Being Real
People listened and understood Rachel because she was very real with people about her Christianity. She was real about her relationship with God, and it impacted people in tremendous ways because they knew she was speaking from her heart. She communicated her concerns, her questions, and her triumphs of serving a living God. She didn't hand people watered-down, shmoopy-poopy, Bible-thumping verbal religious garbage that no one gets. She spoke in a language of honesty that anyone could interpret as real. People want truth, and she lived and spoke truth in the purest way possible, not by trying to follow Jesus' example, not by being an imitator, but by allowing Jesus to live the life He gives freely inside her! There is a huge difference!
