The Best of Strong Women: Bringing Christ’s Love and Light to Women in Strip Clubs With Rachelle Starr

Listen to this episode on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

We’re taking a small break this summer to gear up for season six of the Strong Women podcast. During this break, we’ll be re-airing episodes we think you’ll enjoy!

Rachelle Starr is the founder of Scarlet Hope. At 21, Rachelle felt God calling her to minister to women trapped working in strip clubs in her city of Louisville, KY. Today, she shares some of the stories she’s witnessed over 16 years of building relationships through food and introducing women to the God who sees and loves them. Scarlet Hope is now in many major cities around the nation, working to bring the hope of the Gospel to places that are often overlooked.
