Your Day Brighter®

365 Days of New

Episode Summary

Ever feel like you’re stuck in a rut spiritually, emotionally, physically? This is where I found myself 10 years ago, wrestling with this fear deep inside: the best was behind me. There was nothing new to give, nothing new to tap into. I’d hit a wall at the age of 47. Are you there now? I want to help you get back your sense of newness, and share with you how an experiment – 365 days of new – changed my life and helped me learn what it means to be a "new creation" like the Apostle Paul writes about here in 2 Corinthians 5:17: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" There is so much to discover about you! Welcome to the Your Day Brighter Podcast. Each week, host Tracey Tiernan shares real stories from real people who are making a real positive impact in their communities, giving us real hope in this world.
