In this enlightening episode of The Messenger Movement Podcast, host Tamra Andress interviews Rachel Rector, author of the impactful book Behind Hidden Doors: Bullying, Hope, and Identity. Rachel shares her personal journey as a parent and teacher navigating the complexities of bullying, which inspired her to write this essential resource for caregivers, educators, and counselors.

Beijing shares her incredible journey from a lukewarm Christian life to a powerful commitment to God's calling.

She discusses her pivotal role in leading historic Jesus marches across the Bahamas, resulting in countless lives changed and souls saved. This episode emphasizes the importance of Christian community, gratitude, and the continuous process of allowing God to prune and refine our lives.

Beijing Rodgers, affectionately known as, “The World Changer,” is a barefooted island girl driven to change the world for Jesus. She is born and raised from the small but mighty island nation of The commonwealth of The Bahamas. My life’s work and legacy are focused on creating thriving spaces for youth activism, leadership, empowerment, and development.
