Living Faithfully Fit with Tracy Balderach

In this episode, I’m inviting you to pause and ask one of the most important questions we can ever ask: What was I made for? We’re digging into Ephesians 2:8–10 — one of my favorite reminders that we’re not just saved from something… we’re saved for something. God created you with intention, and He’s already prepared good works for you to walk in. If you’re feeling exhausted, stuck, unsure of your...

Welcome back to The Living Faithfully Fit Podcast! Have you ever felt like the door in front of you is closed… and maybe God is telling you no? But what if… that closed door isn’t the end? In today’s episode, I’m sharing a powerful story from Mark 2—and a message for the woman who’s tired, discouraged, or ready to give up. 💛 We’re talking about faith that doesn’t stop at the door… and what might...

Do you ever catch yourself overcommitting, hustling for approval, or carrying the weight of others’ opinions? Today, we’re diving into why people pleasing isn’t part of God’s design — and how you can break free and live from a place of peace, purpose, and freedom. I’m sharing a personal story from my own journey of busy-ness and burnout, unpacking why our worth isn’t measured by what we do for oth...

We live in such a digital world. And while I’m thankful for it—I mean, I run an online business and I love podcasting—I’ve also seen how easy it is to lean on convenience and miss out on real connection. I’m sharing a story from a women’s outreach I helped lead and what changed everything when we stopped depending on emails and started having real conversations. I’ll also walk you through 3 practi...

This episode is a powerful reminder that the questions we ask ourselves are shaping our mindset—and our future. As women, we carry quiet thoughts like “I should have this figured out by now” or “I don’t think God hears me.” But what if we paused and asked something better? What if faith-filled questions could rewire our brains and realign our hearts? Rooted in Romans 12:2 and backed by neuroscienc...

In this short but powerful episode, we’re diving into the book of Job—and how his well-meaning friends ended up making his suffering even harder. If you’ve ever found yourself giving advice to a friend without first pausing to pray, this one’s for you. We’ll look at how even “spiritual-sounding” advice can do harm when it’s not rooted in love, timing, and truth. And we’ll explore how grief and fai...

In this episode, we’re digging deep into the subtle ways gossip shows up in our daily conversations—and how it often starts in the way we speak to ourselves. This isn’t just about caddy talk or whispering behind someone’s back. This is about heart posture, self-talk, and whether our words reflect God’s love—100% of the time. If you’ve ever caught yourself asking for details when someone shares the...

I believe that when the Bible tells us to “love our neighbor,  the text isn’t talking about the neighbor who looks like you, acts like you, votes like you, and likes the same things as you. You know why? Because it’s easy to love people who are like us.  It’s harder to love people who are different from us; but I believe that’s exactly where God calls us to in this passage.  How do we love the peo...

If we aren’t looking for this one thing in our lives (past and present); our gratitude can only go from our head to our mouth and skips the heart….. God is in the business of changing hearts and when we praise Him for this one thing that He still does in our life over and over again; then our gratitude goes from our heart, to our head to our mouth! Tune in and let’s dive in! Let’s go! DON’T MISS!...

In the midst of a setback, we serve a God who is able to do abundantly more than we can imagine. That’s a truth we need to keep on repeat!

Let’s go back to the beginning, the Genesis of it all; and unpack a few things that will remind us that we are PROMISED blessing. Sound good? If yo...

Friend, if you are in a storm, know there is a storm on the brink or have recently walked out of a storm, I am here to share with you that I am currently in one too. This past week, I found out that the career I have built over the last 10 years is over. Boom! Just like that, (on paper) it’s about to vanish. You want to know what? I have experienced so much peace, hope and encouragement this week...
