    Episode 130: The Cornell Conversation - Would Your Teen Follow Jesus When Everyone Else Stays Silent?

    The Cornell story is everywhere right now, and if you’re raising teenagers, there’s a good chance they’ve already heard pieces of it on TikTok, in group chats, or from friends. But this episode isn’t about dissecting the allegations, deciding who is telling the truth, or trying to determine exactly what happened that night. It’s about a different question: What do we do with a story like this as moms raising teenagers to know and follow Jesus? I’m sharing the very different conversations I’ve had with my 17-year-old daughter and my 15-year-old son, as well as the conversation I plan to have with my daughter who is already living on a college campus. We’re talking about alcohol, drugs, sexual safety, corn, being the person who speaks up when something isn’t right, and why our responsibility as parents goes beyond teaching our daughters how to protect themselves or teaching our sons not to cause harm. Because eventually our kids will be standing in rooms we’re not in. What happens when they see something they know is wrong? What if speaking up means risking a friendship, being labeled uncool, or standing completely alone? And most importantly, what does following Jesus look like in that moment? We’ll also talk about how we pray when the allegations are horrific, the truth is still being determined, and it’s tempting to appoint ourselves judge and jury from our own living rooms. Scriptures referenced in this episode James 1:5 — Asking God for wisdomJohn 15:18–19 — Following Jesus when the world doesn’t approveJames 4:17 — Knowing the good we ought to doProverbs 31:8 — Speaking up for those who cannot speak for themselvesRomans 3:23 — The reality of sin1 John 1:9 — Confession, repentance and forgivenessLuke 10:25–37 — The Good Samaritan and what it means to be a neighbor A Bible I’m loving for teenagers 🤍 I’ve been gifting the ESV Student Study Bible to teenagers in my life because I want the young people I love to do more than hear adults tell them what God says. I want them learning how to open His Word, understand it, and know it for themselves. It’s designed specifically for students, with study notes, background information, maps, character profiles and other resources to help them dig deeper into Scripture. And the edition I’ve been buying is absolutely beautiful. ESV Student Study Bible: https://a.co/d/02eKUZto Because if we want our teenagers to recognize God’s voice when every other voice in the room is telling them something different, we need to help them know His Word.

    Episode 129: Stop Making the Scale Your Health Report Card - 7 Ways to Feel Stronger After 40 featuring Leigh Ann Henson

    What if eating less and trying harder are actually part of the reason you still feel stuck? Certified Naturopathic Practitioner and Certified Health and Nutrition Coach Leigh Ann Henson is back, and this conversation may completely change the way you think about alcohol, chronic stress, food, movement and sleep. We talk about what happens inside your body after a glass of wine, how to recognize when a busy life has crossed into chronic stress and why more than half of the women Leigh Ann works with may not be eating enough. Leigh Ann also shares 7 simple places to begin when wellness has become confusing or overwhelming. One of them may make you want to throw away your scale, and another may give you permission to eat something you’ve been taught to fear. Most importantly, this is a faith-filled conversation about caring for the body God gave you without chasing perfection, following another extreme plan or starting over every Monday. Listen through the end because Leigh Ann is offering every listener a free, personalized 30-minute discovery call. You’ll complete a short intake form beforehand so your conversation can focus on your specific habits, challenges and goals.

    Episode 128: Spiritual Gatekeeper: Are You Guarding What You Allow Into Your Home?

    Lately, God has been opening my eyes to spiritual warfare and our authority in Christ in a way I haven’t experienced before. It actually started while I was reading The Witch and the Lamb. There is a much bigger conversation around spiritual warfare that I think we need to have, and we WILL, but I’m still learning, praying and digging into Scripture before I go there. But it did leave me thinking about something I couldn’t shake: What am I allowing through the gates of my life and my home? As women, we have incredible spiritual influence within our homes. That doesn’t mean controlling our husbands or teenagers, and it certainly doesn’t mean the spiritual health of our entire family rests on our shoulders. Our authority comes from Jesus. But we do have a responsibility to pay attention. In this episode, I’m sharing what God has been teaching me about discernment, boundaries and becoming more intentional about guarding what He has entrusted to me. My prayer is that you finish this episode asking God one simple question: “Lord, what have I been giving access to that You are asking me to guard?” Scriptures mentioned in this episode: Proverbs 14:1 “The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down.” Proverbs 31:27 “She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.” Deuteronomy 6:6–7 “These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children…” Proverbs 4:24 “Keep your mouth free of perversity; keep corrupt talk far from your lips.” James 3:16–18 “For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice…” followed by James’ description of wisdom from heaven as pure, peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. James 1:5 “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God…” Matthew 7:6 “Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs…” ✨ Something NEW is coming for your skin! I can finally share more about the 3-part beauty system I’ve been personally testing! It includes a drinkable Bioactive Precision Peptide, a serum and an emulsion, designed to work together from the inside and outside to support the appearance of healthier, more hydrated, firmer and smoother skin. And it officially launches September 28th!

    Episode 127: Take the Thought Captive: How to Escape the Spiral of Fear & Worry

    Have you ever received one piece of information and, within minutes, your mind has created an entire story about what might happen next? That happened to me this week. One situation involving someone I love sent my thoughts spiraling into fear and worry, and for one night, it robbed me of sleep. But something I’ve been learning about spiritual warfare brought me straight back to a command in Scripture: Take every thought captive. Not some thoughts. Every thought. In this episode, I’m sharing what happened when I stopped letting those thoughts run unchecked and actually put 2 Corinthians 10:4–5 into practice. What started as something I honestly didn’t have time to do became an exercise in freedom that I think I’ll come back to again and again. Because sometimes fear takes a possibility and starts treating it like a prophecy. And when that happens, we need to know how to fight back with truth. If fear, worry, stress or the endless “what ifs” have been taking up too much space in your mind lately, grab your journal and listen to this one. I’m walking you through exactly what I did and how Scripture can help us renew our minds and loosen the grip of the thoughts keeping us stuck. Scriptures Referenced 2 Corinthians 10:4–5Philippians 2:10–11Romans 15:13Proverbs 10:18Proverbs 17:17Romans 12:2Romans 12:17–19Psalm 121:2–3Ephesians 6:14–18 A Quick Note From Me If you’ve been noticing changes in your skin lately, less firmness, uneven tone, fine lines, crepey-looking skin, sagging or even that moment when you look at the skin on your neck or legs and think, When did THAT happen? I have something coming that you’re going to want to know about. I’ve been testing MAKE Wellness’s new Beauty peptides, designed to support your body’s own natural processes from within, and I’m putting together a VIP list for the women who want the details as soon as I’m able to share them. I can’t tell you everything yet. But I can tell you this: you’re going to want to be on this list.

    Episode 126: She Hurt You. Now What? 4 Biblical Ways to Handle a Painful Friendship

    Friendship hurt does not end when we grow up. Being left out, talked about, falsely accused or deliberately hurt by another woman can bring out a desire to defend ourselves, prove what really happened or retaliate in a way we may regret later. I originally recorded this message exactly 2 years ago, but God has continued to deepen these lessons in my own life. I have had to reassess friendships, question who belongs in my closest circle and learn what it truly means to put down my sword when everything in me wants to fight back. How do we know when a painful friendship needs to be reevaluated? Could distance from someone actually be God’s protection? What does it look like to choose prayer, meekness and forgiveness when we know what someone believes about us is not true? If you are walking through a difficult season with a friend, I hope this conversation helps you seek God’s wisdom before reacting and reminds you that reflecting His character matters more than proving that you are right. Scripture Featured in This Episode 1 Corinthians 15:33Proverbs 27:17Psalm 37:23–24Proverbs 3:5–6Ephesians 4:32Colossians 3:13 Resources Mentioned in This Episode Become a Beauty Peptide VIP Three new bioactive beauty peptide products are coming soon: a drinkable peptide that works from within, plus a serum and an emulsion that work topically.

    Episode 125: A Guided Prayer for the Woman Who Is Exhausted

    There are seasons when you aren't just busy. You're depleted. This week, after moving my oldest daughter into college, walking through all the emotions that came with that transition, and then sending my younger 3 back to school, I walked into my office determined to get back to work and push. About an hour later, I realized I wasn't getting much done because I was emotionally and physically tired. And maybe you are too. Sometimes exhaustion comes from hard things. But sometimes it comes from really good things that still require a lot from us emotionally. Either way, our instinct can be to keep pushing when what we actually need is to stop long enough to come to God. Episode 125 is another guided prayer, created for the woman who feels depleted and may not even have the energy to find the words to pray. Jesus tells us in Matthew 11:28, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” He doesn't ask us to get ourselves together first. He simply asks us to come. So that's what we're doing today. If you are emotionally tired, physically exhausted, carrying more than you realize, or struggling to find the words to talk to God, press play and let this prayer help you begin. Scripture referenced: Matthew 11:28–30 and Isaiah 40:28–31 More Guided Prayers Episode 113: A Guided Prayer for Busy Seasonshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-113-a-guided-prayer-for-busy-seasons/id1720432616?i=1000771632294 Episode 119: A Guided Prayer for the Woman Who Needs Prayer Toohttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-119-a-guided-prayer-for-the-woman-who/id1720432616?i=1000777500245 Connect with Me Join LFF Podcast News: www.tracybalderach.com/podcast If The Living Faithfully Fit Podcast encourages you, subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with a friend who could use this prayer today.

    Episode 124: When Life Changes Faster Than Your Heart Can Catch Up: Finding God in the Transition

    Transitions can be exciting, beautiful, prayed for... and still leave you wondering why your emotions feel all over the place. After weeks of preparing to launch my oldest daughter to college, moving her in, coming home, going back for sorority recruitment and finally saying goodbye, everything got quiet. And that's when the transition really started to hit me. Maybe you're not dropping a child at college. Maybe you're starting a new job, moving, sending a child into middle school, launching a graduate into adulthood or simply realizing that a season of your life is changing. This episode is for the woman standing somewhere between what was and what's next. We're looking at a moment between Jesus and His mother, Mary, that has me thinking differently about what happens when our roles change and God asks us to move forward instead of trying to hold onto what has been. Scripture for this episode | Matthew 12:46–50 “While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him. Someone told him, ‘Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you.’ He replied to him, ‘Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?’ Pointing to his disciples, he said, ‘Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.’” 💻 Have you ever wondered if you could build an income from social media? Maybe you're in a transition yourself and part of what you're thinking about is what's next for you. I've spent years building businesses through social media, and today I'm mentoring women who want to create an additional stream of income by sharing products they already use and love. You do not need a huge following or years of experience. But you do need to be willing to learn, show up consistently and get into conversations with people. If you've been curious about the affiliate opportunity I'm building with MAKE Wellness and want to learn more about what it could look like for you, I'd love to share the details with you. Learn more about my business mentorship here: www.tracybalderach.com/businessmentorship If you're in the middle of a transition right now and trying to make sense of all the emotions that come with it, press play.

    Episode 123: 18 Years Later... 3 Things I See Differently Now (Part 2 to Ep 121)

    Two weeks ago, before moving our oldest daughter into college, I shared 3 things I’m incredibly grateful we prioritized during her first eighteen years. Now that we’re on the other side of that move, I’m finishing the conversation. What surprised me when I sat down to prepare for Part 2 was that I couldn't come up with three big things I regretted. Instead, I kept coming back to a few choices I made with really good intentions that I simply see differently now. If you're raising kids who are still under your roof, this isn't an episode about regret. It's about perspective. Because sometimes we don't realize what matters most until we're far enough down the road to look back. 💙 ✈️ Join Me in Dallas! If you've been watching my journey with MAKE Wellness and something inside of you keeps wondering, Could this be for me?, I want to personally invite you to join me at MAKE Summit, September 17–19 in Grapevine, Texas.
