Faith It 'Til You Make It
Faith It 'Til You Make It
Welcome to Faith It 'Til You Make It—the podcast for people who love Jesus but also have a tendency to cry in parking lots. Hosted by Rachael (that’s me—hi), this show is for the spiritually curious, the burnt-out believers, and anyone who's ever tried to pray through gritted teeth. I started this podcast because life is messy, faith is complicated, and I got tired of pretending I had it all together. Spoiler: I don’t. Neither do you. That’s why we’re here. Each week, I show up—cracked heart, caffeine in hand—to talk honestly about what it means to walk with God when nothing feels very holy. There will be laughter. There will be oversharing. There may be emotional whiplash. So if you’re over curated perfection and want something real, raw, and occasionally ridiculous... pull up a chair. You’re in messy, blessed company.

Obedience Isn't Obligation

Obedience Isn't Obligation

Obedience—it’s a word that can make even seasoned believers squirm. Too often we hear it and think rules, restrictions, obligation. But what if obedience is actually an invitation into deeper trust, freedom, and transformation?

In this episode of Faith It ’Til You Make It, Rachael unpacks the true meaning of obedience in scripture, showing how it’s rooted in relationship, not legalism. From Abraham’s leap of faith to Peter’s shaky steps on the water, we’ll explore how obedience reveals our trust in God’s character more than our circumstances. You’ll learn how to distinguish between descriptive and prescriptive passages, discover the power of “micro‑obedience” in everyday chaos, and see why every small yes plants seeds of transformation.

This isn’t about perfection—it’s about positioning yourself to hear God’s voice more clearly, grow in character, and step into the blessings He’s already prepared for you.

Tune in to discover why obedience isn’t about obligation—it’s about invitation, alignment, and becoming more like Jesus in the middle of your messy, beautiful life.
