I've known Rachel Faulkner Brown for close to 25 years. I still remember standing on a sidewalk at a retreat, hearing her casually drop the details of her story, and staring with my mouth open, because Rachel was full of joy as she told her unbelievable story.

Here's what you need to know going in: by the time Rachel was 31, she had been widowed twice. But the grief isn't actually the headline. Because underneath all of it was something Rachel had been carrying alone since childhood, a secret she had quietly made a deal with God never to tell. And as long as she kept it, she kept performing. Out-serving everyone. Never fully known, not even by the two men she'd loved and lost.

We talk about what it took for that to change, what it means to encounter the actual gospel instead of the performance-based version so many of us were handed, and how a Kroger meltdown cracked something open that two decades of Bible studies hadn't touched.

We also get into Never Alone Widows, now the largest Christian widows ministry in the US with chapters in over 90 cities, and her new Bible study Seen: From Desperation to Destiny.

This one is for anyone who is grieving, performing, or quietly wondering if anyone actually knows them. Enjoy this vulnerable and freeing conversation!
