RLC Network Rachel Ophoff

Rachel Ophoff

Rachel Ophoff met Jesus when she was 30 years old. For the last 35 years, they’ve bonded over addiction and recovery, beauty and brokenness, and even the loss of her daughter on a church outing. In the Evangelical Church, she found the family she never had. Sadly, their support of Donald Trump threw her for a loop. She rebounded by establishing an online community for recovering Evangelicals at https://rachelophoff.com. Now working to move past politics, she keeps her eyes open for those who offer the hope of Christ’s love in this brave, new, post-Evangelical world. She can be reached at TCR.Pag[email protected]

Heavy Burdens and Hope: A Review

Rachel Ophoff

Books, General, LGBTQ+
Until now, learning how to discuss these Bible bullets with any confidence seemed overwhelming. But Bridget Eileen Rivera has done all the heavy lifting.

Drawing My Own Map in a Post-Evangelical World

Rachel Ophoff
October 15, 2021
Church Life, General, Politics
For someone who thrives on order and stability, drawing my own map is more than navigating uncharted territory. It’s calling me to trust myself, trust God, and believe that the journey towards my own healing is worth the effort.

The Only Way is Through

Rachel Ophoff

Books, Church Life, Theology
I had no clue why something in me snapped. Then a couple of months ago, I picked up Brian McLaren’s book Faith After Doubt.

Kayla Craig is Resourcing Parents for These Times

Rachel Ophoff
September 1, 2021
Books, Church Life, Family and Parenting
For those worried about their kids in these days of active shooter drills and other unsettling events, Kayla Craig fearlessly opens doors into frightening scenarios. How do we pray about gun violence in schools? How do we talk to our kids about racism?

John Wayne, Jesus, and The End of Innocence

Rachel Ophoff
May 18, 2021
Books, Politics, Theology
The short answer, according to Dr. Kristin Kobes Du Mez, is that a man like Donald Trump is exactly whom they were expecting. Nothing like Jesus. But a lot like John Wayne.

Easter Encouragement for the Spiritually Homeless

Rachel Ophoff
March 30, 2021
Church Life, Family and Parenting, Theology
I can at least aim for a level of peace that transcends understanding. “Christ The Lord is Risen Today” will surely be available on YouTube.

You Don’t Have to Go Home But You Can’t Stay Here

Rachel Ophoff
February 28, 2021
Church Life, Politics, Theology
Letting go of the past and moving forward is a splendid suggestion. I’m just wondering how ministers and pastors will entice people to return to church. We saw how easily evil infiltrated our faith. Now we need to see how it is routed.

Hope’s Beautiful Daughters

Rachel Ophoff
December 19, 2020
Church Life, Politics, Practical Justice
Donald Trump may have lost the election, but it looks like Trumpism is here to stay. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined a well-defined ideology characterized by nativism, white supremacy, and conspiracy theories, embraced by American Evangelical leaders.

Scars of Honor: Fighting White Supremacy, Then and Now

Rachel Ophoff
October 13, 2020
Politics, Practical Justice, Race
My family has stood up for independence from England, for civil rights, and against fascism. I come from people who fight for what we believe to be right. Now honestly, I never thought I would have to stand up against my own people.

Fire in the Sky: On Divisions and Forgiveness

Rachel Ophoff
September 21, 2020
Church Life, Creation & Environment, Politics
Our country is at the boiling point in the divide between these two people groups. We listen to different news sources and make up our minds accordingly. There is a great evil that perpetrates false conspiracy theories with the intent to divide us.
