Tracey Tiernan was making really good money playing in a band on weekends. She was having lots of fun and pursuing her life-long dream of being a professional singer.

And, then Tracey reconnected with Jesus. She returned to church and started leading worship. Tracey also began to feel like she was leading a dual life because of her band job. She knew she had to quit, but she also needed the money.

Faith is hard because we can’t see what’s on the other side.

Isaiah 40:31 tells us that those who hope in the Lord with renew their strength. In this episode you’ll hear the story of how God gave Tracey the strength for the faith needed to make a really hard decision.

“Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength” (Isaiah 40:31)
