#SaturdaySpotlight is on Rachel Billups and Be Bold: Finding Your Fierce!

Good Morning!

Wednesday I promised to share the results of the Dixie League World Series. Drum roll please......

North Charleston won the tournament Undefeated! A wonderful, exciting week but now we're getting back to norm.

Today's guest is new to me so please welcome Rachel Billups with her book, Be Bold: Finding your Fierce.

For anyone who’s ever felt put down, unsure, underestimated, or overlooked, these biblical stories encourage you to recognize your own power and potential to be bold.


From the “thin slice of life” where she grew up with her family in Appalachia to success as pastor of a large church, Rachel Billups’s life stories show strength and grace even in the midst of doubt and wondering. With her brand of fierce she worked through years of school to become an accomplished pastor and mother of four. She took nothing lying down and found that being bold was the only way to be alive. In Be Bold, she weaves her stories into the lives of biblical characters. You will find redemption and insight in Sarah’s story, inspiration in Mary’s call, and ministry and community in Paul’s letter to Timothy. For anyone who hopes to find the fierce in their own lives, Billups’s work leads the way. In both her personal experience and her telling of Bible stories, Billups shows how being bold can bring you closer to God and God’s plan for your life.
