Everyday Prayers for Love: Learning to Love God, Others, and Even Yourself

Rachael Adams wants to wholeheartedly live out her faith through her roles as a wife, mother, daughter, friend, church member, writer, speaker, and podcast host. She realized her love for God and sharing His love for others through His Word while leading Bible studies in her home church.  

She began her podcast, The Love Offering, in January 2019. To date, Rachael has interviewed nearly 260 men and women. Each week, she interviews guests who are loving people well with the gifts they have been given and living out their faith in practical ways.

In October 2020, Rachael began The Love Offering blog series. Every Thursday, she publishes stories from guest writers on living out the greatest commandments.

Through her own experience and the conversations she’s had, Rachael realized that many Christian women doubt what they have to offer. This prompted her to write a devotional titled A Little Goes a Long Way: 52 Days to a Significant Life, published in 2022.

In addition to facilitating a weekly Bible study, Rachael leads a quarterly women’s event called The Gathering. This is held at her home church, but women from all over her community and state travel to attend.

Rachael believes people want to make their everyday lives count but do not believe they can make a significant impact. Her hope through her ministry is to encourage women to realize their God-given purpose and embolden them to move into the world through compassionate action. She prays it leads others to salvation, into a deeper relationship with God, and loving service that points people to Him. She believes that when we love God by loving others, we fulfill our overarching mission as Christians and live a life marked by faithfulness.

Rachael received her Bachelor of Arts from Transylvania University. She and her husband Bryan live in Kentucky with their two children. Connect with her by visiting rachaelkadams.com.
