Episode 93: a conversation with BTG Podcast host, Mykelti Blum, and Rachelle Rawson–a wife, mother of six, and the 2025 Lund Leadership Award recipient who is madly in love with her Savior. Rachelle shares her reaction to being surprised with the Lund Leadership Award at the 2025 BTG Leadership Conference. The two discuss what it means to be an exceptional leader, and Rachelle shares characteristics of a leader operating under God’s ultimate leadership.
Rachelle has an incredible testimony of navigating difficult life circumstances and how she always saw God show up in amazing ways. She loves to share her Jesus stories, and we’re excited for you to hear some of them through this episode!
