Have you ever felt God stirring something in your heart that seemed impossible or even crazy? In today's episode, Rachel sits down with her friend Caron Otto, director of Harvest Hills Ministries, to explore what happens when we say yes to God's unexpected calling.

Caron shares the incredible story of how a "holy itch" led her family from suburban Powell, Ohio to a foreclosed horse farm that would become a place of redemption and restoration. From her husband's mysterious desire to start farming in their backyard to discovering the perfect property during a traffic jam, you'll hear how God orchestrated every detail—even negotiating with the bank in ways people said they'd "never heard of happening."

But this isn't just about starting a ministry. Caron opens up about:
How to discern between God's voice and our own plans
The spiritual principle of "chase it till it dies"—pursuing what God places on your heart until He releases you from it
Why working alongside other families has unexpectedly strengthened community bonds
The miraculous story of Karen's birth and instant healing that shaped her family's faith in prayer

Whether you're feeling called to something that seems impossible, struggling to hear God's voice clearly, or wondering how to create space for ministry in your own life, this conversation will encourage you to trust God's timing and methods—even when they don't make sense.

Untangling Prayer with Rachel Wojo

Have you ever whispered "God, please" and wondered if it even counted as a prayer?

Untangling Prayer is for women who want to pray but feel stuck, exhausted, or at a loss for words. Each week, we dig into the hard questions —like how to pray when God feels silent or when you're too tired to try. Then we get practical. You'll walk away with real steps you can take today.

We all need the reminder that prayer matters, so every episode ends with a true story of answered prayer to remind you: God is listening, and He still answers prayer today.

I'm Rachel Wojo. I've prayed from hospital hallways and from the floor of my closet. I've been Hannah, pleading for something impossible. Prayer isn't a theory. It's my guide for both surviving and thriving.

About the host: Rachel Wojo is a Christian speaker and author who helps women pray when life is falling apart. She spent 22 years as a caregiver for her daughter Taylor, who had a terminal illness, and has walked through the loss of both her parents. Rachel is the author of Desperate Prayers and Praying the Promises of Godand speaks at women's retreats and conferences nationwide. Find her at rachelwojo.com.
