Chronic Illness & Keeping the Faith
No one would ever choose Chronic Illness and yet when Chronic Illness chooses us we have some big decisions to make. Join Monica, Sara and I as we look at Chronic Illness, how it can impacts us, our family and more importantly how to move from bondage to breakthrough even in the face of a Chronic Illness.

Depression to Hope
Major Depressive Disorder is the “common cold” of mental illness in America, impacting over 17 million people. It affects how we feel, think and behave, and is usually accompanied with unexpressed sadness, hurt, anger, disappointment, fear or guilt.
And guess what? Women are nearly twice as likely as men to have depression. This is why we’re doing this series! Women are drowning in depression and we want to bring HOPE! This week, Tracy gives us an incredible teaching on how we can not only get help, but also how we can DARE TO HOPE.
From Anxiety to Peace
I’ll just leave this right here for you….
Take just a few minutes for yourself and for God’s Word…and may His peace wash over you! XOXO Tracy
5 minute Takeaway: Fear to Faith
We picked our winner last week and the Wonder & Awe Journal is one it’s way!!!
Fear To Faith (Part Two)
Grab your AWE & WONDER Journal and let’s begin uprooting fear! It’s time for FAITH to become our root system. It is possible to live in faith and struggle with fear, rather than live in fear and struggle with faith.
Fear to faith is possible – I am living proof!

Interview with Kevin and Taylor on 104.7 The Fish
Tracy Hurst: Finding Hope While Dealing With Pandemic Depression
So…I cannot say enough good things about Kevin & Taylor and their producer, Griffin on 104.7! It was truly an honor to be interviewed by them and my thanks goes out to Taylor’s sister (I don’t know her name) but she heard me speak at a Women’s Conference a while back, and a recent Podcast with Monica & Sara on Bestillbefree.com. The interview is short and sweet, but I pray it brings encouragement to even a few during the strange time of the coronavirus shutdown. Blessings!

About
Tracy became a Christian at the age of 16 and her life was changed forever. She went from being a depressed, suicidal, rebellious teenager to a dynamic leader for Christ. Immediately after accepting Jesus as her Savior, Tracy fought the school board in order to begin a Bible study on school grounds at her high school in Illinois. The dramatic transformation in Tracy's life has inspired many, including her own mother, to give their lives to Christ.
