"He's shown me so much about my true identity, healing those places as a woman in the world, and then giving me purpose, and then giving me work and keeping me busy." — Rachel Smith
Meet Rachel Smith
Rachel Smith lives and works in Massachusetts. She recently had a deep reversion back to her Catholic faith, as a result of a series of personal and intimate encounters with the living God. Her journey has sparked the Holy Spirit within her, who has led her to start a new podcast, To Grow Good. To Grow Good is a podcast of conversion stories and a place to reveal personal encounters with God. Each episode shares the personal story of someone's own background, journey and encounter with Jesus Christ that led them to want to give their “yes” and follow Him. The guest shares about how He first worked His way into their heart, and how He has played a role in their life since. God is so real, so alive right now—and He wants to meet you, too. Connect with us! Listen to To Grow Good on Apple, Spotify, Anchor or Google Podcasts. Follow us on Instagram @togrowgood, or visit togrowgood.com to learn more.
As mentioned, Rachel very kindly asked me to be on To Grow Good, and it was there that I shared my story of conversion in full! You can listen to that episode of To Grow Good here.
