    In the final installment of Practical Ministry, Tracy takes a moment to reflect on the foundational aim of the podcast: to document her spiritual journey and celebrate the divine guidance along the way. She acknowledges that while this mission was fulfilled, the narrative began to inadvertently shift towards a more personal focus. With heartfelt thanks, Tracy recognizes the unwavering support and encouragement from her listeners, which has been a cornerstone of the podcast’s success.

    Looking back, Tracy contemplates the personal evolution and valuable lessons learned through the process of podcasting. She extends her gratitude to the vibrant community that has formed and cherishes the uplifting feedback from her audience. Drawing wisdom from John Mark Comer’s “The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry,” Tracy underscores the importance of decelerating, streamlining our lives, and prioritizing what’s genuinely important. She shares an epiphany that some endeavors may stray from the true essence of tranquility and contentment. To guide listeners towards embracing transformation and rejuvenation, Tracy outlines actionable steps, imparts motivational verses from the Scriptures, and concludes with a heartfelt prayer.

    May you be blessed! 🙏

    In this episode, Tracy delves into the inspiration behind her choice of Galatians 5:22-23 as her theme for the upcoming year. She explores the Biblical concept known as the "Fruit of the Spirit," which consists of nine virtues: love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

    Toward the end of the episode, Tracy provides guidelines to help apply these virtues in practical ways, enabling you to become a better version of yourself.

    In the conclusion, Tracy ends with a heartfelt prayer, seeking God's guidance and strength. She also asks for help in developing the nine virtues and becoming a source of love and encouragement for others.

    In the outro, Tracy offers a glimpse into the next episode, (airing on March 15th) which will build on this episode's references to the Holy Spirit, taking a deeper dive into His significance.

    If you are not familiar with the Holy Spirit and would like to gain a better understanding, we recommend watching a 4-minute video from the Bible Project. This video will provide you with a concise overview of the topic.

    Join Tracy on this enlightening journey as she explores how these virtues can positively shape and influence our lives!
