If you are a small business owner who believes that your work is a sacred service, meant to glorify God and serve your neighbors then we invite you to join Tracy as she shares her personal journey, including her insights, highlights, and face-down moments that are all part of the messy journey of following Jesus.On this episode of the Practical Ministry Podcast, Tracy shares her recent experience with reading Howard Rachinski's book “Perpetual: The Secret to Finding God in Your 7 Life Seasons” which sparked a profound self-reflection. Tracy talks about a moment in her own journey when she was asked a life-changing question that made her reevaluate her beliefs and values. This ultimately led her to embrace Christianity, despite previously practicing New Age beliefs as a Jewish person. Tracy emphasizes the importance of prioritizing the search for meaning and purpose in life instead of chasing temporary happiness, which our culture often idolizes.
