Rachel Faulkner Brown
Rachel Faulkner Brown tragically lost two husbands before she was thirty-one years old. Out of Rachel’s healing, she founded Never Alone Widows, a Christian widows’ ministry. Rachel also cowrote Father’s House, an eight-week, video-driven Bible study that has helped thousands of women find freedom from their past and grace for their future. As a United States Air Force Gold Star widow, Rachel has shared her story nationally hundreds of times through Folds of Honor, a nonprofit organization providing educational scholarships to the families of fallen and disabled service members and first responders.
