This past week I spent time at Smith Lake, Alabama with our Rally online community IRL! It filled me up and I learned just as much (if not more) as I lead and I needed to share a few things of encouragement with you if you're also in a space where you feel like woman can be a little "secretive" or gatekeep information, not hold space for you or carry a spirit of competition. There's hope! And this past week showed it! CONNECT FURTHER WITH RACHEL: https://rachelawtrey.com/ SOCIAL MEDIA: https://w...

If we're honest, we've all been there: "I don't know if I like life right now." It's a thought that creeps in and can steal joy and it's just no fun.

Today's conversation with Sara Hagerty will take you one step closer to getting out of the rut of this thought (if not completely out!). Join us as we talk about our own lives, limitations and how God meets us in the places we feel "bleh" about. CONNECT FURTHER WITH ...
