EP 35: Rachel Joy - Drawing Near

"You are worth more than many sparrows."  -Matthew 10:31   My guest today is Rachel Joy. Rachel is a wife and mama to four beautiful children (Addison, Benjamin, Everett, and new baby Annie). Rachel has lead and taught Bible studies for over fifteen years, and it is her passion to see young women come to the powerful, saving grace and knowledge of Jesus. After hosting a college women's Bible study in 2010, God began to stir in Rachel a desire to gather young women together on a larger scale hear and study the Bible and to help them develop a fixed identity in Christ. She prayed through and developed the idea and, with the help of an amazing support team, the first Sparrow Conference was held in Denton, Texas in the fall of 2012.   In today's episode, you'll hear Rachel's heart and passion for the work she does, as well as all the details about this year's conference. The theme is "Draw Near" and the lineup of speakers is nothing short of spectacular.   Enjoy today's episode, "Drawing Near", and listen to the incredible story of a woman following her heart, listening for God, and stepping into a calling that is blessing people across the miles.
