I wrote a blog post about Rachel Barkey a while back after I came across a moving talk she had given in March, probably the most convicting and inspiring message I’ve ever listened to. For those of you who don’t know, Rachel was diagnosed with terminal cancer in January and given only weeks to live. We’ll Rachel passed away July 2. She has left behind her husband Neil and her two young children Quinn and Kate.
If you didn’t get a chance to watch or listen to her message, I would really encourage you to do so. It is an hour well spent. I listened to it a second time yesterday and felt like I gleaned even more. I’m so thankful that it has caused me to step back and reflect on my own life and areas (and attitudes) that need adjusted. I’m convinced that amazing things would happen if we Christians would live understanding and acting on the four things she suggests we know!
Here is a link to Rachel’s message:
