Sarah Bessey: The Impact of Rachel Held Evans
Episode 154
Sunday, 22 February, 2026
Who was Rachel Held Evans to you? For many of us, she was a prophet ahead of her time, an early voice that taught us how to investigate what we believed and why. For Sarah Bessey, Rachel was also a dear friend and partner in online ministry from the early blogging world to the creation of Evolving Faith. Sadly, Rachel passed away unexpectedly in 2019 when she was only 37 years old. In “Braving the Truth,” Sarah Bessey has compiled Rachel’s early blog posts and some unfinished pieces along with essays from friends of Rachel’s like Jen Hatmaker, Matthew Paul Turner, Shane Claiborne, Brian McLaren, Peter Enns, Lisa Sharon Harper and others. Sarah is here to talk about the church of today and how Rachel’s words still ring true and relevant for an entire generation looking for sanctuary.
