Here's today's conversation.

Hey everyone, and welcome back to another episode of Behind the Bliss.

I'm your host, Rachel, and I'm going to take a minute to be honest with you.

We had a different episode lined up for this week.

But after what we saw happen in Dayton, El Paso, I felt moved by the spirit to bring a message that was going to equip us, to armor us up for a battle that's bigger than ourselves, to kind of give us a bigger picture, maybe a different perspective than the one that we're used to listening to. We have a message of hope. We have hope that the story does not end here, that this is not our home. We have important information that love conquers all. I think now more than ever the world needs to know that there's a savior. So we took the episodes a little bit out of order for

this week to be able to introduce to you a conversation I think is pretty timely. Today I'm sitting

down with a new friend. Her name's Brea Randall. She's a recent graduate. She's now living in D.C.

In this conversation, Brea touches on social justice topics that we all need to know.

She speaks to those that are brokenhearted about where our world and nation is today,

and she calls out the hope that's present in the midst of it all.

Being a recent graduate from Auburn, she was also her soror's president and she's now settling in D.C.

Brea has tons to share about recruitment, post-grad transition, making friends and community,

all the things. So not only is today's episode timely to the events that just occurred,

but it's also fun, uplifting, and gives you the hope that I think we all need right now.
