Be Bold and Find Your Fierce – Rachel Billups

 

Have you ever desired to “be bold” like some of the people you read about in the Bible?  Have you ever desired to “be bold” like some of those you look up to today?  Have you desired to “be bold” but, you really do not know what that means or how you should do it?

My guest today is here to share with you some insights in those areas!  Rachel Billups is a visionary, leader and author. She currently serves as Pastor and Lead Communicator of Ginghamsburg Church in Ohio. She partners with family and young adult ministries to dream and deploy discipleship opportunities for making young disciples of Jesus Christ. Rachel is an ordained Elder within the United Methodist Church and holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Bible/religion and History from Anderson University and a Master of Divinity Degree from Duke Divinity School. Rachel is the author of Be Bold: Finding Your Fierce. She and her husband, Jon, have four children – Adeline, Christopher, David and Sarah.

Help me welcome to the program, Rachel Billups!  Rachel, thank you for taking the time out of your schedule to join us today!

I want to get into your book, “Be Bold: Find Your Fierce” and to get some of the back story…but first, I always start with this question. Other than that brief bio I just read, tell us, in your own words, “Who is Rachel Billups?”

Ok. Thanks for telling us a little bit about your background. What kind of things did you have to work through to become, not just a pastor, but also a wife and mother of four children?

How did the Bible help to “become bold” in your life?

Give us some examples of people in the Bible who had to “be bold.”

When you first realized you had to become “fierce” in your own life, what were a few of the first steps you had to take to do so?

What thoughts did you have to overcome as you began down that path?

How did you counter resistance you encountered along the way?

At what point did you decide to help others to find their “fierce” for their own life?

What do you do on a regular basis that helps you to remain “bold and fierce?”

Have you had any feedback from others that have read your book and taken steps in their own life to be “bold and fierce?”

I know your book is available on Amazon. Is it available in book stores as well?

Rachel, I thank you for taking the time to visit with us today and give us encouragement to “Be Bold and Be Fierce.”  If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or maybe do an interview such as this, how can they do that?  How can they get in touch with you?

I’ll be putting links to all of this in the show notes below.

Folks, this is awesome! BE BOLD!  BE FIERCE!  Take charge! Amen!  You need to get this book by Rachel Billups and study this out for yourself!  Nobody will do this for you!  You need to do it FOR YOURSELF!  Do it for your family!  Do it in the Name of Jesus and take authority over things that try to “happen to you” in life!  BE FIERCE! Amen!

Go to the links in the show notes and purchase Rachel’s book right now!  “Be Bold: Finding Your Fierce” will be a great addition to your library and reading list. It will also make a great gift! I can almost guarantee you know somebody somewhere that can use this kind of encouragement! Amen!  So click on the link in the show notes and order your copy today!

That is all the time we have for today!  Rachel, I keep saying I have to get this clock fixed. On some interviews, like yours, it seems to run way to fast!

For Rachel Billups and myself, this is Pastor Bob reminding you to BE BLESSED IN ALL THAT YOU DO!

About your host

Profile picture for Robert Thibodeau

Robert Thibodeau

I am a 12 year Army veteran as both enlisted and as a commissioned Cavalry Officer.
I am now a retired law enforcement supervisor...

I had my own business for seven years before I entered law enforcement.

As a cop, I was injured on the job on May 12, 2007 and after several surgeries over a couple of years, forced to retire in 2011.

As I was looking down the road to “what am I going to do next?” I started what is now known as a podcast (I had no clue at the time).

Within six months of starting (what I called) “My online radio program” I was offered an opportunity to be on nationwide AM radio. I learned A LOT in one year of doing that!

I then started the online Christian radio platform "Evangelism Radio" in the fall of 2010. It has had listeners in 160+ nations and all 50 states. We host 50+ Christian broadcasters on a weekly basis. We have been operating 24/7 for almost 14 years now. We have been rated #1 in the world by Shoutcast. com on several occasions in our genre. We recently transferred ownership of Evangelism Radio to another ministry so I could concentrate full time on podcasting, preaching and writing.

In 2018, I started the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast to conduct interviews with Christian influencers from all walks of life and to play their interviews on the radio station. (The KCR Podcast has its own time slot on Evangelism Radio)!
We now have over 1600 episodes and almost 1100 interviews (in just over 6 years).

Looking out at the future of online Christian media, I noticed there was no viable platforms that catered only to the Christian podcast market.

In 2023, we launched a networking platform called, "FaithCasters" which connects "Great Christian podcasters with Great Christian Guests!" This helps to promote the work you do through podcast interviews! Check it out at https://FaithCaster.org

We recently launched "FaithCaster Academy" which serves as a training hub for ALL of our trainings (podcast training / speaker training / interview training, etc.). Members receive access to ALL of our training programs for one low, monthly membership fee. Members also receive FREE access to ALL of the LIVE trainings I conduct (1 or 2 per month) - while non-members have to pay to access the live trainings.

Between my podcast training program, conducting podcast interviews, appearing on other podcasts as guests, speaking at conferences (in person and virtually) and the podcast networking platform, I guess you could say “I’m all in” when it comes to podcasting and online media!

My total focus is to do all we can to assist you to “Get The Word Out” about your mission, services, products, ministry, books, business, etc.
