What if the reason branding feels uncomfortable… is because you were taught the wrong definition?

Recorded live at the Rally Retreat in 30A, this conversation between Rachel and special guest Sarah (brand strategist and messaging expert) peels back the curtain on one of the biggest struggles Christian entrepreneurs face: “I don’t want to make it about me.”

If you’ve ever felt weird showing up online, struggled to talk about your work, or worried that confidence equals ego, this conversation will gently (and boldly) challenge that belief.

You’ll hear:

  • Why branding isn’t about appearances but about reflecting what’s already inside
  • The shift from “marketing feels manipulative” to “storytelling feels faithful”
  • How confidence and conviction are not the same as ego
  • Why hiding your story can actually be rooted in pride, not humility
  • The biblical foundation of storytelling and why it matters for your business
  • How your everyday life (yes, even yogurt and chocolate chips) can reflect God’s joy
  • Why people don’t buy products...they buy stories they trust
  • The real danger of waiting until your brand feels “perfect”
  • What working with high-profile individuals reveals about loneliness, humanity, and connection
  • How community and storytelling combat isolation at every level
