Welcome to the Storytellers Live podcast where everyday women share real and personal stories of encounters with God.

I am your host Robin and I'm here with Lindy and Katie.

And today we have Rachel's story from Atlanta.

And this one is really neat because I've known about Rachel for several years.

I have heard her story and she actually runs a ministry very similar to storytellers called Be Still. And for years, people kept saying, you'll need to meet. You need to meet. And we never did. And so during this quarantine, God really put it on my heart to reach out to her. And she immediately said, yes, I would be so willing to share my story. And so Katie's going to tell us a little about it. Well, her story is amazing. We called it,

your pain is your superpower, because you're not going to believe the walk that she has been on.

But what's so wonderful is that walk, that painful walk that she went on really led her to know the Holy Spirit more.

She was able to let go of secrets and shame in her past. And I think her story is going to bring

you so much hope and encouragement. Yes, and she is funny. Yes, and she is funny. So anyways,

we hope you enjoy Rachel's story.

Before we begin today's episode, I want to remind everyone about our partnership with Never Thirst.

Never Thirst is a ministry that brings clean and living water to unreached people groups in

Africa and Asia.

That's right, Lindy.

You know, before we partnered with Never Thirst, I did not realize that nearly 800 million people do not have access to clean water.

And over 2,300 children die every day because of lack of water or poor sanitation.

And one of the things that I really like is their unique model that they partner with the local church in those communities.

And so before a well is ever built, they have 100% buy-in and funding for that community

so that the people are engaged and the people are responsible for their well.

And oftentimes the burden of water falls on the women, so they're empowering women.

So go check them out at neverthirstwater.org or follow them on Instagram at never

thirst water. Join us in partnering with never thirst today.
