The Unclothed is a little spot on the internet
for the awake, not woke, folk.
Rachel, the creator, is a media personality who has amassed 630K+ followers. Her viral series “What, Is That Racist?” (55 million views) calls for consistency in condemning racism. Her content mixes sharp humor with God + faith, medical freedom & perspectives that challenge the mainstream. This is the hub behind it all.
The Unclothed Ministry is a faith-based community gift-giving program built on a simple belief: we are supposed to take care of the people right in front of us.
When someone can’t keep the lights on, pay their water bill, make their car payment, afford their child’s next opportunity, or simply get back on their feet… that’s when I/we step in.
Giving is a choice between you and God. There is no minimum, no pressure, and no expectation. If you choose to tithe or give, you decide what that looks like for you.
Give what you can. When you can.
Whether you call it a tithe, an offering, or simply giving, it all goes into the same bucket. You aren’t choosing a person or specific need. You’re trusting us to look at the needs in front of us and use the money where it can help.
This is not first come, first served. A water shutoff tomorrow is different from a bill due in two weeks. Someone facing eviction is different from someone trying to get back on their feet.
The deadline matters.
The urgency matters.
The bucket exists to to meet the needs that matter most in the moment. Maybe that’s keeping the lights on, paying a water bill, giving a child an opportunity, covering an attorney fee, or simply helping someone get back on their feet after tragedy.
We give where we believe the need is greatest.

Several years ago, someone commented on one of my videos and told me they loved my ministry. This caught me completely off guard, because no one has ever put me in the category of “ministry.” I don’t fit the mold when it comes to modern Christianity or organized religion.
I am a follower of Jesus, and to me, there is a difference.
But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that maybe this has been ministry all along.
Maybe not in the traditional sense, but ministry built on generosity, compassion, empathy, and humility. The belief that WE, THE PEOPLE, are the village, not the government.
I believe the Church was meant to be a place where we take care of each other, especially the people right in front of us within our own communities: the struggling single mom, the family behind on bills, the parent trying to keep the lights on, the woman leaving an abusive relationship, the person one emergency away from losing everything (including their dignity).
My goal is simple: meet real needs in real time.
I believe in tithing. I believe in giving & generosity. But I also believe somewhere along the way we lost the heart behind it.
The early Church didn’t tithe so pastors could live like celebrities while the people funding the church silently struggled to survive.
We have churches with stage lights, smoke machines, luxury vehicles, and million-dollar buildings. Meanwhile, the people in the pews are struggling to pay their water bill. And don’t get me started on the tens of thousands these churches are sending to other countries while kids in their very own pews have parents who can’t afford their electric bill on a double-income.
If someone in the Body of Christ is choosing between groceries and gas while church leadership lives in excess, something is tragically broken. I am not against churches. I am against disconnect. I’m against performative religion that looks holy on stage but ignores suffering six rows back. This ministry is about giving back to real people. Real needs. Real impact.
This is not about exploitation, humiliation, or making people perform their pain for help. I’m not interested in turning struggling families into content. There may be times basic proof is needed simply to protect the integrity of the ministry, but the heart behind this is trust, compassion, and dignity.
I believe people should be able to ask for help without being publicly torn apart. And I also believe people should remember that what you sow, you reap. If someone chooses to take advantage of generosity meant for people and families in need, that is between them and God. I believe we are called to bear one another’s burdens, step in when someone is drowning, and use what we have to help people survive, heal, and move forward.
As I’ve said for years, the only religion to which I subscribe is James 1:27.
If you’d like to join me in this movement, my hand is outstretched. Come join me.

IN LOVING MEMORY OF BRENDA FRECKA
This ministry was inspired by a woman who became a very important part of my life, especially during the hardest season I’ve ever walked through.
After my daughter died, Brenda and I shared a private conversation that has stayed with me ever since. She told me about the life she and her husband had built together. They started with very little, worked incredibly hard & took chances, and eventually built significant wealth.
But Brenda never seemed impressed by what she had. What impressed her was people.
Brenda had this light about her that is difficult to put into words. She had this extraordinary ability to make people feel like they mattered. Her family was her greatest pride and joy, but her definition of family seemed to stretch far beyond blood. If Brenda loved you, you were hers.
My oldest and dearest friend, Ashley, has been in my life since first-grade, and through her, Brenda became part of mine too. Over the years, she became someone I loved deeply, someone whose presence left a mark on me that I didn’t fully realize until she was gone.
I remember playing a game with friends once, and the question was, “if you could switch places with anyone for a day, who would it be?”
I didn’t hesitate.
“Brenda Frecka.”
Not because the life she had. Not because she was a smoke-show. Not because of what she could afford. Not because of the things she had accumulated.
Because of who she was.
She gave so freely. Her time. Her resources. Her home. Her heart. She helped people without making them feel like they owed her something for being helped. She made room for people who needed somewhere to land. And somehow, there always seemed to be room for one more.
I don’t know if Brenda ever understood just how far her kindness reached. I don’t think any one person could. There was a whole web of people whose lives were touched by hers, and I was/am incredibly fortunate to be one of them. (Thank you, God).
She showed me something that I want this ministry to carry forward:
We all have something to give.
For some, it’s money. For some, it’s time. For some, it’s a talent. For some, it’s simply showing up. For me, it’s my platform.
We just have to remember that even when we think we have nothing to give, we do.
“A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.” (Proverbs 11:25)
…and that is the spirit I want this ministry to carry.
