Welcome to Friendship With Jesus!

Sounds complicated. Sounds ridiculous. Sounds like a buzz-kill for sure.

I know about the buzz. For seventeen years I used drugs and alcohol to escape the pain in my soul. It seemed to work for awhile. But then it got complicated, it got ridiculous, and nothing will kill your buzz faster than trying to live a double life. Out in the open- a wife, mother, friend, employee, daughter. In the shadows- an alcoholic and addict. No one could have hated herself more than I did.

God? Didn't know Him, told others I didn't care to know Him, and figured He wouldn't care to know me either. So I struggled with the guilt and pain alone, all the while silently shouting my grief to the universe. I secretly hoped someone out there was listening.

Who could have known that God would hear my cries for help? Even more unbelievable, who would have thought He longed to show me mercy and healing?

My name is Rachel Ophoff. I'm a writer and speaker based in western Colorado, and I'm passionate about sharing how Jesus loves us, how God has a plan for our lives, and how the Bible contains all the power and information we need to live in victory over all challenges common to humanity.

Much like myself, the goal of this site is to build a bridge between two worlds- the secular and the sacred, the seen and the unseen. My social page has links to mainstream Christianity, while my Book Reviews page supplies links to resources, for both those who seek and those who believe.

I'm glad you have stopped by. Stick around. Come back an visit. Let's face it- this world hurts our hearts. Hopefully you will find honesty, hope, resources, and an ever-changing community of questioning people who hang on to Jesus, the only One with all the answers.
