Ep. 022 - On Connecting To God Through The Kitchen With Cariann Cheney

In today’s episode of She Rises, Rachel sits down with Carrian Cheney- a woman whose work may center around food, but whose calling clearly centers around people, presence, and sacred connection.

Raised in a place where faith wasn’t the norm, she shares how God began preparing her while she was young to stand as a beacon to others. She was also blessed with an unexpected creative gift which was a gift during a hard season of unemployment—to provide for her family in ways she never could have planned. Together, they explore how the kitchen can become holy ground, why gathering matters more than ever, and how choosing presence over distraction can lead to peace, healing, and revelation.

This conversation is an invitation to slow down, return to what matters, and rediscover the sacred in the ordinary.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Growing faith in places where belief feels uncommon

• God’s provision through unexpected gifts and callings

• Why food, memory, and gathering are deeply spiritual

• The kitchen as a refuge for families and communities

• Discernment in a distracted, overscheduled world
