What do you do when war comes into your life? It may not look like a battlefield, but the battles are real—health crises, broken relationships, financial hardship, unexpected loss, spiritual opposition, or seasons that leave you feeling overwhelmed and outmatched. When the odds feel impossible, it’s easy to wonder if standing firm will even matter.

In this season opener, Tracie and Abigail introduce the new series “When War Comes,” drawing from powerful stories during and surrounding World War II. Through history, Scripture, and heartfelt conversation, they remind us that every believer will face moments of conflict—and that God calls His people to courage, faith, and obedience even when the cost is high. This episode sets the stage for a season that will challenge you to take a stand, trust God in the battle, and remember that no act of faithfulness in the fight goes unseen by the Lord.

As we close this season of Cast Down Your Bucket Where You Are, we look to a woman whose obedience shaped how generations understand missionary history. Have you ever wondered how God might use your heritage, your story, or your place in life—right where you already stand—to make an eternal difference?

In this final episode, Tracie and Abigail share the remarkable life of Geraldine Taylor, daughter-in-law of Hudson Taylor, who cast down her bucket exactly where God placed her. Though she served faithfully on the mission field, her greatest impact came through preserving the stories of those who carried the Gospel into China. Through her writings, Geraldine used her unique heritage and her calling to safeguard and honor these legacies which continue to inspire Christians today. Her life reminds us that the place God gives us—no matter how different than we may have expected—can become the place He uses most.

Have you ever wondered if your small acts of love or faithfulness truly make a difference? When you pour into just one life—perhaps quietly, without recognition—it can be hard to see how God might use it. Yet sometimes, a simple seed of truth planted in one heart can grow into a legacy that changes generations.

In this episode, Tracie and Abigail continue the season theme “Cast Down Your Bucket Where You Are” with the touching story of Maria Mills, a woman whose brief but intentional influence on a lonely young boy left an eternal mark. That boy would grow up to become a man who God used to bring compassion, justice, and reform to thousands. Through heartfelt conversation, Tracie and Abigail remind listeners that no moment of faithfulness is wasted, and that when we love and serve where we are, God can multiply our influence far beyond what we could ever imagine.

What does it look like to stand faithfully beside someone whose calling places them in the spotlight? When God’s plan for your life means serving quietly, supporting steadfastly, and shining with grace in the background, it can be easy to feel unseen or misunderstood. Yet, what if that quiet faithfulness is exactly where God intends to use you most?

In this episode, Tracie and Abigail continue the season theme “Cast Down Your Bucket Where You Are” with a thoughtful look at the life of Sarah Polk, wife of U.S. President James K. Polk. Known for her unwavering femininity, Christian conviction, and loyalty to her husband’s purpose, Sarah’s life reflects the strength of a woman devoted to service over recognition. Through engaging conversation and spiritual reflection, Tracie and Abigail remind listeners that influence doesn’t always come from power—it often flows from faithfulness, grace, and steadfast obedience right where God has placed you.

Have you ever battled deep discouragement and wondered if God could still use your life? When the weight of sorrow feels unbearable and hope seems distant, it can be hard to see how redemption or restoration could ever come. Yet even in seasons of anguish, God is still working through the care of others and the quiet power of His grace.

In this episode, Tracie is joined by Cindy Healy as they continue the season theme “Cast Down Your Bucket Where You Are” with a moving look at the life of William Cowper. Though marked by pain, doubt, and despair, Cowper’s story reveals the incredible redemption God can bring through faithful friendship and compassion—especially through his bond with John Newton. His life proves that no matter the mental struggles—depression, anxiety, or another illness—God can use anyone to do His work. Together, Tracie and Cindy share how God used Cowper’s trials to produce hymns of deep beauty and hope, reminding us that even in our darkest struggles, He can bring restoration and lasting glory to His name.

Have you ever looked back on your past and wondered if God could still bring redemption and restoration after all you’ve done or been through? Maybe your story feels too broken, too messy, or too far gone. What if those very chapters you’d rather forget are the ones God wants to use to display His mercy and grace?

In this episode, Tracie is joined by Cindy Healy as they continue the season theme “Cast Down Your Bucket Where You Are” with a powerful look at the life of John Newton. Once a man steeped in sin and the slave trade, Newton’s story is a breathtaking testimony of redemption and transformation. Through honest conversation and spiritual insight, Tracie and Cindy remind us that no life is beyond God’s reach—and that in His goodness, God not only redeems but restores every life surrendered to Him.

Have you ever felt like your place in God’s work doesn’t fit the mold? Maybe your role looks different from what others expect, or the path you’re walking feels anything but typical. In those moments, it can be tempting to step back or give up—but what if God’s greatest blessings come when you refuse to quit and stay faithful right where He’s placed you, even when it looks unconventional?

In this episode, Tracie and Abigail continue the season theme “Cast Down Your Bucket Where You Are” with a heartfelt interview featuring Lori Finch from Bristoria Baptist Church in Holbrook, Pennsylvania. As a pastor’s daughter whose life has been woven into ministry from childhood, Lori shares how her willingness to serve—no matter the setting or expectation—has brought unexpected joy and fruitfulness. Her story is a reminder that there’s no “cookie-cutter” way to serve God; He simply calls us to be faithful—say "yes" to the opportunity and then don't quit!
