Great Commission and moved with compassion. So, if compassion is motivating us, does that validate all of our approaches to evangelism? Stay tuned to part four of the series for the answer to that question.
