Courtney Brackin is an amazing light of God who loves others well because she is drawn Jesus. One of her passions is Bible study and being available to those who are questioning faith. She desires to get others rooted and grounded in His life-giving Scripture as they live in this tumultuous world.

Courtney is originally from North Carolina, a twin, whose identity became more distinctive in college, who traveled the world, lived in Africa as a single woman, ministered to youth and is the founder of “Sea Glass Mission”

She married Eric on the beach in Naples, Florida in her 40’s where she became a wife and a step-mom of four children. She has been in full time ministry for 25 years. It was my sheer delight to interview her for this episode of “the real deal” podcast.

Ever wish you could have a conversation with a person you've only known from afar? For Rachel one of those individuals is Chris Blackeby. The strong pull to meet him and converse was because Chris challenged, shifted paradigms and encouraged her own faith journey.

Chris is the Creative Education Director of As He Is Ministries. He loves God, His Word and has a passion for the power of the Gospel and demystifying the spiritual. With a profound understanding of the pure and undiluted gospel and the New Creation, Chris has a passion for helping all God's children live a religion-free life as Sons of God and the redemption of creation.
