In this episode, Tracy delves into the inspiration behind her choice of Galatians 5:22-23 as her theme for the upcoming year. She explores the Biblical concept known as the "Fruit of the Spirit," which consists of nine virtues: love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. 

Toward the end of the episode, Tracy provides guidelines to help apply these virtues in practical ways, enabling you to become a better version of yourself. 

In the conclusion, Tracy ends with a heartfelt prayer, seeking God's guidance and strength. She also asks for help in developing the nine virtues and becoming a source of love and encouragement for others.

In the outro, Tracy offers a glimpse into the next episode, (airing on March 15th) which will build on this episode's references to the Holy Spirit, taking a deeper dive into His significance.

If you are not familiar with the Holy Spirit and would like to gain a better understanding, we recommend watching a 4-minute video from the Bible Project. This video will provide you with a concise overview of the topic.

Join Tracy on this enlightening journey as she explores how these virtues can positively shape and influence our lives!

Insecurity.

Wouldn't it be great if you could pack it up and send it to a desolate island?  Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. It's a scheme you and I have to deal with.

Since I can remember, I have struggled with feeling insecure. But reaching 33, I decided it needed to be over with. 

This episode will cover:

• 3 Bible segments that helped me a lot
• 4 practical tips
• and realness

Enjoy!
