    #172 – A Health Pivot: Learning to Serve Well

    Have you ever felt guilty for slowing down? Many Christian women pour themselves into serving others while neglecting the very body and mind God has entrusted to them. When illness, exhaustion, or life's unexpected pivots force us to stop, we may wonder if we're doing enough for the Lord. But what if caring for yourself is not selfish at all, but an act of faithful stewardship? In this episode, Tracie shares the heart behind her North Florida Baptist Ladies Conference session, "Do Well and Be Well for the Lord," based on the truth of "Ye are not your own… therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit." Joined by Abigail, they discuss the physical and emotional pivots that have reshaped their own lives and ministries, the importance of caring for the bodies God has given us, and the freedom to seek help, rest, eat well, see a doctor, and lean on trusted friends without guilt. Drawing from the lives of faithful servants like Susannah Spurgeon and Amy Carmichael, this episode reminds us that stewarding our health isn't a distraction from serving God—it enables us to serve Him faithfully for years to come.

    #171 – Pivot to Redemption: Rosanna Patience Edgerley Grenfell's Story

    Have you ever wondered if one wrong decision could forever change God's plans for your life? Failure has a way of convincing us that we've missed our opportunity to be used by the Lord. But Scripture reminds us that …a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again… God's grace is not an excuse for sin—it is an invitation to repent, rise, and faithfully follow Him once more. In this episode, Tracie and Abigail share the remarkable story of Rosanna Patience Edgerley Grenfell. After a life-altering mistake seemed to bring an end to a future in African missions, she and her husband chose to do what was right, patiently accepted the consequences, and remained open to God's leading. When the door to the Congo opened again, they walked through it in faith, and God used them to help bring the Gospel to people who had never heard His name. George and Rosanna Grenfell's story reminds us that while our failures may redirect our path, they do not have to define our future when we are willing to rise again in obedience.

    #170 – Pivot of Multiplying Ministry: Vernon Charlesworth's Story

    Have you ever felt God asking you to take on something more? Sometimes His pivots don't require us to leave where we are—they simply ask us to trust Him with greater responsibility. Though the path may seem overwhelming, God faithfully equips those who are willing to follow His leading. In this episode, Tracie and Abigail share the inspiring story of Vernon Charlesworth, who answered God's call to lead Charles Spurgeon's orphanage while continuing to faithfully preach where God called him and to care for his own large family. Through his willingness to embrace God's unexpected pivot, hundreds of orphaned children found hope and faith in Christ, and generations have been encouraged by the timeless hymn Shelter in the Time of Storm. His story reminds us that when we surrender our plans to God's greater purpose, He can multiply our influence far beyond what we ever imagined.

    #169 – Presidential Pivot: Sarah Bush Lincoln's Story

    Have you ever faced a pivot that completely changed the course of your life? Perhaps your plans gave way to unexpected responsibilities or circumstances you never would have chosen. While those moments can leave us wondering what God is doing, they are often the very places where He accomplishes His greatest work. In this episode, Tracie and Abigail share the remarkable story of Sarah Bush Lincoln, whose unexpected pivots led her into a role she never could have imagined. Rather than dwelling on what might have been, she faithfully invested in her family, rooted them in church, and nurtured the character of her young stepson, Abraham Lincoln. Through her quiet faithfulness, God used Sarah's influence to help shape the man who would one day preserve the Union. Her story reminds us that when we embrace God's pivots with willing hearts, He can use our ordinary obedience to accomplish extraordinary purposes for generations to come.

    #168 – Pivots of Sorrow: Miscarriage, Loss, and Blessings

    Have you ever experienced a pivot in life that you never would have chosen for yourself? When joy suddenly gives way to grief and the path ahead seems filled with more questions than answers, it can be difficult to understand what God is doing. Yet some of life's hardest pivots become the very places where God teaches us to trust Him most. In this episode, Tracie continues her conversation with Alyssa King as she shares the joy of welcoming her twin daughters, followed by the heartbreaking loss of four pregnancies. Through these unexpected pivots, Alyssa learned that God's ways are higher than our ways and His purposes can be trusted even when they are hidden from view. Her testimony is a powerful reminder that faithfulness in the darkest valleys is never wasted. When we continue to follow the Lord through seasons of grief and uncertainty, we may one day find ourselves declaring with gratitude, "My cup runneth over."

    #167 – Pivots That Led Home: Alyssa King's Story

    Have you ever found yourself in a season of change you didn't ask for? When life takes an unexpected turn, it can be difficult to understand why God is allowing the circumstances around you to shift. What if the very pivots you resist today are the ones God is using to lead you exactly where He wants you tomorrow? In this episode, Tracie sits down with her friend Alyssa King to discuss the many pivots that shaped her life story. From a difficult childhood marked by constant change and the loss of her mother, to moving from family to family and facing uncertain circumstances, Alyssa shares how God was faithfully working behind the scenes. Every turn in the road was leading her to a Bible-believing church, where she found Christ and eventually met the man who would become her husband. Through resilience, obedience, and a growing trust in the Lord, she discovered that God's way is always best. Her testimony is a powerful reminder that even when we cannot see God's purpose in the pivot, we can trust the One who is directing our path.

    #166 – Focused: Helen Lemmel's Lasting Legacy

    Have you ever felt like you've wandered too far from the path God intended for you? Perhaps choices, circumstances, or disappointments have taken you in a direction you never expected, leaving you wondering whether God can still use your life for His purposes. Yet God's grace has a remarkable way of meeting us where we are and redirecting our steps toward something greater. In this episode, Tracie and Abigail explore the life of hymn writer Helen Lemmel. Though her journey was marked by unexpected turns and difficult seasons, Helen's story is a powerful reminder that no one is beyond God's reach. When she turned her focus back to Christ, God used her life to leave a legacy that continues to encourage believers generations later.

    #165 – Outside the Box: Lilias Trotter's Innovative Ministries

    If God gave you a specific talent, a unique background, or a hobby you love, is it possible He intended to use those very things as a bridge to the Gospel? Many of us wait for a "traditional" door to open, but what if the most effective way to reach your neighbor is to think entirely outside the box? In this episode, Tracie and Abigail dive back into the life of Lilias Trotter to look at her ingenious ministry methods. From her early days advocating for women with the YWCA to her pioneering work in North Africa, Lilias didn't leave her artistry behind—she used it as a key to unlock hearts. We discuss how she used her sketches, her appreciation for beauty, and even her unique life experiences to connect with people who were closed off to the Gospel message. Join us as we explore how, with a little ingenuity and tenacity, your own unique "pivot" can lead to a ministry that reaches others for the cause of Christ.
