Rachael Groll: Finding Freedom and Purpose Beyond Trauma
I lost track of who God was because of everything that I was doing for him. It ran me into a space of just never feeling like I could measure up. Instead of having my identity in Christ, my identity was wrapped up in what I was doing.
Rachael Groll's story is one of transformation and hope. As a pastor, missionary, and author, Rachael has dedicated her life to pointing others towards Jesus. However, her journey hasn't been without its struggles. In this episode of 'Anchored by the Sword', hosted by Gina Fox, Rachael opens up about her personal battles with trauma and identity.
Her latest book, 'She Hears: Learning to Listen to Jesus', is more than just a guide—it's a reflection of her own path to freedom in Christ. Rachael candidly discusses how she once lost sight of who God was amidst her busy life of service. Her identity became entangled in her actions rather than in her faith, leading to feelings of inadequacy and a loss of purpose.
Through engaging with scripture and embracing the power of technology to connect with others, Rachael found her way back to a fulfilling relationship with Christ. This episode is a heartfelt conversation that underscores the importance of finding one's true identity in faith, rather than in deeds. It's an inspiring listen for anyone grappling with their own sense of self-worth or looking for spiritual renewal.
