Podcast appearances and mentions of Tracy Lawrence

Welcome back on board TL's Road House! Tracy Lawrence sits down with country singer-songwriter Lanie Gardner to talk musical inspirations, family influence, stage nerves and more. A North Carolina native with traditional roots, Lanie first blew fans away in 2020 when her YouTube cover of “Dreams” by Fleetwood Mac went viral. Before that, she was learning guitar and singing alongside her dad from an early age. Her career has quickly taken off with a record deal right out of college, opening for major acts like the Jonas Brothers, Jelly Roll and Cody Johnson, and she most recently released her sophomore album, Faded Polaroids. Tracy and Lanie get real about life lessons they have learned, while also bonding over their go-to Broadway bars, and the memories made along the way. Tune in for a fun and heartfelt conversation with one of country music's fastest-rising stars!

Get involved.” - Ken Isaacs “I’m constantly looking for ways to intertwine all the avenues in such a way as to reach people who are in the ditches of life for the purposes of saving lives, reducing suffering, and doing it in Jesus’ name.” - Ken Isaacs “It has a profound impact on me, the way that [God] weaves things together beyond the horizon of our vision.” - Ken Isaacs “God comes through on His promises, but that doesn’t always mean you’re going to have happy endings. What God promises is that He will be with us through the valley of the shadow of death. I find in my most desperate situations is when I most desperately turn to the Lord and seek His guidance.” - Ken Isaacs “I wanted to present that to those experiencing homelessness—by listening to them, listening to their stories, elevating their voice, it could help save thousands of people. God saved me, and I want to help and go to the same for somebody else.” - Evan Dougoud “One of the most powerful things you can provide somebody is your ears. So by listening, by affirming to them, by allowing their voices to be heard, by allowing their testimony to be heard, that really is breaking barriers, but also creating a solution of trust.” - Evan Dougoud “It takes constant practice to look for the blessings, and to stay connected to something bigger than my thoughts and feelings.” - Diane Chew “There are ways we can take care of ourselves, even as we’re taking care of somebody else. It takes intention, it takes willingness, it takes stubbornness, I think, to not go down with the ship.” - Diane Chew “Whatever you’re facing that feels like it’s beyond your ability to cope, the truth is yes it is. But together with your Creator, you will cope and you will be stronger than the storm.” - Diane Chew “Since I was a young kid, I always believed that God had a plan for me and He had great things in store for my life.” - Tracy Lawrence “It seems like the more you do, the more you realize you’re barely scratching the surface. But hopefully you’ll inspire somebody else, somewhere else, to just do our part to help out our fellow man.” - Tracy Lawrence “I think we all have a responsibility, wherever we’re at in life and whatever you can afford to do, to just contribute and help your fellow man out. I think that when God has blessed you, you have a responsibility to share that with the people you come in contact with and to spread a little bit of that love and joy.” - Tracy Lawrence ________________________ Connect with Jesus Calling Instagram Facebook Twitter Pinterest YouTube Website TikTok *Episode produced by Four Eyes Media* Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

We’re back! Joey traveled back from Iowa, Nancy spent time at home, and Karly slept a ridiculous number of hours over the break. Today is the last day of class for Professor Nancy's UT class. Instead of holding real class, she is taking all the students to Main Event. Monday Morning Wake Up Call with 10-Year-Old Oakley and 9-Year-Old Kendall! Karly had to call 911 while working at Fantasy of Trees on Saturday. A man collapsed outside and needed CPR and an AED. It was really scary, and it made her want to renew her CPR/AED certification. Hot Tea: Lane Kiffin is officially going to coach LSU Football. 600 frozen turkeys were spoiled due to a truck breaking down the night before Tracy Lawrence was supposed to give them out to families in Nashville. He put out a call for the community to bring spare turkeys, and they brought over 2,000! Riley Green let Charles Barkley come on stage with him at a show in Auburn. Charles praised Auburn and had some choice words for Alabama. Joey and his wife Jhasta were super excited about the new season of Stranger Things. Joey wanted to watch it with Jhasta, but she watched it without him because he fell asleep. Americans spent a BUNCH of money on Black Friday. Nancy went shopping a little but left because the crowd was too much. Most “sales” aren’t even worth the hassle! Lucky 7 Joey survived Thanksgiving at his mom’s house, even after the drama last week. His mom had agreed to eat at 3pm, but the food was not ready then and they ended up eating way later. Plus, some other drama! We are having our 3rd annual Kidsgiving toy drive this Saturday!
