Love BTB!
This is one of my very favorite podcasts! So relatable and just a sweet spark of joy for my week! I look forward to Wednesday’s every week!

Feels like sitting with real friends
I just started listening to this podcast on my runs and I LOVE it! Rachel sounds so sweet and kind and real - like she makes you want to be her BFF haha! It’s quickly becoming my favorite podcast because it’s so encouraging and timely.

Loving Behind the Bliss!
I recently discovered Behind the Bliss via Val Marie Paper. I haven’t routinely listened to Christian podcasts, but I absolutely felt God led me to this podcast and I’ve loved listening!

Just When I Needed It
I discovered this Podcast a little over a year ago. I was overwhelmed with work & traveling frequently. Rachel & her guests were, and still are, my company on long drives. I am forever grateful for the capital T Truth bombs these episodes are packed with. Also, love the intentionality of “CU in the next episode”; Go Tigers!

Encouraging and honest!
Thank you for the hope-filled content you’re putting out there. So encouraging to hear raw and vulnerable stories that inspire people in the mess and challenges of life. I particularly appreciated your recent episode on human trafficking. Thank you for helping to raise awareness in this difficult space and for discussing the heavy topic- one that can’t be ignored.

This podcast truly meets you where you’re at
Rachel Awtry and every speaker on the Behind the Bliss podcast has the wonderful ability to share their stories in such a way that it feels like they’re talking about you! Every week I look forward to listening to a podcast episode that truly “meets me where I’m at” and provides Godly principles to help me through my mess!

Refreshing and Truth-Filled
I love this podcast because it always refreshes and encourages me! It is filled with light-hearted fun and deep spiritual truths. A must-listen!

Joy delivered to my ears!
There is nothing better than feeling known, heard, seen, or having that oh my gosh me too moment! That’s exactly what behind the bliss does! As their tag line suggests they meet you in your mess of everyday struggles and help you feel surrounded and encouraged! There is truly no one more eloquent and simultaneously FUN as Rachel Awtrey and I’m so excited I was introduced to this podcast years ago! There really is a reason behind the bliss! 🤍🤍🤍

AMAZING!
I love this podcast!

Literally So Comforting
Sometimes we all just need a good chat and encouragement with a Jesus-loving friend...And that is exactly what this podcast feels like. If you are feeling lonely, lacking Christian community (#covid19), or just want to be pushed farther in your walk with the Lord, check this out!

Favorite Podcast
Rachel’s episodes are like a chat with your best friend. She listens. She empathizes. She understands, and she is loyal. She makes me want to be a better human and a better child of God. This podcast is a breath of fresh air in this gloomy season of 2020. Thank you for being honest and open Rachel.

A Must Listen! ✨
This is such a great podcast that covers a variety of topics, with so many great guests, & such relevant information. I love how these are more “conversational” and really allow people a window into the hearts of each guest speaker. Highly recommend!!

The Most Uplifting!
I’ve been listening to this podcast from the beginning! I always look forward to hearing new episodes every week. Rachel is such a positive light and always shares so much wisdom! Every episode is so relatable and I always walk away learning something new!

Refreshing
I love that each guest brings something completely unique to the show and it has helped me hear truth from so many different perspectives. A great listen!!

Must listen
This podcast is a must listen. I found Rachel on Instagram and soon discovered this life-changing podcast. As a college student who’s looking on guidance as I am figuring out the world and trying to build a Christ-centered life, Rachel and her guests feel like big sisters to me, sharing their wisdom and insights. There are so many gems in each podcast - I can’t listen to it while I’m multitasking because I’ve learned I love to sit and journal with it to be able to catch everything ♥️

the best stories & awesome encouragement
Every time I go on a plane or a long drive, I make sure to download several episodes of BTB. The conversations cover so many interesting topics and always leave me feeling understood and encouraged!

So uplifting!
Love tuning into this podcast every week! Thought provoking and challenging. It’s a great way to set your mind on things above.

Love it!!
This is such a great podcast to listen to whether you’re studying or on a road trip. Love listening to what God has placed on Rachel’s heart and hearing from the many guests she has on the podcast as well!

Forever a favorite podcast!!
I started listening to Behind the Bliss when I joined Orange Theory Fitness and have a bit of a drive several days a week. I LOVE Rachel and feel like she talks to all of her listeners like we’re sitting across from her having coffee! I have gained so many golden nuggets about faith, marriage and just life! The way Rachel lives out her faith while also being so raw and honest is inspiring. I’ve suggested this podcast to so many friends - so if you’ve been needing a favorite new podcast, look no further! 🙌🏻

My favorite podcast... by far
I’ve been listening to Behind the Bliss since it started and I love the message of each episode. I listen to feel uplifted and seen. Thank you for what you do, Rachel!

A Must Listen!
Always walk away feeling enlightened, inspired, and just a little more joyful. Highly recommend!

met completely in my mess
I’ve been a listener since September 2018 – a wedding photographer I follow was a guest (s/o Jessi Nichols!!) Since listening to her episode I jumped in binging the first 18 episodes. I’ve been a fan ever since. Rachel sheds light on some hard to talk about topics, she steps in and fills the gap. If you’re questioning whether this podcast is for you, hit the subscribe button! Share it with a friend, neighbor or co-worker that needs some uplifting or words of encouragement!

Faith Filled & Relatable!
I listened to this podcast for the first time tonight and wow, I was missing out! Rachel is so genuine and easy to relate to! She uses aspects of her life and marriage to speak about faith without seeming exclusive or pushy. I love her advice and stories, you should definitely give this podcast a try!

Comforting and delightful
New at following and encourage all to do the same! Wished I had found sooner 💗

Comfort and Inspiration
I only recently discovered Behind the Bliss and I sooo wish I would’ve known about it sooner! This podcast has truly been a comfort and inspiration. I don’t know how Rachel does it but it really feels like she’s talking to me personally in every episode. Definitely my new favorite podcast!

Relate! Relate! Relate!
Getting engaged and moving to Birmingham was exciting but also one of the hardest seasons of my life. Leaving my job, friends and church behind along with my identity was HARD. Listening to this podcast with guest speaker Whitney McIntosh hit home. I was not the only one feeling as if I God was “sitting me out out on the bench” for a season. That’s when I knew this podcast was for me- If you are craving quality girl time to talk about life and Jesus- this is the podcast! Rachel is the friend you never knew you needed! Such a good listen.

You are met in your mess!!
To the podcast lover searching for a genuine podcast that is so filling for your soul. Rachel brings it EVERY WEEK 👏🏻 SO MUCH TRUTH. SO MUCH ENCOURAGEMENT. I have listened since day one and Rachel truly works so hard to genuinely find guests every week to encourage us and share truth with us. It’s so refreshing to have a “real talk” podcast. Give it a listen 💛

Ultimate Girl Time
If you are looking for something that can help you when you are feeling low or need a little encouragement, this is the show for you! There are fun and lighthearted topics. There are also really serious and intellectually challenging topics that they cover too! It’s a great way to spend an hour of your day!

Go-to podcast!
Love this podcast! Rachel is so real and knows how to talk about the hard stuff as well as have fun!

Thank you, BTB!
I love this podcast. I highly recommend it for anyone that needs encouragement. I turned to BTB when I was struggling and listening to the words of Rachel and the guests speak about the Lord and their journey has been amazing and impactful on my journey with the Lord. Thank you for brightening my day! 💛💛💛
