Gentleness is not weakness. It is not passivity. It is not personality. Gentleness is strength under the complete control of the Holy Spirit. In this powerful episode, Tracie explores what gentleness truly looks like in the life of a believer and why it is one of the clearest marks of someone walking closely with Jesus. Through Scripture, deep insight, and compassionate truth, this message reveals how gentleness transforms relationships, calms conflict, heals wounds, and reflects the very heart of Christ.

Jesus describes His own heart as gentle and humble, and the Holy Spirit produces that same gentleness within us as we learn to yield our reactions, our tone, and our strength to Him. This episode will challenge, soften, and strengthen you as it unpacks how gentleness restores what harshness damages and how it becomes a holy force in a loud, reactive world.

If you have struggled with irritability, defensiveness, harshness, or emotional exhaustion, this episode will show you that gentleness is not something you try to produce on your own. It is a supernatural fruit the Holy Spirit grows inside you as you remain close to Jesus.

Faithfulness is not perfection. It is not emotional strength. It is not having every answer. Faithfulness is choosing to stay when life gives you every reason to walk away. In this powerful episode, Tracie unpacks the deep, Spirit-born reality of faithfulness: not what we manufacture through effort, but what the Holy Spirit cultivates inside us as we depend on God day by day, moment by moment.

Through Scripture, real honesty, and the gentle weight of Gods presence, this episode walks listeners into the truth that Gods faithfulness is the foundation of our faithfulness. Even in seasons of exhaustion, confusion, waiting, or silence, He remains steady, present, and unchanging. And because God is faithful, we can be faithful.

This message will lift weary hearts, steady shaken souls, and restore hope in listeners who feel like they are barely holding on. Faithfulness isnt loud, glamorous, or perfect. It is simply staying connected to the One who holds you.

Come breathe. Come rest. Come be reminded of the God who never lets go.

In this special Thanksgiving episode of Fostering Faith, Tracie shares how the fruit of the Spirit comes together in one unmistakable evidence of a Spirit-filled life: a thankful, grateful heart. Using Scripture as the foundation, she explores what the Bible says about gratitude in passages such as Ephesians 5:18–20, where Paul teaches that being filled with the Spirit results in “always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

She also highlights 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18, where believers are commanded to “rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and in everything give thanks, for this is God’s will,” and Colossians 3:15–17, where Paul teaches that the peace of Christ should rule in our hearts and that followers of Jesus should “be thankful” and do everything “giving thanks through Him to God the Father.”

Drawing from the same biblical framework echoed in Dr. David Jeremiah’s message The Best Evidence of the Holy Spirit, this episode reminds listeners that gratitude is not a mood but a supernatural work of the Spirit. Whether this season feels joyful or heavy, this message encourages believers to see thanksgiving as a sign that the Holy Spirit is actively shaping and strengthening their hearts.

Tracie unpacks one of the deepest truths about faith — that you can’t follow what you don’t understand. We live in a world that teaches us to earn everything, even love, but Jesus flips that upside down. Through real stories, practical examples, and biblical truth, Tracie reveals why people struggle to follow Jesus when they don’t fully grasp the kind of love He offers — a love that can’t be earned, only received.

If you’ve ever wondered why it feels easier to believe in Jesus than to actually follow Him, this episode will speak straight to your heart. Tracie walks you through what grace really means, how to move from performance to peace, and how understanding God’s love changes everything about how we live, lead, and love others.

Listen in and let this episode remind you that you don’t have to prove anything to God — you just have to understand that you are already loved.
