"I kept my testimony hidden. I was embarrassed and ashamed of my past. I wanted so badly to have grown up in a Christian home and to have loved Jesus in my childhood, but that was far from my truth. I blamed God for my abuse and pain. In my youth I would cry out every night asking God to help me and when He didn’t answer, I would take that s...

THIS WEEK'S VERSES: Jonah 1-4 Exodus + Numbers: Israelites and a 40-year pause in the desert "Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months and then w...

February 20, 2023 05:00 - 31 minutes - 21.6 MBThis week, Tracy leads us in a discussion about Unwelcomed Pauses in life--the ones that are unplanned, unforeseen, unexpected, and inconvenient. How can we navigate these pauses well, and even thrive in them? THIS WEEK'S VERSES: "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." (Romans 8:28) “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher t...

November 02, 2020 05:00 - 43 minutes - 30.1 MBIt's the last episode with Tracy in our Walking from Bondage to Breakthrough series, and she leaves us with her story of chronic illness. It's her testimony of how God has healed, and continues to heal, in a year-long battle with Vestibular Neuritis. You will love hearing her personal story as she describes what life is like for her right now, but moreso no matter how she feels, she determined long ago that wherever God leads her, she will preach Christ! What Tracy is learning through her ...
#225: CHRONIC PAIN + ILLNESS (Part 1)
October 26, 2020 04:00 - 46 minutes - 31.7 MBChronic illness is a reoccurring illness that persists over a period of a year and requires ongoing medical attention. More than 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. experience chronic pain, and is significantly more prevalent in women than men. It may or not be obvious, and this statement may be true for you: "I may not look sick, but turn my body inside out and it would tell a different story." Tune in this week as Tracy Hurst, licensed professional counselor, shares how to embrace the uncertainty of...

You're going to love her humor, her transparency and especially her rea...
#223: FROM COMPARISON TO ACCEPTANCE
October 12, 2020 04:00 - 37 minutes - 26.1 MB“We won’t be distracted by comparison if we are captivated with purpose.” These words by Bob Goff jump right to the heart of the matter, don't they? And yet, most women get stuck right there, in the midst of comparison and insecurity, which stunts us from living fully alive in purpose with God and for the kingdom. Tracy lights us up this week with incredible truth bombs on how to move from comparison to acceptance, starting with a life-changing phrase: THAT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS! Honestly, t...
#222: FROM SELF-LOATHING TO LOVE (Part 2)

#219: FROM GRIEF TO GLORY
September 14, 2020 04:00 - 40 minutes - 28.1 MBMost of what we've heard about regarding grief in modern culture is that there are 5 stages -- and that once we get to acceptance we've completed the grieving process. But what if there is more to grief than simply moving through a ladder of stages? What if there is glory in the grief? Tracy walks us through some incredibly powerful truths in this week's episode that you are NOT going to want to miss! Here's a teaser: "Glory is God's goodness in action in front of you.

August 31, 2020 04:00 - 35 minutes - 24.3 MBMajor 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?

August 17, 2020 04:00 - 38 minutes - 26.6 MBIt's time to tackle the issue that very few people struggle with...anxiety! (#saracasticfont) Listen, if you didn't struggle with anxiety prior to the past 5 months, certainly most of us can relate to it in some capacity now.

#212: BE PRAYERFUL-UNANSWERED PRAYER (The Best of Be)
April 27, 2020 04:00 - 30 minutes - 21.1 MBIt's the last #podcast of our throwback Be Prayerful series, and we're focusing on probably the hardest topic of all -- unanswered prayer. There are really only two types of prayers: answered and unanswered. Even if it’s really an answer of wait, it feels unanswered. Do you ever get caught up equating God’s love and existence merely in the answer to your prayer? Why do we do this? This week we dug into some of our friends in the Bible to see that God gave us more than ample examples of answe...
#211: BE PRAYERFUL-LAMENT (The Best of Be)
April 20, 2020 04:00 - 28 minutes - 20 MBTime for the next #podcast episode in our throwback series on prayer! Yes, there’s a time to be strong and courageous and move on. But FIRST, it is absolutely biblical to stop and give space for your pain, frustration, anger, fear, sadness...especially with what's happening in the word right now! There’s a time to speak out in faith and proclaim truth regardless of how you feel, but that comes after you’ve emptied yourself of the desperation first. It has be released and let go TO GOD so tha...
#210: BE PRAYERFUL-PROVISION (The Best of Be)
April 13, 2020 04:00 - 31 minutes - 22 MBWe're back with another episode of our throwback series, Be Prayerful! This week we're talking about provision. You know, sometimes as women we don't ask God to provide because we feel it's selfish to do so; we feel selfish for asking God to give us anything, whether it be healing, restoration, finances, whathaveyou. But Provision isn't just something God does...it's also GOD'S NAME. Abraham called God Jehovah Jirah, "One Who Sees and One Who Provides." And there are over 169 verses in the B...
#209: BE PRAYERFUL INTRO (The Best of Be)
April 06, 2020 04:00 - 25 minutes - 17.9 MBIn this strange and unprecedented time, Sara and I thought it would be fitting to throw it back to a series we did several years ago called Be Prayerful. In this series, we dive into the sheer POWER of prayer. The world can be changed through prayer. Lives can be changed through prayer. Revival is possible through prayer! If you want to have influence in the world, in your community and in your family, then it's time to get on your knees and Be Prayerful! In this introduction episode prayer,...
#208: SARA'S TRIP TO ISRAEL
March 30, 2020 04:00 - 42 minutes - 29 MBTrip of a lifetime! That is exactly what Sara would call the 12 day trip she and her husband, Chris, experienced just a few weeks ago. They weren't even supposed to go on this trip, but 3 weeks before it's scheduled departure, they were invited to attend. In this week's episode, Sara shares the top takeaways from the trip, and gives us all an audio tour of this trip of a lifetime. Make sure to visit the blog at bestillbefree.com/208 to see some of her pictures from the trip! For more resour...
#207: THE WAY OF WISDOM (Proverbs 9)
March 23, 2020 04:00 - 38 minutes - 26.7 MBOne of our favorite things about Solomon is that he doesn’t just give us advice without being practical about it. In Chapter 9, once again he gives us the reasons why we should be invited by “wisdom,” but he also tells us why we should not accept an invitation by “folly.” That is just who God is. He is so for us that He wants us to see both choices we have, and the consequences that follow—be it good or bad. He loves us enough to show us both sides of the coin, as if not to hide anything fro...
#206: VIRTUE OF WISDOM, PART 2 (Proverbs 8)
March 16, 2020 04:00 - 32 minutes - 22.2 MBIt's part 2 of our discussion on Proverbs 8, and in this week’s #podcast, we wrap up our dissection of Wisdom's remaining "be" words -- eternal, delightful, persistent. We go deep into discussion about how maybe we're holding onto things that are negotiable and not foundational truths...and how wisdom should bring delight and joy to our lives. We stay super practical, with tangible things to think about consider for personal daily lives. Listen at your favorite #podcast app or at bestillbef...
#205: THE VIRTUE OF WISDOM, PART 1 (Proverbs 8)
March 09, 2020 04:00 - 33 minutes - 22.9 MBInstead of looking at Wisdom as something we look for and seek out, this week we examine how Wisdom is looking for us. She is out in the highways and hedges to show us herself in our own culture and our own day-to-day life. This week we get really practical, and spend a lot of time in dialogue about wisdom in our own personal, individual lives. We have so much dialogue, in fact, that we decided at toward the end of the episode that we needed to break this into 2-parts! We hope you enjoy this...
#204: WISDOM IS SUPREME (Proverbs 4)
March 02, 2020 05:00 - 25 minutes - 17.8 MBHave you ever felt like you repeat yourself to your kids when trying to really make a point on an issue? Isn’t that what Solomon must have been feeling while writing Proverbs? There's no doubt that he wants his son to hear him and listen to his words. God must feel the same way. If we believe that the Word of God is infallible, and that each word is written for our learning, we must understand that each time Solomon says, “My Son,” God is saying it to us. Do we need to improve our listening ...
#203: THE REWARDS OF WISDOM (Proverbs 3)
February 24, 2020 05:00 - 25 minutes - 17.5 MBIn Proverbs 3, Solomon gets excited (or "geeked up" as Sara would say) about sharing the rewards that come from living out wisdom in everyday life. It’s a back-and-forth volley of if/thens: IF you keep God’s teachings, THEN you’ll have long life and peace. The premises and promises continue throughout the entire chapter, illustrating the glorious and rich benefits of practicing a life of wisdom. Listen to the discussion this week as we explore all these rewards! BE IN THE WORD (This Week’s...
#202: THE VALUE OF WISDOM (Proverbs 2)
February 17, 2020 05:00 - 31 minutes - 21.4 MB"Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is not putting the tomato in a fruit salad," the ever-wise Chris Goede is noted as saying. What is wisdom, though? It might feel like a word that has no context or is so abstract that we cannot wrap our minds around it. Yet it's a very distinct word chosen by Solomon. So how, then, is wisdom different from knowledge or understanding? Here are the definition of the words that can cause us such confusion: Definitions: Wisdom: Not just about k...
#201: EMBRACING THE CALL OF WISDOM (Proverbs 1)
February 10, 2020 05:00 - 23 minutes - 16.2 MBWe're diving into Wisdom from Chapter 1 in Proverbs this week! It's a jam-packed #podcast episode about cultivating wisdom in relationships, behaviors, intentions...and how we need to possess a spiritual desire to want to become wise. It's good stuff, friends! #bestillbefree #beingwise BE IN THE WORD (This Week’s Verses): Read Proverbs 1 I am the Lord your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide and I will fill it. (Psalm 81:10) BE DOERS, NOT JUST HEARERS (...

#198: FAMILY MANAGEMENT
November 11, 2019 05:00 - 39 minutes - 27.1 MBRaising kids is no joke, #amiright? Being an intentional parent (in today's culture especially) is an exhausting undertaking, but one that can reap the greatest rewards if we are diligent and do not grow weary in doing good. (Although moments of weariness or even all-out breakdowns are allowed and even expected!) #handhighintheair So how do we display Christ in our parenting? How do we raise humans and not just have babies? The answer can be found in James 1:5 which is an anchor verse for us...
#197: MARRIAGE MANAGEMENT
November 04, 2019 05:00 - 36 minutes - 24.8 MBWe've got just three episodes left in 2019 (can you believe it??), and these last episodes are going to focus on practical management strategies for different areas of life: marriage, family and everyday/holiday. This week, we dive into tangible things that have helped us navigate our marriages. This is by no means us having it all figured out; rather it's us haring the few things we have figured out and realizing we have a lot more to learn along the way. (This uniting of two separate peopl...
