In this episode of Everything Made Beautiful, I had the absolute joy of sitting down with author, speaker, and all-around kindred spirit, Rebecca George. From the moment I picked up her book Do the Thing, I knew we shared the same heartbeat for helping women discern God's calling and walk it out with bold, gospel-centered obedience.Rebecca shares how her life mission—to leave people better than she found them and help them know Jesus more fully—shapes every part of her ministry. We talk about her newest book You're Not Too Late (and the surprising backstory behind that powerful title), what it looks like to pursue our God-given callings without shame or hesitation, and how to navigate the “meanwhile” seasons of life—those liminal spaces of waiting, longing, and not-yet.We also explore how unmet desires can either drive us to resentment or draw us closer to God, and how things like envy and comparison often creep in when we're longing for what we see others receive. Rebecca offers practical wisdom on pre-deciding how we'll respond in those moments, and we even talk about the necessity of “chill hours”—those hard, cold seasons that actually prepare us to bear fruit.Whether you're just starting to sense a nudge from God or you've been sitting on a dream for years, this episode is for you. It's a tender, hope-filled conversation about obedience, timing, and the truth that you are not too late for the good works God prepared in advance for you.Rebecca's Books(NEW!)

Rebecca George is our first repeat guest! She's here to share her new book, “You're Not Too Late,” which serves as a guide for those of us feeling the pressure to rush through life. In this conversation, we're tackling the misconceptions of the “prosperity gospel,” exploring how it can lead to burnout, disappointment, and a feeling of inadequacy. Listen in as we highlight that trusting in God's timing is not just a nice sentiment - it's the lifeline we need in a culture that values speed over substance.This episode is more than just a conversation; it's a heartfelt invitation to slow down, breathe, and trust that we are all exactly where we need to be in life.Episode HighlightsRebecca shares what breathing room looks and feels like for her and how that has changed since our conversation last year. The danger of the prosperity gospel lies in its pressure to constantly achieve more, which can lead to burnout and disappointment. Both joy and grief can coexist beautifully in our lives; it's all about recognizing that it's okay to feel multiple emotions at once.Intentional time-blocking is key to reclaiming your time and prioritizing what truly matters, whether it's self-care, family, or just some well-deserved downtime.Trusting God's timing when life feels like a hurry-up-and-wait situation is a skill worth cultivating; it's all about finding peace in the process.Resources MentionedYou're Not Too Late: Trusting God's Timing in a Hurry-Up World by Rebecca GeorgeDo the Thing: Gospel-Centered Goals, Gumption, and Grace for the Go-Getter Girl by Rebecca GeorgeRelated Episodes You Might Also LikeEP 2 - Slow Growth and Capacity with Mary MarantzEP 18 - Giving Yourself Grace Through Seasons of LifeEP 26 - Conquering Your Insecurities with Jenn SchultzEP 29 - Identity and Purpose with Chronic Pain and IllnessEP 40 - Pursuing Purpose with Rebecca George EP 41 - Are You Sleepwalking Through Life?Connect with RebeccaWebsite: www.radicalradiance.liveFacebook: @radicalradiancepodcastInstagram: @rebeccageorgeauthorBook Website: www.nottoolatebook.liveConnect with RachelWebsite: racheldbaker.comInstagram: @rachel.d.baker Email:

In this episode of Radical Radiance, host Rebecca George and her husband, Dustin George, are joined by renowned apologist and bestselling author Lee Strobel, who talks about the vital evidence supporting the resurrection of Jesus AND his newest book Is God Real?.

They also touch on the topic of suffering in connection with God's existence, offering encouragement into Christianity's answer to why we endure pain and offering hope through Christ. Lee Strobel, former award-winning legal editor of the Chicago Tribune, is a New York Times bestselling author whose books have sold millions of copies worldwide.
