Founder, Lead Minister, President

Our AHM Founder is a Singer/Songwriter/Speaker/Author in Nashville, TN. Her experience at Bible college and her time as a worship and youth pastor have given her a great foundation for equipping people in their faith. She loves to spark "aha" moments with God, and she does it with a great sense of humor.

Rachel battled Lyme Disease for over 20 years, and through these difficult decades, discovered how to walk with God and hear His voice through exhaustion, pain, and question marks. Over the years, she experienced God's daily grace, and learned how to press in for healing and breakthrough. She believes God is still in the business of miracles, and He delights to do them.

Rachel has won numerous awards for songwriting, produced several full-length albums, and has authored four books. She believes AHTV will be her legacy ministry.  Rachel lives with her brainy, guitar-making husband, Derek, and their really old rescue pup, Joey Smiley Wiggle Socks.
