Struggling to find peace in the madness of life? This is the podcast for you.

Welcome to the Your Day Brighter® Podcast. Each week, host Tracey Tiernan shares real stories from real people who are making a real positive impact in their communities, giving us real hope in this world. You will walk away not only feeling encouraged but with practical ways to live a positive, hopeful, joy-filled life.

Tracey Tiernan is a veteran morning radio personality at BRIGHT-FM in Baltimore, Maryland. She served as the Creative Arts Program Director at her local church for nearly 20 years. She is a true enneagram 4, proud red-head, artist, worship leader, songwriter, coffee snob, wife to Gary, and stepmom to her six bonus kids. Her superpower? Empathy. She is convinced of five things:

  1. Everyone needs hope and encouragement.
  2. Everyone has something good to contribute to the world.
  3. We can learn from absolutely anyone.
  4. Life is better when we do it with God
  5. Diversity is a privilege that's given to us to share the journey of life with people that are different than we are.

Thank you for taking the time to listen to Your Day Brighter®. We're glad you're here.

Love covers. When God gave us his Son Jesus, who gave his life to pay for our sins, He covered us. It’s the opposite of exposing and shaming. Sadly, it seems to be the opposite of what people often do. And yet this is what God has called us to do for others, in small ways and big ones.  

Join me for a special conversation with my wonderful husband Pastor Gary Coiro as we talk about the difference between cancel culture and cover culture.  

“Above all, love each other deeply because love covers a multitude of sins.” - 1 Peter 4:8

Passion City Church has birthed some special artists and music that have been a light to my path. I’m so grateful for them. One of my favorites is Kristian Stanfill. He’s a gifted worship leader, singer/song-writer and he‘s been a part of my regular playlist for years now. But Kristian has been in a personal battle, that until November of last year, was a private one.  

How do you heal from a personal addiction to alcohol, when you’re a public worship leader? Kristian joins me for an encouraging, honest conversation about real life and a real God who helps us in our darkness. He has been sober for 2 ½ years now, but he has learned some important things along the way about healing and the love of God.  

I am so honored to share this important conversation with you and I hope, as I know Kristian does as well, that it helps others who are struggling too. You can make it out alive...  and if you trust the process, God will bring healing and joy back into your life.

When Sandy Hartranft’s youngest son Ben was 3 years old, she walked into the dining room and could hardly believe what she saw. Ben had climbed up on the table and was literally swinging from the chandelier!  With incredible humor, faith, and wisdom, Sandy shares her story of discovering her son had autism. How this amazing family has navigated the force of energy that is Ben, is inspiring. Ben is now a young man with hopes and dreams and an irresistible joy, and he’s even become a public speaker/advocate for people with autism.  But the journey began with a mom who had to let go of what her idea of her family might be and learn to trust God with something even better.  

In this warm and wonderful conversation, Sandy shares her story and her advice to other families on this journey too. I love this family so much and I know you will too.  

You can find joy in the journey of autism. You just might need some help from someone who’s been there.

Christy Nockels is one of my favorite singers ever. Period. I fell in love with her voice from her days with Watermark, the popular duo with her husband Nathan. It was in the late 90's/early 2000’s and I was just beginning to really get into Christian music. Christy had this elegant and humble way of inviting me into a sacred space. She never over-sang. She just seemed to know what to do with every song she sang. To connect you to God seemed to be her agenda and for me, it just clicked. That gentle, honest, gorgeous voice has been singing over my life for decades.  

Christy has recorded many solo albums, been a founding member of Passion City Church, and sang with so many artists- you know her voice. You just might know her name. How did she do that?  

I am convinced it’s that unique ability she has to lead people in worship and almost disappear from the spotlight herself. There aren’t many like her...  

Her latest project, “This is the Hour”, is the most beautiful worship album I’ve heard in a long time and is one of my all-time favorite albums. For real.  

I can’t believe I get the honor of talking to Christy... and I get to share this conversation with you!  I will try not to fan-girl too much because clearly, Christy is not about that.

How can I be a bridge-builder if I don’t live near people who look different from me?  

What is God calling ME to do to help bring unity and healing to our world?  

20 years ago, Dr. David Anderson introduced the world to the concept of “Gracism-the Art of Inclusion.” Because how we talk about race has changed since 2007, the revised and expanded “Gracism”, has just been released. A mentee of Dr. Anderson, my friend David Heiliger has been learning and joining in this important work around the world.  

Join me and my special guest David Heiliger, Pastor of Multi-Cultural Bridge Building at Bridgeway Community Church for an honest conversation about the racial divide in our world and Jesus’s heart to heal it. We all have a part to play.

Jason Gray's lyrics for a song he wrote for his kids may make you flinch at first - but he knows the treasures God can bring through our failures.  From the complex relationship with his own father to his painful divorce, Jason has found forgiveness and faith coming alive again and the healing that comes when we tend to our wounds.  

Join me for an honest conversation with one of my favorite songwriters. Jason has been through a hard season and God is just showing him more of what love and grace really are.

If you saw the movie "Jesus Revolution" chronicling the life stories of Greg Laurie and Chuck Smith, you'll be fascinated to hear how Kathy Gilbert's story intersects.    

Growing up in a conservative Catholic family in Maryland in the late 60's, Kathy was searching for answers to life's deepest questions. She thought the hippies had the answers and she left home to join a commune. Traveling across the country as a teenager, Kathy hitchhiked, experimented with drugs, and stayed at different communes trying to find what her heart was longing for. After a few close calls with danger, Kathy landed at a place called Shiloh in Oregon. It was there the Jesus revolution met her face-to-face and changed her life.

I host the morning show on BRIGHT-FM and I get to play so much great music.  But this song “Build a Boat” by Colton Dixon, is the one I get the most emails and texts about. It has struck a deep chord with our listeners and with me personally.  

The wonderfully gracious and humble Colton Dixon joins me on the podcast this week! We talk about life, being a dad to twin girls, and his music career that God directed in a new way, after a heartbreaking season of disappointment.  

There are those times in our lives when we need the faith and radical obedience of Noah, the kind of crazy faith that makes us build boats when it never rains. Maybe you’re in one too? Join me for this encouraging conversation with Colton Dixon.

Meet my friend Eric Buarque. Eric never thought about acting as something he’d want to do until people started mistaking him for a very famous actor. And he wondered, is there something to this connection? Could I leverage how I look to break into the movie business?  

Thirteen films and twenty commercials later, Eric had a long, wonderful run in the industry with the most unique role: Bruce Willis’s body double.  

He shares his fascinating story of what he calls God’s favor... For years, Eric traveled around the world and experienced the thrill of being in big-budget films, acting, and occasionally doing stunts, all as Bruce Willis’s body double.  

With Bruce’s illness recently announced, Eric has nothing but sincere gratitude and prayers for Bruce and his family as they navigate this difficult journey.  

Join me for this fascinating conversation with a man who might look a lot like Bruce Willis on the outside, but on the inside, I think Eric looks like Jesus.

Ever had a panic attack? Jeremy Camp knows what it’s like. His new song “Anxious Heart” starts like this:  

Locked up and I'm so in my head

Heart starts racing and I can't slow it down

Hands shaking and l'm losing my breath

Paralyzed with a mind spinning out

My strength has grown weak

No words left to speak

I fell to my knees

Cause I know what I need.

It happened on a trip to Israel when Jeremy felt those feelings. He felt like he was dying. What was going on? He had a lot of questions and thankfully, he knew where to take them. The Lord showed Jeremy how he had been hiding fears on the inside that were manifesting in this anxiousness of heart.  

Having dealt with anxiety in my own life, those lyrics hit so close to home. Can you relate? Join me for an unforgettable conversation with singer/songwriter Jeremy Camp who shares how the Lord showed up for him...not with judgment, frustration, or disappointment, but in love.

He’s been at this songwriting thing for years now, achieving success in 2005 by co-writing the hit “Shine On” for Ryan Cabrera, and collaborating/ writing for Cory Asbury, The Wait and Ben Rector, The Judds, and others.

But God...  

Andrew gave his life to Jesus and his story is just getting started. Celebrating 15 years of sobriety, Andrew has found a new kind of freedom, success, and sweetness in life in this season.

As a teenager, Evan Craft took seriously Jesus's call to love our neighbors but he realized he couldn’t love them well if he couldn't talk to them. So many of his neighbors spoke Spanish and while this wasn't his culture or language, he determined to break that barrier and build a bridge instead. Evan studied Spanish and landed in Latin America at 21 years old and said, "Here I am Lord. Use me."

Evan weaves English and Spanish together in his music and builds bridges of connection between cultures. To worship God in a language that connects to our hearts is what we all long for, and when we can worship together, with our different cultures and languages it's a glimpse of heaven.

Mitch Albom writes stories that invite us to bring our deepest questions about life to the surface. In his classic from 1997, “Tuesdays with Morrie”, we joined Mitch on his visits to his old college professor, Morrie Schwartz, who shared treasures of wisdom as he was dying from ALS. Since then, Mitch has written so many others that weave our questions, fears, and longings together into a picture of what it is to be human, including his latest work; “The Stranger in the Lifeboat”.

Mitch believes in the healing power of sharing our stories and so do I. Join me for a warm conversation with this special man who out of the overflow of his authentic questions and searching heart, has given us a treasury of stories that help us face our beliefs.

Here’s a statistic that blew my mind: Over 49 million people in the U.S. have been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. And we know that so many more suffer from anxiety but have never been officially diagnosed. I am one of those. How about you? Ever had feelings of worry, fear, or dread that you can’t necessarily attach to specific circumstances?

Join me for a practical, helpful conversation with Dr. Amanda Porter who wrote this little devotional book that packs a punch, “Dear Anxiety Let’s Break Up!” She is a mental health practitioner, a lover of Jesus, and a fellow struggler in this battle with anxiety, and what she has to say could help give you the tools you need to break up with anxiety.

Clutter. It means to fill or cover with scattered or disordered things that impede movement or reduce effectiveness. Physical clutter gets in the way of your living space, your workspace, your car space, your purse space. Clutter makes it hard to find the stuff you actually need.

Soul clutter is when this scattered, disordered state is internal. It’s the things that are blocking, restricting, impeding our peace, taking up space in our mind, will, and emotions, that inner-most part of us. Soul clutter can result in us settling for less than what God has for us, substituting quick fixes for deep work, and accumulating unresolved piles of pain from our past, while guilt, shame, and bitterness take up the space the Holy Spirit wants to fill.

Got soul clutter? In this episode, I want to help you identify and purge that soul clutter and get some peace and order on the inside of you, where it really counts.

03:49 What is Soul Clutter?

08:57 What brings us clarity?

12:38 #1 - Mistaken Enemies

Has God ever spoken to you through a dream? We know He has done that many times in Scripture. I guess I was skeptical... until He communicated through a very vivid dream to me. It was a few years ago and it is still transforming my life.

I’m going to unpack a passage of Scripture, John 5:1-15, and talk about a personal battle God revealed to me in this dream. It was a battle I didn’t even realize I was fighting.

Racism has divided our country and our world for generations. My heart has been broken over it. Maybe you’ve experienced it yourself, or you’ve ached as you saw the divide get bigger.

Is “Gracism” the answer to racism?

My pastor and friend, Dr. David Anderson, planted Bridgeway Community Church 30 years ago, a multi-cultural church, where people of 52 nations worship and do life, together! He is one of the leading voices in the world on the topic of racism and reconciliation and he has created a word, that is more of a solution than I’ve heard anywhere: Gracism.

I am so excited to share this conversation with you as he shares his personal story of growing up in Prince George's County, Maryland, a burning cross on his front lawn, and a mother who put honoring Jesus above revenge or bitterness.
