Mehr Faith It 'Til You Make It

Faith It 'Til You Make It is where real life and real faith collide—no filters, no fluff, just honest conversations about navigating the mess with a little bit of hope and a lot of heart. Hosted by Rachael, this isn’t your polished, perfect Christian podcast. It’s for the God-curious and the faithful, the burnt-out and the barely-holding-it-together. Every episode is a reminder that faith isn’t about pretending everything’s fine—it’s about showing up anyway, doubts and all. Sometimes the holiest thing you can do is roll out of bed and whisper, “Okay, Lord. Let’s go.”

Episode When God Cancels Your Plans Cover

When God Cancels Your Plans

Have you ever felt like you were doing exactly what God wanted… only for everything to fall apart? In this episode of Faith It ’Til You Make It, I’m sharing the story of our annual mission trip to Mexico getting cancelled at the last minute—and the unexpected mix of disappointment, relief, guilt, and confusion that followed. Because this wasn’t God saying no to something reckless… this was God saying no to something good. I talk a lot about trusting God when He calls us to step out in faith—but what about when He closes the door instead? In this episode, I'm diving into: * What it feels like when God says no to your plans * Why disappointment can exist alongside faith * The tension of holding grief and gratitude at the same time * Letting go of guilt when your plans suddenly change * How to trust God when His “no” doesn’t make sense From cancelled mission trips to unexpected family moments, this episode is about learning how to see God not just in the yes, but in the no. If you’ve ever wrestled with disappointment, questioned God’s timing, or wondered what He’s doing when your plans fall apart, this one is for you. If this episode resonates, share it with someone who might be in a “no” season right now. And if you have a minute, leaving a review helps more people find the podcast.

Episode Hard Fought Hallelujahs: When Redemption Makes Us Uncomfortable Cover

Hard Fought Hallelujahs: When Redemption Makes Us Uncomfortable

The internet has been buzzing about Jelly Roll and his bold, public expressions of faith. Some are celebrating it. Others are questioning it. And as the comments rolled in, I found myself asking a deeper question: Why do we get so uncomfortable when someone’s redemption is loud? This episode isn’t about deciding whether someone else’s faith is real. It’s about examining our own heart posture when transformation doesn’t look polished, quiet, or fully finished. Why do we prefer testimonies in past tense? Why does visible, in-process faith make us skeptical? When does discernment turn into disguised cynicism? Through personal stories, honest confession, and biblical examples of messy redemption, we explore what it means to trust that God still works in unfinished stories — even when they make us uncomfortable. Because maybe the real question isn’t whether someone else’s faith is authentic. Maybe the question is whether we believe God still redeems people in ways that disrupt our expectations. If you’ve ever felt judged for your journey… If you’ve ever compared your testimony to someone else’s… If you’ve ever wrestled with skepticism in the name of “discernment”… This conversation is for you. Imperfect faith is welcome here. Messy faith is encouraged. Because a messy faith is better than no faith at all.

Episode Feeling Fake: Christian Imposter Syndrome Cover

Feeling Fake: Christian Imposter Syndrome

Have you ever felt like your growth looks fake? Like you’re trying on a version of yourself that doesn’t quite fit yet — especially in your faith? In this episode of Faith It ’Til You Make It, we’re unpacking what it really means to feel like an imposter after salvation. What if that awkward tension isn’t fraudulence… but formation? What if the discomfort isn’t hypocrisy… but growth? We’ll talk about: * The difference between justification and sanctification * Why spiritual growth feels oversized before it feels natural * How grief can masquerade as imposter syndrome * What happens when people “miss your middle” and mistake transformation for performance * The temptation to shrink so you feel familiar again If you’ve ever wondered whether you’ve changed too much — or not enough — this conversation is for you. The middle isn’t proof you’re fake. It’s proof you’re forming. Stay faithful. Stay becoming. And faith it ’til you make it.

Episode Borrowed Faith: Moving Beyond Inherited Faith Cover

Borrowed Faith: Moving Beyond Inherited Faith

What happens when someone asks you, “What do you believe?” And you realize your answer sounds more like something you were taught than something you’ve actually wrestled with? In this episode of Faith It ’Til You Make It, we talk about borrowed faith—the beliefs we inherit, absorb, and repeat without ever examining whether they’ve become our own. Inspired by a candid conversation with my 12-year-old, this episode explores why faith was never meant to be inherited, rehearsed, or outsourced—but discovered, questioned, and ultimately owned. We unpack why curiosity is not the enemy of faith, why doubt can actually deepen belief, and why unexamined faith becomes fragile when life starts asking harder questions. From parenting and culture to Scripture and conviction, this conversation challenges the idea that certainty is the goal—and invites us instead to build a faith that knows how to think, search, and return to truth. If you’ve ever felt unsure of why you believe what you believe… If your faith feels borrowed, unfinished, or shaken… Or if you’re trying to raise (or become) someone who can hold belief with wisdom and courage… This episode is for you. Because faith doesn’t become real because you were near it. It becomes real when you choose to step into it.
