  • Rahab’s Radical Faith: Trusting God When Everything Is Falling Apart | Shepnaz Podcast
    Jun 29 2026

    Today on the Shepnaz Podcast, Pastor Zack sits down with Pastor Natalie to unpack one of the most powerful and often overlooked stories in Scripture—Rahab.

    In the middle of fear, uncertainty, and a collapsing city, Rahab made a bold choice: she trusted God. While an entire culture knew about God, she was the one who acted in faith—and it changed everything.In this episode, we explore:

    • The story of Rahab in Joshua 2 & 6
    • Why faith isn’t just knowing—it’s acting
    • How God uses unexpected people for His purposes
    • What it looks like to trust God when life feels uncertain

    👉 Be encouraged: your past doesn’t disqualify you, and your faith can make an eternal difference.
