About the episode
"It's so wild when you say 'yes' and you let Him in and you just let Him lead, because His plans are so much greater than our own."
As Rachel Smith went through her young adult life, she thought that she had everything figured out. But she noticed was that while things were going well in her life, there was still something missing. It wasn't until she was on a packed commuter train on the way to work when she started asking the tough questions. This led her to seek truth about the Catholic faith that she grew up in. When she discovered God in a personal way, Rachel saw that God had big plans not only for her life but for the lives of those around her. In this episode, Rachel and I talk about what led her to ask the tough questions, the origins of her podcast To Grow Good, and how a conversation with her grandfather helped her to see God’s greater purpose in life.

Meet Rachel Smith
Rachel Smith lives and works in Massachusetts. She recently had a deep reversion back to her Catholic faith, as a result of a series of personal and intimate encounters with the living God. Her journey has sparked the Holy Spirit within her, who has led her to start a new podcast, To Grow Good. To Grow Good is a podcast of conversion stories and a place to reveal personal encounters with God. Each episode shares the personal story of someone's own background, journey and encounter with Jesus Christ that led them to want to give their “yes” and follow Him. The guest shares about how He first worked His way into their heart, and how He has played a role in their life since. God is so real, so alive right now—and He wants to meet you, too. Connect with us! Listen to To Grow Good on Apple, Spotify, Anchor or Google Podcasts.
As mentioned, Rachel very kindly asked me to be on To Grow Good, and it was there that I shared my story of conversion in full! You can listen to that episode of To Grow Good here.
