Rachel was married right out of college and, at 23, lost her first husband to a brain aneurism.

A few years later she remarried and with a 5-month-old and a toddler she lost her second husband to an Air Force Plane accident.

God took Rachel on a journey of healing that went way beyond her grief to freedom from the constraints of religion and the boundless power of grace.

Out of her own healing, speaker and author, Rachel Faulkner Brown,  founded Never Alone Widows, the largest Christian widows’ ministry 501C3 in the country.

Her new book, Widow’s Might: 365 Days of Strength for Grief and Lossoffers powerful stories of women who have walked the path of widowhood and found solace, strength, and peace along the way.  

In this conversation Rachel shares her own story of loss, the journey of grieving and the journey of healing, regretting that her husbands didn’t know the version of her she is today, and trying to do the “Christian thing” verses getting real with a real God.

Honestly, there is something in this conversation for each of us.

Also, Shawna shares how she reluctantly knocked on the neighbors door to confess she ran over their chickens and left with a dozen eggs. That’s grace.
