Rachel Barrentine

You're going to laugh. You're going to cry. And you'll definitely be challenged and moved spiritually. My heart is to ignite fresh faith in my listeners.

I offer a variety of keynotes and retreat topics, as well as 1-hour concert & testimony nights.

If you'd like to host a Jesus and Java Party, I have recipe and decoration ideas I can offer in addition to speaking and music. Are you trying to attract the next generation of ladies to your church or event? Do you want to be respectful and inclusive of the "more experienced" women in your church? I can provide an event that will reach both ends of the generational spectrum. Host a Girls Night Out, a ladies brunch, or a PJ Party. The possibilities are endless.

A few things I promise:
1. We will have fun.
2. We will be refreshed.
3. We will laugh.
4. God will ignite fresh faith.
5. You, and your group will be thoroughly prayed for.

If you are within driving distance, I will bring a powerful, but compact Bose sound system for up to 400 folks. In addition to speaking, I play guitar, piano, and use live-looping to provide a unique, engaging musical experience that accentuates the message points.

Please give me a call or send me an email, and let's talk about how to make your next event even more life-changing and awesome!

My name is Rachel Barrentine. I'm a jeans and T-shirt kinda girl, and I love igniting fresh faith through music, speaking, writing, and humor. My messages are saturated with Scripture, and packed with powerful tools to boost your faith and courage.

I specialize in Women's Ministry, but have a passion to reach anybody, anywhere, anytime with the hope of Jesus.

My journey through 20 years of persistent pain and illness has shaped my faith, messages, and music. Through this long detour, I have learned a great deal about identity, surrender, trust, obedience, and healing. I love to help people fall into deeper trust with the Lord.

Folks have said I have a comedic style like Chonda Pierce, and the spiritual depth of Beth Moore. My messages are always woven with compelling, original music to drive home points and help connect the mind to the heart. The music element to my messages offers a unique opportunity for audiences to engage on a deeper level.

I am a full-time traveling speaker and musician for retreats, conferences, churches, school chapels, break-out seminars, and other special events. I have shared all over the United States as well as internationally in France, Poland, New Zealand, Israel, and the Fiji Islands.

I live in Nashville, TN with my husband Derek, and our beloved old dog, Joey Smiley Wiggle Socks.
