What is it to be lonely? Is it a season of God calling us to draw close to him? Or is it a burden to be borne, and, where possible, alleviated? How can we as the church help those who struggle with loneliness? How can we work through our own loneliness with faith? Rachel talks about all this and more with her dear friend Monika Osbourne.

Gossip destroys friendships, communities, and, sometimes, entire lives. How can a few badly chosen words be so destructive? And if gossip is so destructive, why are we so tempted to engage in it? And maybe most importantly, how can Christian women fight against it through the power of Jesus Christ? Listen as Rachel discusses it all with the one and only Dana Higgins.

Is it always sin to feel fear or anxiety? Why do so many women experience those feelings and how can we fight them? How can we rest in God and stop being afraid or discontent? Rachel sits down again with Mary Arnold, Women's Ministry Director of Christian Fellowship Church, to look into the scriptures and talk it out. Give your fears and anxieties to God today!

Comparison kills. As does the bitterness, jealousy, and other sinful feelings it can bring with it. So why do so many women give them to it? And what can we do to fight against it through the blood of Jesus? Rachel and Heather Jones continue to sort it all out in this episode.

Comparison can be poisonous. Many women in particular find themselves comparing their spiritual gifts, friendships, material possessions, and many other things to those God has given to other people. And Satan uses it to wreck havoc in their lives. Sl how can we fight against the cancer that is (the wrong sort of) comparison? Rachel and Heather Jones begin to sort it all out in this episode.

It's not wrong to want to do well at things. But perfectionism is not the same thing as holiness. And sometimes it can be very far from it. As Rachel continues to discuss the topic with Mary Arnold (Women's Ministry Director of Christian Fellowship Church), they get real and share some stories from their own lives of how they've fought perfectionism in themselves, and observed it in other people. If you're ever tempted to trust in your own powers instead of God, this is the podcast for you.

What is perfectionism, and why does it assail so many women? How do we fight it, and what sort of perfection should we strive for? Not all the answers are obvious, but the good news is that Rachel gets to discuss them with Mary Arnold, Women's Ministry Director of Christian Fellowship Church. The ladies take a deep dive into scripture that no perfectionist (and who isn't a perfectionist about something?) should miss!

How do you die to the flesh? Why is this necessary for the Christian walk and what does it look like practically? In this episode of Pursue God, Rachel interviews Pastor Bobby Pell, who has plenty of wisdom on the topic to share.
