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:
- Everyone needs hope and encouragement.
- Everyone has something good to contribute to the world.
- We can learn from absolutely anyone.
- Life is better when we do it with God
- 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.
Stacey Loveless has a passion to help people and she’s convinced of the healing power of God’s love to restore lives. She knows because she’s been there.
On this special episode of the podcast, I am honored to introduce you to my friend Stacey Loveless who is the Director of Love Wins House, a place for women struggling with addiction to find community, hope, and healing. Stacey is on the front lines of this battle that is raging in our country and she shares her wisdom with us.
If someone you love is battling addiction or in recovery, or, you’re burdened for all who are fighting this battle, this conversation will give you insight and real hope on how we can help.
Pat Linnell is a man on a mission... Equipping people to do intentional acts of kindness that implicate Jesus as the source. He’s been at this for a few years and Grace Bomb-the Movement is spreading worldwide.
If you’ve ever wondered how to share your faith in Christ in a tangible way, or you feel slightly intimidated by talking to your neighbors, Grace Bomb is designed to help you build those connections in a way that’s fun and fruitful.
I LOVE this concept, I love Pat and his passion for Jesus! He is full of stories that he shares with us in this fun and inspiring conversation about how God is working through people just like us... who are willing to be intentional about the source of their kindness.
The one and only Lauren Daigle joins me on the podcast! Lauren is such a lover of people. Even the title song of her latest record, Kaleidoscope Jesus, is about how beautifully God has made people, with different colors and cultures and she loves to see how God reveals Himself through all of his creation.
The question Lauren loves to pray every day is... Jesus, would you show me something special in someone today? Would you help me to see people through your eyes?
Join me for this delightful conversation with the free-spirited, kind, and authentic, Lauren Daigle. Oh, how I love her!
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.
Does a white man have a voice in the conversation around racial reconciliation?
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.
...And I hope that failure comes your way
And shows you there's a limit to your own strength. Til you can't help but offer other people grace, Yeah, I hope that failure comes
That's what I wish for you
What I hope you find
May it all come true
Knowing sometimes good things come from suffering
Yeah, sometimes good things can come from suffering..."
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 can't wait for you to meet this amazing woman! Kathy Gilbert has quite a story to tell of this tumultuous time in our country but also an amazing move of the Holy Spirit to draw young people to Christ.
Helen Smallbone is the mother of 7 kids, some of who have become quite famous. Rebecca St. James, her oldest, and Luke and Joel of For King and Country have experienced and are experiencing success in the spotlight.
But Helen Smallbone is a mom who has more fear of success than failure. Join me for a conversation with a very wise woman who has navigated an unconventional life of faith with her extraordinary family. From times when the family didn’t know how they’d have a roof over their head, food on the table, or how they’d get around, Helen has many lessons to share about trusting God to be our Provider.
I was absolutely riveted by her memoir, “Behind the Lights” but forever impacted by her faith. I can’t wait for you to meet her!
Tasha Layton is passionate about using her voice to give others hope. She knows what it’s like to struggle with depression and she has a heart for those who have experienced trauma and brokenness.
In this special episode of Your Day Brighter, Tasha shares some of her spiritual practices that keep her mind and spirit healthy, and she tells an incredible story of following the nudge of the Holy Spirit and the life that was forever changed because of it.
I love her music but I love her heart even more.
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.
He’s been there too.
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.
Meet Nicole Sherry. She’s only 1 of 2 women in the entire history of major league baseball who has had the title and responsibility of being the Head Groundskeeper. Nicole didn’t set out to be a trailblazer but that’s what she is. With the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards for 20 years, Nicole knows every inch of that beautiful field and she knows what it takes to keep it thriving.
I’m a lifelong Orioles fan and now I have a newfound respect for the knowledge of science and detailed work involved in keeping the most beautiful ballpark in the country healthy.
Yep. I said it. Camden Yards is the best. And Nicole is the keeper of the Yard.
Join me for a fascinating conversation with an amazing woman who found her special calling right where her passion for baseball and agriculture came together. God is in the details.
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.
Andrew Ripp is not an overnight sensation. 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 success came at a cost. A personal battle with addiction cost Andrew almost everything that mattered to him.
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. His songs like “Fill My Cup” and “Jericho” have become anthems for those of us who have fallen in love with Jesus and are amazed by how He changes everything.
I am so excited for you to meet Andrew Ripp! He’s my guest on the podcast and he has an amazing story of God’s intervention in his life.
She had a greatest hits album at 21 years old! Rachael Lampa is 38 years old now and after taking a break from a flourishing career years ago, she’s making music again that speaks to our souls.
“Perfectly Loved” came from things she shared in her life group about what God was teaching her through her work at a prison ministry. I can’t wait for you to hear this warm and inspiring conversation with my new friend, Rachael Lampa.
We talk about life, music, being a mom, and how God often directs us to do things that other people do not understand or approve of. Rachael is a woman who is tuned in to that still small voice of Jesus and a bright light in this world.
Princess adores her husband of 31 years, Phillip. And she has gone from fighting with him to fighting for him. I love this lady and her authenticity.
Join me for a refreshingly candid conversation about marriage and how to see yours from God’s point of view. Princess is a marriage coach and mentor and she’s on a mission to save marriages. She shares her personal journey of discovering it wasn’t all his fault after all.
With the wisdom that comes from making mistakes, Princess’s new book, “Embracing My Calling: Viewing my Marriage through an Eternal Perspective,” is a must-read for anyone who wants their marriage to be aligned with God’s purposes. This is such good, challenging stuff and comes with a warning: This may change your life.
If you’re married or even thinking about marriage, there is treasure here. Have a listen and share with someone who needs some encouragement.
Esther Brant has been a dedicated nurse for over 30 years and she just glows from the inside! A woman of tremendous faith and joy, with a giggle that bubbles up so easily and often, you’d never guess how much loss she’s suffered or how humble her beginnings were. When a crippling disease devastated multiple members of her family, Esther grieved and discovered God had a purpose for her amid her family’s suffering.
She knew she had to help. She knew God was calling her to be a nurse. Growing up in a poor undeveloped village in the Bahamas, the odds were stacked against her but Esther prayed... “and I began thinking about all the people in the world I would help”.
For anyone who has grieved hard and wondered how to hold on to their faith, Esther’s story is a master class in trusting God. I can’t wait for you to meet her on Your Day Brighter™.
For every parent, there will come moments where you wonder...do I have what it takes to raise these little humans? You might even feel like you have no idea what you’re doing. And then... they start growing up and facing life challenges and your heart could just burst from everything you want for them. You’re in good company!
Join me for a conversation with my very wise and winsome friend, Todd Gaddy. He knows that feeling so well as a father to two lovely young ladies and he’s written a little gem of a book to encourage you called “We’re Going to Make it”.
Parenting is not easy and this just might be that little burst of encouragement that you need right now!
Have you ever said these words.. “One day, I’d like to write a book.” And you’ve been saying those words for years.
Or how about this one- “I am sure I have a book in me!” Or, “I really want to write a book but I don’t have time”, etc...
Think of all the stories that can only be told by you because you’re the one who lived it, or the one who has the idea. Yet so many of these stories will never see the light of day because we do NOTHING about it.
Well, it’s time. Welcome to Season 5 of Your Day Brighter and I am kicking it off with a little kick in the booty for all of us who have dreamed of writing a book. Writing coach, college professor, mentor, and author Yvonne Marie joins me for an unforgettable conversation to get us would-be writers going. And she’s not playing. She coaches, encourages and inspires and when you’re done listening to this, you might have just that spark you need. I know I do!
Every December, I’ve made it a regular practice to go back through my journals and prayerfully consider what God has been teaching me in this past year. I want to learn from my life; my mistakes and wins, my fears, and the state of my relationships. I want to keep growing and never stop.
You too? Join me for a rich conversation with one of my besties- culture coach and artist, Nikki Lerner. Nikki is a journal-er and lifelong learner too. We had so much fun processing with one another some of the things God has been teaching us in this season. It’s amazing how patient He is with us and how some lessons have to come back around for us to own them.
In this final episode of season 4, we’ll unpack some learnings that have been significant to us and talk about some ways to develop your own journaling practice for 2023. If you want to never stop learning from your life, have a listen and let’s learn together.
Joy was leaking from my life. Maybe you can relate?
Last week in episode 14, I define what biblical joy really is and identify some of the joy-stealers we’ve all been battling. But here in episode 15, I’m excited to share with you some very practical ways to get it back!
The Lord has been teaching me so much from the Word and from how He shows up in my life. I am so hopeful for us. While we can’t make ourselves feel anything, there are things we can do to posture ourselves to receive the joy God has given to us in Jesus.
Get ready to take some action and let’s get our joy back!
Joy... Isn’t it something that I “should” have as a Jesus follower? So why does JOY feel so elusive, even slippery at times, like we can’t quite get our hands on it?
If you have wondered who stole your joy lately and you’d like to get it back, I want to help! Join me for this special episode where I give you a new definition of joy to ponder and identify some of those joy-stealers in our lives.
Together let’s learn how to take back this gift God has given to us!
What’s your relationship status with food? Is it complicated? Love/Hate? A battle? The struggle is real!

Healing lives isn’t just possible- it's here.
Jodi and Chris of Love and the Outcome have been through the hardest season of their lives.
First, their record label was sold. Then COVID shut the word down and like other musicians, Jodi and her husband Chris had no way to do shows and provide income for their family. Then their house flooded and was basically destroyed. They were displaced for over a year and a half. Then their trailer was stolen containing all their music gear and some things they managed to save from the flood. All gone. It was literally, one crisis after another, and no way they could fix it themselves. But God.
Join me for this amazing story and conversation with the irrepressible Jodi King and hear how God showed up in the everyday miracles of people being good humans. Jodi says it’s seasons like this, that you really learn WHO God is. There is so much wisdom to glean in this conversation you may want to take notes and have the Kleenex nearby.
Singer Tauren Wells doesn’t just have one of the most amazing voices in music today. He also has a deep passion and love for the Word of God. When you put these obvious giftings together, you have a treasure.
That treasure was almost buried because of some discouraging words that a professor spoke to him in Bible college. He even wondered if he had anything worthwhile to say and stopped speaking and preaching for a few years. It wasn’t until a counselor spoke new words to override the negative ones, that Tauren faced his fears and decided he had to share what God was teaching him.
Join me for an unforgettable conversation with the incredibly gifted musician and yes, preacher, Tauren Wells. His humility is even more compelling than his voice.
No one knew she could sing like that. After the sudden tragic loss of her brother, Anne Wilson knew she needed to worship and spend time in the presence of God. She went to the piano in her family’s home and sang her heart out to Jesus. It was this private moment that was overheard by her stunned mom who said, “Anne... I had no idea you could sing like that”.
No one knew. Even Anne herself didn’t realize the tremendous gift God has given her in music because she had other plans for her life. But moments like these can be God’s way of leading us down the path He had for us all along.
Join me for an unforgettable conversation with an unforgettable person, singer-songwriter, and new author, Anne Wilson. Her story is amazing but not as amazing as the God she’s singing for.
Growing up, my experience going to church was in a contemporary building, with modern music and culture. But occasionally...I would visit a different kind of church with a friend and there, I was exposed to ancient rituals, rhythms, and sacraments that drew me in and touched my heart.
Join me for a warm, rich conversation with Aaron Damiani. Aaron is the lead pastor of Immanuel Anglican Church in Chicago, and the author of Earth Filled With Heaven: Finding Life in Liturgy, Sacraments, and other Ancient Practices of the Church.
Aaron invites us to discover how these historical practices of the early church can nourish our spiritual lives and be a beautiful way to connect with God and community. If your spirit is longing for new ways to go deeper in your relationship with Jesus, the answer just may be... rediscovering the old ways.
“Music is the only thing that doesn’t need permission from your brain to get into your spirit. -Jonathan Traylor singer-songwriter Jonathan Traylor lights it up on my podcast this week in one of the most authentic conversations I’ve ever had.
He shares his story of growing up with an abusive step-dad, who brought violence into the home but on Sundays, went to church. Young Jonathan was confused by the inconsistencies but his Mama never stopped praying. Jonathan found hope in that same God who showed up for his mom. He fell in love with Jesus for himself and even asked God for the gift of music, so he could serve in the church.
Buckle up… because this conversation between a white woman in her 50s and a young African-American man is real and honest about Jesus, grace, and race.
How did the celebrity culture infiltrate the evangelical church and what should be done about it? Writer Katelyn Beaty has written a thought-provoking book, Celebrities for Jesus: How Personas, Platforms, and Profits are Hurting the Church.
She traces the history of the celebrity pastor, mega-churches, publishing deals, and stages and screens; and exposes the dangers of fame without accountability and spiritual maturity.
This is an important topic and Katelyn doesn’t come to it as one with a vendetta, but as one who loves the church, loves Jesus, and is concerned about where we’re headed. We should be too.
Spend a little time with my gracious friend Bobbie Jenkins and you will be LIFTED! Bobbie is the production manager and beekeeper for Hon’s Honey, a social enterprise created to give dignity and purpose to women survivors of trauma, and an outgrowth of a loving community called The Well in Curtis Bay, Maryland. For many women who come to The Well, the story of the past is a painful one; addiction, trafficking, generational poverty, and abuse.
But love has a way of re-writing our stories, taking us from surviving to thriving. Bobbie Jenkins oozes hope and joy! She has a gentle strength and humility that is disarming and drops so much wisdom in this conversation, you may need to take notes.

She’s sold millions of books and records, she’s a popular talk show host, Bible teacher, and speaker... and she knows what it likes to feel like her world is falling apart. Sheila Walsh has an incredible story.
If you’ve ever felt like giving up, or that you couldn’t share your struggle, you will find a safe, compassionate, wise mentor in Sheila Walsh. From her own journey of childhood trauma and depression later in life, she found healing in a place she didn’t want to go, and renewed hope and trust in the God she’d been telling others about for so many years. I want to just sit at her feet and listen to her talk about Jesus. Sheila Walsh is a gift.

Popular radio host and author Brant Hansen joins me for a fascinating look at biblical manhood in a way I’ve never heard it explained before.
In his new book, The Men We Need, Brant shares the qualities that women find the most attractive in a man... spoiler alert: It has nothing to do with his muscles and everything to do with how God designed men.
Brant is warm, wise, and disarmingly hilarious. I love this conversation. Guys... warning, you may be very encouraged by listening to this.

She grew up in a Jewish home, a home that from the outside looked perfect. No one knew the hurt and pain that was happening behind those doors. As a child, she was entrusted to be the confidante and keeper of her mother’s secret affairs; a darkness that a little girl was brought into. That trauma stayed with her into her adult life and affected her ability to love her own family. She tried therapy. Years of it. Jill was broken, and her life was coming apart.
But Jesus.
Join me for a special conversation with author Jill Ellen Smith about God’s holy love and how Jesus rescued her and changed her life.

Her incredible voice has taken her to American Idol, season 9, and a 4-year stint as a backup singer for Katy Perry. But Tasha Layton has finally landed in a personal sweet spot, writing and singing music that draws people closer to God. Have you heard her single, “Look What You’ve Done?” It undoes me!
I was honored to hear her share a bit of her journey to this sweet spot of life, including going from performing in stadiums in elaborate productions to intimate gatherings of worship and being a mom and wife.
Tasha is transparent and relatable, and also shares about her battle with depression that nearly took her life years ago. She is a breath of fresh air; grateful and grounded in her faith- and her music is just one part of a beautiful soul that you’ll get to know on this episode of the podcast.

Twenty-seven years ago, I made a decision that I can never undo. I had an abortion. I carry with me the sorrow of that decision and I will carry it for the rest of my life. But what I don’t carry with me, is the shame and guilt that I felt years ago. This episode is deeply personal because it’s my story. No politics here- Just my story. And I share it as a woman who has experienced the love and grace of God and profound healing from my trauma. I want that for women and men who are living with the pain and shame that has been a secret they’ve been holding for years.

We all want to have better relationships, right? The Bible is deeply relevant when it comes to how we treat other people and it gets all up in our business. And I love it!
On this episode of the podcast, I’m sharing some lessons I’ve learned about loving our friends and yes, I’m still learning. I never want to just let my close relationships be on auto-pilot, but I want to nurture them to be healthy and vibrant.

Darren Mulligan of We Are Messengers is on a mission to tell people about Jesus and come what may, he just keeps going! See what I did there? “Come what May” is We are Messengers #1 single and seems to chronicle Darren’s story.
He joins me for a warm conversation about Jesus, Ireland, making music, and his most recent brush with death in a terrible car accident, (not kidding!) where instead of going to the hospital, he had to catch his flight so he wouldn’t miss telling people about Jesus. His joy is contagious! You’re going to love this man and this conversation.
Do you ever wonder how people in the spotlight keep their heads from getting big? Mark Hall from Casting Crowns could give a Masters Class on how to protect ourselves from that kind of self-promotion. Mark’s focus is clear, it’s all about pointing people to Jesus. And how he approaches a stage and a spotlight may surprise you.
Join me for a candid, refreshing conversation with Mark on day one of his tour. Mark is the real deal. A Jesus lover at his core, a pastor in his calling, and oh, how the word of God just pours out of him! For anyone you know who is trusted with a platform, you’re going to want to share this episode.
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.
You're going to love Evan's heart. Join me for a great conversation with my new friend, singer-songwriter bridge builder… Evan Craft.

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.

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.

So much good stuff here and it doesn’t get more real than we get. If you’re single, I know it will encourage you, and if you’re not- it will help you understand your single friends.

She is one the most influential worship leaders and singers in Hispanoamérica. To quote a friend of mine, “Christine is an icon in Spanish American Christian music.” And I had not heard of her until the day we met for this conversation!
It’s humbling to think all this time, I was not yet aware of the treasure that is Christine D’Clario! She has an incredible story of God’s amazing grace in her life, that began with childhood trauma but turned into surrender and blessing.
I know you will be so encouraged by her story. I am now more than just a new fan of Christine D’Clario, I am a sister.

He’s helped so many of us deal with the pain of our past, and learn to share our stories. He’s helped leaders grow, marriages heal and weary people learn to rest. And he’s helped us see how the gospel is woven into our stories.

His work as a therapist and teacher has transformed the lives of so many, and his books have been foundational in the healing and recovery journey of those touched by trauma.

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?

36:00 #5 - Avoiding Responsibilities

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.

There was a time years ago when I wanted to engage with my neighbors, but I was simply too exhausted by my multiple jobs and a busy schedule. I started feeling isolated, and I noticed I was losing my confidence in connecting with people outside my regular circle. One day, new neighbors arrived, started loving on me, and pulled me back into connection. Through them, I learned community isn’t just a good idea, it’s God’s idea.

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.

Ever feel like you’re stuck in a rut spiritually, emotionally, physically? This is where I found myself 10 years ago, wrestling with this fear deep inside: the best was behind me. There was nothing new to give, nothing new to tap into. I’d hit a wall at the age of 47.
Are you there now? I want to help you get back your sense of newness, and share with you how an experiment – 365 days of new – changed my life and helped me learn what it means to be a "new creation" like the Apostle Paul writes about here in 2 Corinthians 5:17: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!"
