Encouragement Café on Oneplace.com: Recent Episodes
Luann Prater & Rachel Olsen
In May 2009, God opened the door to connect our heart to yours through the airwaves of radio. We asked the question: Where do women gather and share life? In the neighborhood coffee shop! We have tried to create a loving, friendly atmosphere for you. We’re so glad you stopped by. Pull up a chair, we’ve been waiting just for you.
At the new year we're often introspective about our life and focused on our goals - which is great! But pause for a few minutes with Luann and Rachel as we turn our gaze outward and ask, who might we help this year?

Holidays are a time of traditions, and that can be so comforting. Sometimes we need to change it up - mix in some new activities with the cherished rituals. You just might find a new tradition you love. Join Luann and Rachel at the Encouragement Cafe as we "Try Something New."
