Rachel Purcell, a former country music artist, discusses her transition to Christian music and her journey of faith. Originally from Muscle Shoals, Alabama—a town known for its rich music history—Rachel grew up immersed in a variety of musical genres. After being discovered by a country music label rep in high school, she pursued a successful country career, performing at venues like the Grand Ole Opry. However, during the challenges of 2020, she found herself questioning her path and ultimately felt led by God to transition into Christian music.
She shares the story behind her latest single, “Show Up,” which was inspired by the idea of relying on God’s presence and faithfulness in daily life. Rachel also speaks about her upcoming EP set to release in late summer, with a special Muscle Shoals version of “Show Up” coming out soon. She expresses a passion for uplifting listeners—especially women—through joyful and encouraging music.
As a final encouragement, Rachel advises those seeking God’s direction to lean into prayer and scripture, trusting in His plan.
