What does it take to live a life that continues to make a difference, year after year? Maybe it isn't having all the answers or reaching the world's levels of success. Maybe it's staying teachable, never settling for “good enough,” and remaining humble and grateful for what God has done.
Join Tracie as she talks with Pastor Greg Neal about his mother, Becky Neal—a lifelong pastor's wife, passionate soulwinner, and faithful influence on generations of women and girls. Her simple philosophy of living with a “happy spirit” shaped the way she served, learned, grew, and influenced others. And the woman who spent her life influencing others never imagined that one of those lives would eventually become her own pastor. Becky Neal's story is a reminder that true success—not measured in years, but in decades—comes from remaining faithful, teachable, humble, and grateful.

What if you didn't have to reject traditional womanhood to become a woman of influence? What if you could stand against the cultural tide and still fulfill the role God gave you? These three "Iron Ladies" proved that you don't have to abandon God's design to make your mark on the world.
Join Tracie and Abigail as they explore the lives of three women who became some of the most powerful and influential women in the 20th century. Thatcher and Reagan openly rejected feminism, yet neither let the expectations of the movement define her. Their stories remind us that they didn't need to reject traditional womanhood in order to become powerful women. That's what Breaking the Mold is all about!

What if the very things that make you different—your upbringing, your experiences, your circumstances, even your position in life—are actually the things God intends to use? What if your story isn't something you have to overcome, but something God can use to prepare you for exactly the ministry He has for you?
Join Tracie and Abigail as they share the stories of Coystal Hyles and Beverly Hyles—two very different women who became powerful influences in the life and ministry of Jack Hyles. Coystal, as a mother, refused to let difficult circumstances keep her from raising her son with Christian values. Beverly, as a wife, brought the influence of a godly home and strong biblical values into her marriage and ministry alongside her husband. Their stories remind us that Breaking the Mold means refusing to let circumstances hold us back while also recognizing that God can use our unique backgrounds, experiences, and upbringing to equip us to serve Him in exactly the way He intended.

What does it mean to break the mold when the world has already decided what success should look like? In postwar America, the dream was to build a comfortable life, but some chose to step outside those expectations, trading the American dream for a life devoted to following God's call wherever it led.
Join Tracie and Abigail as they share the story of Laverne Rodgers, whose call to missions began while he was a young soldier during World War II. By 1950, he was in Japan, where he and his wife devoted their lives to evangelizing the country. For 72 years, Laverne faithfully served on the mission field, continuing until his death at 95. Their story reflects this season's theme, Breaking the Mold—choosing God's calling over the comforts and expectations of postwar America and discovering a life of purpose on the mission field.

What happens when a woman refuses to be confined by what others think she should be? What happens when she simply follows God, uses the gifts He has given her, and allows Him to shape her into the woman He wants her to be?
Join Tracie and Abigail as they continue the story of Marlene Evans, following her lifetime of ministry from the early 1960s until her passing in 2001. A teacher, wife, mother, dean, speaker, writer, leader, soul winner, and developer of people, Marlene broke the mold without breaking biblical principles. Her story is a powerful picture of this season’s Breaking the Mold—and of a woman who didn't simply serve God herself, but helped countless others discover what God could do through them. And when her work was finished, she left behind the words she had taught so many others: “Rejoice in the Lord alway, and again I say rejoice.”

What if your life's experiences were meant to prepare you for something you couldn't yet see? What if the lessons, opportunities, disappointments, and unexpected turns along the way were all part of God's preparation for what He had ahead?
Join Tracie and Abigail as they begin the story of Marlene Evans and discover how the experiences God allowed in her young life shaped the woman she became. From the time she was a little girl and heard the words “Follow Thou Me,” those words became a thread through her life, carrying her through years of preparation for serving God. Her story is a beautiful example of this season’s theme, Breaking the Mold—following God beyond what others might expect. And next week, that preparation gives way to a lifetime of ministry.

Have you ever wondered if the expectations placed on women by our culture actually reflect God’s design? Have you ever felt that you had to choose between being a biblical woman and pursuing the gifts, abilities, and opportunities God has given you? What if you could step outside the mold without stepping outside God’s Word? What if you could "have it all" in living for God?
Join Tracie and Abigail as they introduce Season 13 of the Abundant Living Podcast, “Breaking the Mold.” This season, they’ll share stories of 20th-century Christians, historical figures, and fellow sisters in Christ who refused to settle for what culture told them they had to be. These women didn’t abandon biblical principles to make an impact—they surrendered their gifts, personalities, intelligence, courage, creativity, and influence to Christ and allowed Him to use them in remarkable ways.

Have you ever wondered if the hardest pivots in life could become the very ones God uses most? When grief, loss, and unanswered questions reshape our future, it can feel impossible to imagine that anything good could come from the pain. Yet God's purposes are often unfolding long before we can see where He is leading.
In this Season 12 finale, Tracie continues her conversation with Pam Triplett as she shares the rest of her remarkable testimony. From blending a new family to walking through unimaginable loss and discovering God's sustaining grace in the darkest seasons, Pam reflects on the faithfulness of the Lord through every pivot. Her story is a powerful reminder that while we may not understand the path God chooses, He never wastes our pain. Sometimes the very pivots we would have avoided become the doorway to a new season of purpose, hope, and ministry.

Have you ever wondered how God uses the unexpected pivots of life to accomplish His will? From the excitement of new beginnings to seasons that leave us questioning what comes next, His plan doesn't always unfold the way we imagine. Yet every step—even the difficult ones—can become part of a story that reveals His faithfulness.
In this episode, Tracie welcomes Pam Triplett to share the first part of her remarkable testimony. From finding Christ and learning to follow His leading, to navigating unexpected turns and discovering God's grace through life's changing seasons, Pam reflects on the lessons that shaped her faith in her childhood and early adult years. Her story is an encouraging reminder that even when we cannot see where the next pivot will lead, we can trust the God who is faithfully directing every step. Be sure to join us next week for the Season 12 finale as Pam shares the rest of her remarkable story of resilience through life's storms—and the faithfulness of God through it all.

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.
