With all the troubles in this world some need a little help. We were never met to do this life on our own anyways. Sometimes it can just be that you feel stuck and unable to successfully change your feelings, thoughts or behaviors. It is likely that you are being affected by experiences from your past.  Any experiences that continues to exert a negative influence is traumatic.  Not all traumatic events are horrifying or tragic.  Sometimes traumatic experiences are remembered, but often they are repressed or forgotten.  I would like to introduced you to Guy Earle.  Guy Earle is a certified counselor in Rapid Resolution Therapy. He is also author of “Transformed Through His Thoughts.” and “Purpose is a Decision, Discover, Develop, and Disseminate the riches within you”.  Guy is the director of Counseling for Dr. Tony Evans at Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship  ( http://www.ocbfchurch.org /).  Guy is a speaker, trainer, author, and life coach. ...

Some people have spent there whole lives striving to be good enough for God.  To easer the mistakes you have made in your past.  But Jesus says I give you rest cause I have purchased that for you.  This is a whole different basics of approaching God.  Yes we work hard for God, Yes we do good things for God but it is not because you are doing it to gain favor with God. You do those things cause you have the favor of God!  It is favor given to you as a gift which includes rest from Christ.  You don’t have to prove yourself. So many people live their lives trying to prove themselves to somebody.  Your dad, your colleges, your brothers and sisters, the world, and anybody that will listen.  But in Christ, you have the approval of the only one who actually matters.  The highest being in all the universe could not regard you with more affection.  When you understand that the creator of all, loves you more than you can imagine, that releases y...

I was invited to Florida Music Festival ( http://www.floridamusicfestival.com /)  to be considered for a prize package that includes a main stage performance slot, VIP passes for all members, and a meet-and-greet with 2013 Florida Music Festival keynote speakers. Over a span of more than decade, the Florida Music Festival has helped gain industry exposure for then great unsigned artists like Taylor Swift, Flyleaf, Manchester Orchestra, The Academy Is, and many more. I was honored but at this time I know that my life can not fit what could happen with this.  I don’t want to go alone and leave my family to start tours and travel. I am praying for direction and seeking what God wants me to do. I still am shocked I get these offers.  But if God has this for me then everything will work and will not cause me to sacrifice my family.  So I do what keeps us together.  We do see this at some point in our lives but in Gods timing. Please Be in prayer with us! 

Heart behind the music..................... I love seeing people be set free from confusion and heartache.  God is so amazing!  When you feel you have no reason to smile he gives you unexplainable peace. I put my heart, life, and hope into my music.  I am inspired by the Word of God and a lot of the time it includes scripture in my songs. A simple tune will enter my head and then words just show up. I write songs down as they come and sometimes they come at the strangest times.  Not to often do I sit and decided I am going to write a song. I have a so many just sitting and waiting their turn to be heard. My heart behind the music is to reach people and influence them to seek truth and know Jesus Christ.   Church .................. Since We have been here at This Church we have seen 4 of our teens in the youth come out to stand and say they never truly were saved.  Conviction came upon them to surrender to God!  It has been over...

Updated on September 13, 2017 Let me introduce myself first. My name is Rachel Jackson, I am a singer/songwriter and speaker. My heart is to minister to people and encourage people to be real and honest with God, themselves, and others. My prayer is that through music and word will come healing, deliverance, restoration, and salvation. In ministering in this way a movement was started that has made a large impact in schools. I have been in ministry for 16 years reaching out to women, children, youth, and college aged students.  My music has received regular airplay on several radio stations across America. I have led worship in many settings from church camps to inside prison walls. I serve as a youth leader next to my husband that is the youth pastor of Angus Church in Sand Springs, OK.   Jared Jackson and I have 3 kids together and have been married for 13 years. I’ve been blessed with a life that lends itself to exploration and discovery. My greatest find during my...
