Faith, Focus & Ferocity: Thriving in Times of Change

Mission to Encourage: Living Audaciously in God’s Purpose
You are not “too” anything—God made you exactly as you are, in His image, for a reason. No matter where you’ve been, what you’ve faced, or how unqualified you feel, you are called to something audacious. Rachel Joy Baribeau explores what it means to pour into people, plant seeds of faith, and trust that God is moving, even when we don’t see the full picture. She dives into the practice of wearing the “Garment of Openness”—waking up each day with a heart ready to receive divine encounters, opportunities for connection, and moments of purpose. She also challenges us to plant seeds for trees we may never sit under—investing in people, acts of kindness, and faith-driven actions without expecting immediate rewards. Because the truth is, our strength alone is never enough. We are called to lean on God, to trust in His timing, and to step boldly into our calling, even when we don’t have all the answers. This episode will inspire you to: Embrace who God created you to be—without apology. Say yes to opportunities that stretch you beyond your comfort zone. Stop depending on your own strength and trust in God’s plan. Live with intention, purpose, and an open heart. God didn’t create you to shrink back—He created you to DO something! Step into your audacious purpose and start living with relentless joy today. This episode was originally published by Sandee Macgregor on Conversations and Connections. https://sandeemacgregor.com/ Be sure to check out her podcast to hear the stories and testimonies of Christians who have developed their faith and their relationships with God in many different ways, with the intention of glorifying all the ways in which He shows up in our lives.

Relentless Joy launches on June 20th. As part of the launch, some of Rachel's friends got together to create a Book Launch Team. Rachel has been going into the group live each week to discuss the book and share the stories behind the stories you'll read in the book. This week: Rachel talks about staying in Ernest Hemingway's house while on safari in Kenya, a gift from her Aunt Karen. She discovered it was the home of a "rad chick" named Martha Gellhorn, a war correspondent who traveled to war zones and covered conflicts for 60 years. In this episode, Rachel asks how Martha rectified the polarity of her experiences: to see death and destruction in such an intimate way, etched on the faces of strangers. She says in Relentless Joy , "I thought I was going for a safari. Instead, a gutsy war correspondent reached across history to challenge me to look at the dichotomy of joy and pain in my own life."

The Story Behind This Week's Mental Health Game at Utah State
On September 24th, I'm Changing the Narrative is hosting a Mental Health Awareness Game with Utah State. And, I want you to know the back story. When I hug Coach Blake Anderson this weekend, you'll know the heartache that we've experienced together and what he's experienced as a father who lost his son. And, you'll know that this goes way beyond football and his team, and why he's so passionate about mental health resources. Because that's what Blake is all about. He's not just a football coach. He's a father, a husband, and he cares about his players - not just on the field, but off the field too. I hope you'll be inspired to get mental health resources for yourself, for your family, for your school, your team, your community. Mental health affects everyone. It's time to start talking about it and raising awareness. If you are struggling or feeling hopeless, please reach out for help. There are resources available for you. You're not alone.
