Rachel Pellegrino’s story of becoming a Christian children’s book publisher will teach you to look to your own passions and experiences—even into your grief and darkness—to discern what God has called you to do with your life.
When she was in the middle of grief, Rachel couldn’t have imagined what she would be doing today. At the time, her dream to publish children’s books wasn’t even on her radar. But a few business courses, a conversation with her husband, and some outreach to people in an industry she’d never worked in were steps that brought this dream to fruition four years ago.
God revealed to her that the dream was not too big for Him and that He had a plan and a purpose to grow Rachel’s faith and to flourish this dream for her good and for the benefit of others.
Her story is a reminder that it’s okay if your dream is not crystal clear from the beginning. And it’s okay if you find yourself fighting back uncertainty, fear and insecurity, like she did. You’ll hear how she did that and how taking the next step played a role in getting over those early start-up fears.
Let this episode serve as a reminder that God calls you to be who you are, right now, in whatever season you’re in and that He can use anything in your life, good or bad, to shape your dream.
