Equip and Encourage Women Podcast with Tracy Lynn Dougherty

After a full day of filling your role as Mama it can be challenging to switch roles to Hot Mama. This is especially hard when you have young children. You may not FEEL like Hot Mama for weeks at a time.

In this podcast, I’m going to talk about how to go from “Mama” to “Hot Mama” in 4 easy steps. Number 3 might shock you but it’s the easiest and most powerful step!

I love being married and I want that for you, too! In this podcast, I share three tools to help take your marriage to the next level.

Many parents seem to be married to their children instead of their spouse. We're putting all of our energy into creating model children. One of the best gifts you can give your child is a strong, healthy marriage.

We are carefully protecting many things in our lives. Our bank accounts, our cars, our homes, our children, but are we doing what it takes to protect our marriage?

I don’t know about you, but me... well, I mess up. I make mistakes. In this podcast, I’m going to talk about 3 steps to clean up the mess.

The thing is, we can’t allow our mistakes to paralyze us. The Bible is full of people who sinned and messed up but they didn’t allow it to stop them from moving forward.

Where do you find yourself losing your religion? The airport is where I turn into a crazy woman. Or what about the "12 items or less" checkout lane at the grocery store? Need I say more?!?

I realized that I was handing over my peace of mind to other people - people I have no control over. I was being easily annoyed by others actions, causing me to not be an ambassador for Jesus.

How do you instead CHOOSE to show grace?

I am passionate about marriage and I want to equip and encourage you to have the best marriage possible. I’ve been married almost 30 years and I want to share with you one of the secrets that I think has helped me have a great marriage.

If you put FIGHT in your marriage, it can be powerful!! It's about being intentional in your marriage rather than just always assuming everything is fine. Because if we’re not intentional, next thing we know, everything is not fine.

In the third and final podcast in our series "Who You Are in Christ," we'll wrap up with 6 powerful truths about who we are in Christ.

For a while, I somehow thought I needed to earn God’s love. Crazy, right? I knew that wasn’t the truth but somehow, I found myself caught up in this lie and it had a huge consequence in my life.

Have you ever experienced a challenging time in your life, when all of a sudden you felt God clearly telling you how much He loves you? It's true! YOU are loved and chosen by the high King.

Ever felt like you’re not enough? Not pretty enough? Not smart enough? Not young enough? Not old enough? Just not enough! Join us for the second podcast in a three-part series to learn powerful Biblical truths about who you are in Christ. I’m going to share with you my crazy story to realizing it’s not about me being enough. I AM enough because God is enough!

Oftentimes we allow other people or circumstances to tell us who we are. What would happen if we let God tell us who we are? Join us for the first video in a three-part series to learn powerful Biblical truths about who you are in Christ.

The first truth is that we are loved! 1 John 4:19 tells us that God loved us first! That's where it all begins; everything else stems from this truth. Once we accept this to be true, we will see our lives changing and our ability to love others growing stronger.

We’ve all experienced it. Many times, we’re blindsided by it – the hard news comes! Sometimes we respond with anger, disbelief, pretend it didn’t happen, tears. So many different emotions.

2 Chronicles 20 walks us through the emotions of hard news and the powerful, proper response to that hard news.

I’m praying for you! In the comments below, please let me know how I can pray for you more specifically.

If we look at our Facebook page it looks like we have a huge group of friends. But if that’s true, why are we so lonely?

Christian friendships have certain characteristics that are necessary for strong, reliable relationships. In this podcast, I’m going to share 3 characteristics that I think are critical for healthy relationships.
