About Tracy Boone
Tracy found herself a widow in 2012 with a six year old son. Her husband died of a brain disease that traumatized their home as it was undiagnosed until two weeks before he died. She owned and operated three 40,0000 sq foot gyms. She started a non profit called Elijah’s Path to Healing Foundation in 2016 and along the way she met her fiance’, Bobby Giblaint, and together they are restoring peace back to the lives of so many. In the first chapter of our book we ask you how in the world did we get here? The first thing we do out at the barn with our horses, in our events, in ministry sessions, is establish, strengthen and practice Peace. Out of that comes healing and restoration in every area of our lives. Utilizing our horse Star in the arena is an incredible experience that all can have. We have so many stories of what is possible because with God all things are but how do we do this life with Him.

Introduction
Good, beautiful day, beautiful, beautiful souls! This is Charla Anderson, host of the Charla Anderson Show~Collector & Connector of Fascinating People (& EVERYONE is Fascinating!), especially you.

we’re going to do our 22 second mini vacation, a little breathing exercise to to be still, a no, to calm us and center us and I. And so we’re going to breathe in some calm for 7 seconds. We’re going to hold for 4 seconds, and then we’re going to breathe out gratitude for 11 seconds. So here we go, breathe in some calm. Here we go
Hold Release. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
and everything get thanks. Oh, my goodness! I just love having that time. And I’m so thrilled to have these wonderful folks that are doing so much in our world. Just incredible. Elijah’s path, and and and and working with horses in South Dakota and the cold. We were just talking about how cold it can be in the snowstorm they’re having right now.
My goodness, anyway, who got? I want you to? Guys, you guys, to introduce yourselves and you know who you are in this world, and then we’ll talk about what you guys are up to
All right, all right. Well, do you want me to start? Yeah, go ahead. Okay, ladies. First.st Amen. Well, hey? Hi, everybody! My name is Tracy Boone. I am the founder of Elijah’s path to Healing foundation. I’m a mom, I’m a pastor. I’m a friend, but I’m a speaker, and but most importantly, I’m a lover of Jesus Christ. And I tell you, do you want me to tell you about my story right now, or do you want to wait for that, or just tell who I am right now.
Just who you are right now and then introduce your fiance. Pastor
This is Pastor Bobby Jablant, and we are up here in South Dakota. He’s from Dallas, actually from Dallas, Texas, Texas. You may hear that in that draw I have Amen. So. But no, absolutely. And it’s much easier if you just call me Bobby. I’ve struggled with that last name, you know well, for almost 62 years now, and I don’t know that anyone has ever gotten it right.
But, gosh! Here I am. I was called on assignment up here to South Dakota, and I’m a senior pastor here at sewing to live ministries, and really you know, everything about me is about what sharing the truth of the kingdom.
Amen You know the Scripture is very clear when it says the truth will set you free. Amen. And so really, that’s what this is all about. And you know that 1st part of all of this, at least for myself, is establishing peace and without truth. You’re not going to find yourself living in peace. And so that I guess on a short, short little version of that, that’s me. Amen.
Awesome. You know. I know that you guys have met you come to ministry. You know you’re you’re super powerful powerful couple, doing so much good in our world, and I would love to. You know how I met Tracy, I guess, was through need a guest right? And then you reached out to me. and you have your story. When I started reading about Elijah’s path, you’ve got elijahspath.com
I had tears in my eyes. I was just so touched. So I would love to hear a little bit. So what I want to do is make sure everybody knows that we are not focused on our past, but it brings us to who and where we are, because that leaves us to unlimited possibilities for the future. And I’ll just mention that I do think we have some visitors on today.
I love that If you let us talk a little bit, and if you want to reach in and have questions or prayer requests, feel free. My show is not normally considered a Christian show, but I love love love that we are, and that’s who we serve. So Tracy, tell us, where’d you get to? Where’d you come from? And how’d y’all meet? And who’s Elijah and all that?
Gotcha, hey? So my story is, you know, back in 22 gosh! in 2007, we bought a company, and I owned 3 large gyms with my late husband and you know. about a year into it. Well, not a year or 2. But when we purchased the company, Some things happened on a dime, and I realized that my husband was experiencing something, but I didn’t know what it was till 2 weeks before he died. and you know it went from my best friend living in a house with me and my young son to living with a guy that was really in trouble, but it was really causing havoc on our lives.
So I experienced first hand trauma. So did my son, and so, by the time my husband had passed. We both were having, like trauma and grief, and when you die, when you deal with grief mixed in with trauma, it’s like it’s crashing into each other, and it’s not an easy thing to walk out. And so usually you have to work through trauma, and then you work through grief. It’s not something. You can work together, because it literally is like this. It feels like it’s just crashing in. And so.
you know, I thought the hardest part was over when he passed, but it wasn’t. It was walking this thing out with both my young son, because Elijah was only 6 years old when his Dad passed, and it was really brutal on us. And so, about a few years later. Well, actually, let me just say this at Hospice
they handed me a stack of brochures. and I thought, Wow, this is my life! After he had passed, the counselor had handed me a stack of brochures, and I went. I know we need help. But wow! This is where I’m at. I’ve got a stack of brochures, and this is where I’m heading off, leading my little boy.
In the midst of owning a very busy company. I had a hundred employees, 15,000 members, 3 40,000 square foot gyms, and my best gym. The road was completely closed for 18 months, so it was like more than I could handle, and out of that. in that stack of brochures was a man and a horse.
and I thought, Well, I don’t know if I could see my son and I sitting on a couch talking about all this after we’ve been through. But when I saw the horse something switched off in me, I went, but I can see us outside getting some air, and we love horses, and just let’s go see what this is. And here I am now doing a lot of the same work. But in stuff that the Holy Spirit’s led me in to help people restore them back to call it restoring them back to life after they’ve gone through tragedy.
But not only that, I now have the benefit and the blessing to teach a relationship with Jesus. Right? How do I even have a relationship? How do I have a good relationship with Jesus? And so now we have an actual program now to teach that very thing. Because I’m going to be honest, Charla, that’s the only way I made it. I was basically a walking
shell of a person when all of this happened. And I look back now, going. This is the only way I made it, and you know. So anyway, I now started a foundation in 2016, called Elijah’s Path to Healing Foundation. And all of this was God inspired. I was on the side of a mountain at a horse event, a horsemanship event, and I heard in my heart start a foundation called Elijah’s Path to healing foundation.
And so I did. And honestly, I’ve walked this thing out ever since and met this amazing man. I was traveling the country doing a television show much like this, where my son and I would film words of wisdom for
Elijah’s generation, because those daily life lessons when you lose a dad are missing. And so we would go around the country giving inspiring lessons on camera and literally interview. We’d interview you and say, Charla, what would you want your child to know if you weren’t here to help raise them. What is the life lesson
you would want to teach your kid? It was awesome. And so Bobby was on there several times, and then he started filming with us. And but that’s what we started with. And now we’re here in South Dakota doing this amazing program, doing all these other things that really are causing a great difference in so many people’s lives. And so
but anyway, that’s how I met you. I met him at a pastors conference. And this is how we met. And he’s now has joined us. And we have had. We basically go into an area. Take our horses, and then we wrap the community around. Those folks
That’s beautiful. I want to ask. I just I believe that in your bio, you, your husband, your late husband, had a brain disease of some sort. And so his personality was changing. And that’s why there was so much trauma before the death that you didn’t. But you didn’t know about is that inaccurate
Especially for us as older folks here, you know she’s relayed to me. It was like, if you’ve seen that show the shining with Jack Nicholson, and how you know her husband actually turned in, and she would say, Bobby, it was like the shining. If you’ve ever seen that show, and
you know they literally were living in fear, you know. 24, 7, and not really understanding, I mean, how can my husband? How can this, my son’s father, you know, go into such rage and just, you know, behavior that just had no understanding to it, but was very much. And you want to say it’s evil. But no, it was. It was very much. you know They were in fear of their life in the way that that you know his
Well, it had to felt evil. It wasn’t because it was a disease, or because it was an injury. You know something that he had no control over. You can’t call it, you know. You don’t want to call it evil, but it probably felt like it. And I can. I think that’s really a little tragic or very tragic, and
What it was, what it was. Charla is. It was a brain disease where it was eating out the inside of his brain for decades. It’s called the Decades disease, and it was from a shot for a growth hormone shot because he was a professional athlete.
and so little did he know that shot killed him later, there was no way to detect it. There’s not that many people that had it, and literally, if they showed me the MRI and I had all these really amazing nods from God through this whole thing. He was holding me up through the whole thing
On the MRI the one shot that they got literally in the middle of his brain looked like angel’s wings, but that part that was missing was completely white, and that was the part of the brain of reasoning and understanding. So all of that was gone, and the doctors, a lot of a couple of the doctors literally wiped the slate clean with the charges that I had as far as financial charges because they misdiagnosed, and they really didn’t have a clue. And they were like we just didn’t know Tracy.
And so yeah, it was a really intense, hard thing to go through. So there’s not one story you can come at me with something. I just want your audience to know that if you need help in this area in any way, or if you just need help knowing God your story won’t scare me. There’s not one story that I can’t help you. I promise you
Been there done that and got all the T-shirts. Yeah, yeah.
When I met Tracy, I was like, well, should I, you know, should I share my story with her? Because, oh, my gosh! She’s not gonna believe this story, and then when I started on it, she’s like Bobby. There’s nothing you can tell me now. I will say my story, raising eyebrows a little bit right. Come on. You have to tell
Let’s hear your story, Bobby. Let’s go. Let’s have a let’s have the the races on here
I’m a Texas boy, as you probably can hear, and I will, you know, speak, you know, pretty forthright here, you know, as a youngster 9 years old. I’d given my life to the Lord, and he had called me, and I’ve never met my father, my biological father and my grandfather raised me until I was about 9 years old, and then went to live full time with my mother. And then
What then? Which I didn’t know was my stepfather. I didn’t find that out till I was 29 years old, but at 26 years old, having really all set like this, I was actually the white sheep living in a black sheep family, so to speak. And you know, living in an environment that you know, really really wasn’t the best of environments. And and so by the time I was 26 years old, I’d found myself
really addicted to cocaine and and ended up dying for 6 and a half hours, and the Lord brought me back to life, and, and, to say the least, you know, never been the same since Amen. And and had actually had looked at at being a full time minister back then
and did so from about 1989 to about 1992 somewhere in that area, but was to get married, and the person that I was dating at that time, my fiance at that time, was not going to marry me. If I was going to be a pastor. So listen. I wrote this nice letter to the Lord and said, I’ll be back, and I’ve got these things to do. I even pin pricked my thumb and put a little blood on there and said, Man, I will be back. Amen. And so, 27 years later.
and it’s kind of ironic here in 2015, in January of 2015, you know, the Lord was calling me back, and this is after a very successful career. And actually the Lord had blessed me with building a lighting and Electrical Service company and a distribution business there in the Dallas area. It’s still going on there. At this time I was taking care of about 6,000 financial institutions and all kinds of shopping centers and property management companies, and
Well, I was living the life. Amen, and you know the big pool, the big house, and living in the same neighborhood, actually, for instance, when Jerry Jones, of course, the Dallas cowboys, owners when he built the cowboy stadium I actually was, was very instrumental in selling him most of the lighting products that that went in there through through various companies. And so
you know that type of life, and then taking care of just lots and lots and lots of light bulbs. I’ll say it like that. And but in 2015, you know the Lord, I’d said I’ll be back. And so the Lord in January he’d asked me if I was coming back, and I had things in the way the buts right. But, Lord, you know but this but that, and then in August I was out swimming in my pool. You know the big pool, the big house, the gated house that I had I mean all of that over in Preston Hollow, and so I had just a couple
of butts left, and then the Thanksgiving before or the Sunday before Thanksgiving of 2015, the Lord woke me up very early in the morning. Some things were going on in my household, and I heard him, you know. Are you coming back, Bobby. And so in that moment, in that time I made that decision. And so I did. And there were some things going on. I actually had a now ex-wife who had become addicted to opiates, prescription, opiates, and everything you see on TV and those things that they talk about, that there is, it was truly devastated. My family.
my business, everything that you can imagine. And she actually even ended up shooting herself and not fatally. But I mean it was hell. I’ll just say that I mean, you know. Excuse me if anyone that offend you. But, man, I was living hell on earth. I you know, as a professional race car driver, I was heavy into training with boxing and Ufc. And all that type of stuff, and living the life that every man should live. But I was miserable.
And so a lot a lot went on, and I ended up at 52 years old through, and I’m not going to go through all this, but end up finding myself homeless at 52 years old. and I went and lived with a friend, and spent Almost 5 years in court, going through divorce and all kinds of things of that nature. And so I ended up going back to School Ministry School, and ended up after 3 years serving an internship at the Caris Bible College up in Colorado, actually Woodland Park. But it’s about 30 miles west of
Colorado Springs end up getting my ministry degree, and was actually serving them in one of their departments. And then she said that I met her at a pastor’s conference. I was involved with the same organization.
And I just was like, Wow, I mean, this seems pretty good. And I’ve always been that guy who was a coach of, you know, little league and all that stuff, and you know, preaching at Sunday school and all that. And I’ve always had this desire to be an evangelist, right? And so what I saw her doing, and what I saw her doing, and I was working at various churches and doing those things and traveling. And then I met her, and
oh, my gosh! I saw what she was doing with it, and it’s not just for children. But you know, that was the emphasis at the time. And so it’s really moved a lot into adults. Actually, you know, we carry a lot of trauma around. And so we were, as she said, we were traveling the country doing tent revivals, and
and this place here in South Dakota was one of the areas that we’ve been coming to for 3 years in a row. And then they offered. I was offered an opportunity to be a senior pastor here at this church where we’re at. And so I took it, and so and here we are, and and I would tell you there is not anything else in my life that I would rather be doing at this time, and I will tell you. It’s not been easy, you know. I think a lot of times, you think.
Well, boy, let’s sign up and let’s start serving the Lord. But you know the assignments. And really, if you look through the men and women of the Bible. The assignments aren’t always easy and this not has not been an easy assignment. I will tell you that one now I will. As I’ve told the
Residents of this area, they should be very thankful to this Texas boy, because for 2 winters now we have had, like the absolute, mildest winters, and I told him it was because I brought the heat from Texas with me. Amen, and I’m sharing it with you. Amen. And then, secondly, and I went to visit my daughters back in November. It was really. I go down there.
and it’s colder down there now than it was in South Dakota. They’ve been giving me trouble all this whole season about Dad. We’ve got more snow than you are. You need to come down here and get this and bring it back to where you’re at. So. But that’s a short story, and you know I will tell you my Whole reason for living is to do this is to share the truth of the kingdom, and I think one of the biggest areas that all of us make
is that we find ourselves from the world. And the programming that we receive, so to speak, really, from the day we’re born is that we have ourselves initiated into a lifestyle of living to die, you know. Let’s get everything done. We can, boy. Get retired by 65, and let’s get ready to die. And the truth of the matter, though is, we really should be living through the spirit, sowing to live,
sowing seeds of truth in our life, in the spirit world, and as well as manifesting here in this physical world, in order for us to what? To truly understand, that just because this body is going to perish. We’re not dying. We have another season coming that is before us, another area to move into. And if everyone really understood the truth
of what the kingdom is about. And really the plan that our Father has established for us, we would realize that just because this body is going, it’s going to give out someday. Amen. But we’re not physical beings.
We’re a spiritual being, and see the world wants to teach me and train me in the way that I should go, so I won’t depart from it in the fact that this flesh, this body, should define me. And it doesn’t, it absolutely doesn’t. And when we make that transition man we talk about peace. We talk about freedom.
We talk about life and understanding that when I do leave man, I’m not gone. I’m not done, but I definitely want to make sure that I end up in the right place on the other side. And if everyone really understood the season we’re in, you know. The Lord says that we were what
were born for a time such as this. But there’s more coming. It doesn’t end tomorrow. You know I’ve been blessed a lot of people. You don’t think really you’re blessed. I’ve done a lot of funerals. And you know the Scripture, actually, you know, can send some people off, but it says, you know, cursed is the day a man is born for a woman but blesses the day,
basically that he goes home. Amen, that he goes home to the kingdom. And that’s what we’re here about, not only when we’re working in the trauma and grief recovery, but establishing the truth of the kingdom in all of our lives. And if you really had the truth.
you would not fear, you know fear happens because I’m the unknown, and then doubt happens, and then, you know, men and women especially, who have received Christ. Amen received, that are wondering, why aren’t these blessings happening for me? And I’m gonna put this on men, you know, we a lot of times want to assemble projects without reading the directions right?
And if we’re not reading the directions, you end up well, you know. Oh, what’s this part for? Oh, they must have put it in there by accident, and then you go to use it, and it’s, you know, crashes, or or the Christmas night, you know. You spend all night putting it all together, and you got extra pieces, and you’re like, Oh, no! Oh, me! You know so! But if we have the proper instruction.
and translating that into this. If we have the truth, the truth will set you free, and I want to. You know I thank the Lord, I mean it was a it was a long 5 years a lot of I mean, you know people. If I told the story here, they say, well, that guy’s really off his rocker, but you know, they say, and I tell the story, and they say, Well, didn’t you have any lawyers? And I say, Well, yeah, we had 9 lawyers, and so, you know, kind of, you know. But anyway, but I
Just just to complicate the matter
But
So amazing stuff going, you know. So you guys are like, overcomers, overcomers right overcome you. You’ve been there done that like both altogether is like the drugs. And oh, my goodness! All the crazy stuff! I do know that there’s some people off camera that are on that are in the audience. And anybody that wants to, you know, come on camera or type things in the chat, although I may not be able to see it. I’d rather you speak it
My eye on it. I’ll keep my eye
Okay. I think I’d rather you know, people come on camera and speak if they have something they want to talk to you about. But this is you guys got. You’ve got a 12 week book program and you do events. Do you travel? There’s so much. But I want to know. How’s Elijah now? Can we go back to that
Elijah’s doing amazing. Elijah is almost 19. He’s 19 years old. He’s had a year of Bible college. He graduated high school and a year of Bible College. He’s currently working for a place called Kibble. He’s a John Deere kind of guy. So when I say he, he’s driving 1 million dollar tractors. And so, if you know, my son, one of his favorite shows that we filmed was about harvest.
He was literally at 14 doing harvest, and so now. He is literally here, working for John Deere in a job and learning the workforce right now, and he’s an entrepreneur at heart. 100. But he’s out there learning how to be a man and how to keep down a job, and how to work with other individuals. And
He’s been blessed with an amazing job, and they pay him extremely well, and he’s learning a lot. But he’s doing really well. He helps us here at the ministry. He’s going to have a nerf gun war with some kids here real soon, and we have some fatherless kids here that we are helping, and we bring them all through the program, and but the program is literally called Angels in the arena
and the tagline is mastering your belief system by living daily in peace. And you know, when I’ve been in probably development my whole life. But I would say over the last 3 years I’ve been in development, and we have now just published this and this is out. And this isn’t just a book. Charla. This is an experience. Literally, this book. This book is the book part is only this much the doer part is this much, and we teach people how to literally do life with God.
And the name of the book again
“Angels in the Arena – Mastering Your Belief System by Living Daily in Peace”
Called angels in the arena. mastering your belief system by living daily in peace. It’s out on Amazon, available anywhere. You can get it in like 2 days. Just order it. And in the book you can go to our website, get signed up for sessions because you can actually do sessions with my team and myself in the arena, from anywhere around the world. It’s amazing
And with your horse. Your horse is named Star. Beautiful, beautiful horse! I’ve seen pictures of so and and stars, the star of the of the arena
And start And he really is, you’d be amazed. I mean, we used to think that the way he was interacting with the camera was like by accident, but he is a big ham. I’m just saying he’s that big dog that you definitely don’t want sitting in your lap. But I mean he truly. Is he true? Well, like you said he’s the star of the show. Well, he’s on the cover. So that’s Star.
Hello.
Pasture. For the 1st time when he got here. So we’ll be adding additional horses. We actually his his pasture mate. We actually had to put her down a while back. She was an older horse and she ended up breaking her leg in the pasture area. And I mean she was so sweet, too. I mean, she’s 95. Her name actually meant Heaven’s peace. But a big part of this book, and the journey that we were on the book was that, and the project was done before all that happened. So there’s actually a thing that we honor her in in the actual text. But you know,
The main thing, Charla, is when I meet with people. When we meet with people. the 1st thing out in the arena is we restore peace. and that is the 1st thing. Because I know, I thought well, what is the most important one of the most important life lessons we’ve ever learned, and it’s teaching people how to stay in peace in their lives, how to teach their kids that how to. Because, see, you can’t hear the voice of God. If you’re if you’re on the hamster wheel all the time, and all you can think about is, oh, this stuff right? What do you do?
That voice never shuts up. And that’s why, you know, just even that little 22 second breathing exercise, just breathing in calm breathing in the peace. And so, yeah, I believe it is a huge missing piece in our world. We’re all so busy being entertained or you know that we don’t have take time to actually even have fun, too. Right? So all of that
Like to give a good analogy of this, especially being down in the Texas area. And and you know, the coast being down in the Houston area. You know the eye of the storm. you know, when you look on TV, and you see the hurricane going and the winds are blowing all around. But there is actually the eye of the storm, which is an area of calmness.
And I mean you could be in there, you know, getting a Suntan fishing, doing whatever you want, and the waters are still, you know, and it’s calm in there. And so as that eye moves the peace in it. The calmness in it never changes, even though the storms are raging around it, and when we, as individuals, can find ourselves in that place of peace, that place of calmness.
You know, when the storm is coming at us, then we absolutely can navigate it much better than if we jump off into the storm and carry that storm around with us, and in our mind, so to speak. As you just said. You know our thoughts are just running amok, and I don’t know what I’m gonna do. So instead of getting that life preserver, or that life rope and being pulled back into peace. we’re out in the storm fighting the waves, and we never can really navigate to where we really should be going, because the storm is blowing us here to there, and wherever you know. And so, you know, that’s the part of being in peace, and I can tell you
you know, having met Tracy and relying on the word mostly in my life over those years, you know. Once I really understood peace. Oh, my gosh! You know I don’t let those thoughts that are going to carry me off down the road somewhere. I shouldn’t be now. I’m waiting on the Lord. I’m waiting to hear that small, still voice that it says that calm voice, I should say
Piece that passes understanding is a thing, it really is a thing right? So I mean, we can. We can live in it and walk in it on a daily basis. We don’t have to. We can just receive, just be. Don’t have to strive. We get, you know, when we live in those. That though that piece that passes understanding the piece be still the the
Oh, Amen! But you know Charla, so many people don’t know. Well, they’re like, well, that’s great and all. But how do I do it. Well, that’s what we teach, you know. So like the first, st there’s 12 sessions right? And through my own journey, knowing that I had a place to go once a week to catch my breath and say, Okay, I’m going to learn a tool to keep going.
And so I’ve incorporated that. I used to do just one session with people, but it didn’t really bring a foundation that actually brought forth. I mean, they’d have an amazing experience in the arena. But as far as long term growth and foundational support. we needed more. And so the Lord led me to do 12 sessions. And so in this book.
literally, I walk you through, or we walk you through, establishing, strengthening, and then practicing peace. That’s the 1st 3 chapters, and we really work on that. And if someone needs to work a little longer on it, we’ll stay with them right? Because everybody’s an individual. I’ve got people that have worked with me for a couple of years, and they’re still doing it, and not because
they’re not getting. It’s because they’re growing like crazy. And they want to keep going and see what God has for them. Right? So I’d like to enter, you know. And also. you know, the world is out there.You know there’s an enemy out there that a lot of times, you know you say this, and it’s cliche, but you know there is an enemy out there that is here to do what steal, kill, and destroy us, you know, and he’s roaming around like a roaring lion. It says, to devour those who are unsuspecting.
And so there are things that come about, you know. Even Jesus tells His disciples. You know that trials and tribulations are going to come, the unrighteous and the righteous. We all face difficulties in life, I mean even Tracy in her situation, I mean she had no idea she’s married her love of her life, and you know she’s got a child and man. Life is going good, and they have, you know, their gyms. And you know he’s a big bodybuilder, big old guy, so good thing, you know
he’s not around. He might have to put a whooping on me for taking you. But anyway, long story made short is, and I lost my train of thought there, but I got off a little bit, but living in a peace, you know, has and it’s it’s
It’s an exercise. I mean, it is a practice. It is a you know. It’s not a it’s not a it’s permanent. You can get it to where it’s permanent, but it doesn’t mean it’s constant. So I had a split second moment of transformation from bitterness to joy, and then I find out my name means that, but means joy. But I really, you know, you can shift.
But I recognize that that joy is constant, I mean is permanent. Many, many years later, since 2007. It just isn’t necessarily constant. There are moments, but the moments are shorter as we get more practiced right at learning.
You know, when you’re tracking that storm that hurricane, you know, watching on the weather channel right? And you see it tracking that I always stays consistent. And then, as as and I’m gonna just use the Lord. And as the Lord brings us to what that greener pasture and just say like it, that that storm leaves the Gulf of America now and gets it onto and and hits the land. What happens? The storm itself
begins to dissipate, begins to weaken, and so but that eye pretty much stays consistent all the way through, even over the land. And again we would be the same way that storm is going to dissipate that we were in today. There may be a new one come about down the road, but as long as we stay in peace we’ll develop a
I’m gonna say, A, you know life support system that I know the Lord is going to deliver me from this. I know that my life skills that I have, you know, have been introduced to and developed. And, as Tracy said, you know, 1st thing for all of us. You got to establish it.
You need to strengthen it, and then you need to practice it if you establish it. But don’t use it. What good is that if you establish it and don’t really have a full understanding of it, how well does that work? And then, once you have those 2 things, and then you strengthened in it. Then you practice in it. Oh, my gosh! I mean your life changed, and again the storms come. But I’m not reacting the same way, I understand.
And I’ll just use our homes. For instance, I know that I use Texas, the Dallas area Fort Worth area when thunderstorms come, man, there’s a lot of power in those storms, but I know that sitting in my house I am covered. I am protected. and when I can live and operate through peace and truth. Man, I’m protected when the storms come
I love that so much. Go ahead. Do you want to finish that thought because I wanna
I mean, but I have learned that no matter how big or bad the storm is, that in my new awareness of what God has equipped me. With that I can stand through the test of fire. Amen! And stand until the storm moves and move into that next greener pasture, so to speak. And again, when it rains, especially through the right time. And what happens to the grass? Boom, man, and we’re having that situation here, even though it’s snowing outside. We’re actually seeing the grass begin to do what turn green seems a little weird here with snow on it, but but it needs
It like that’s it’s used to it. By the way, if it’s been, you know that that land. But so what you talk about with this shield of protection. So I think gratitude is the key literally, gratitude is the key to a satisfied life.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I woke up. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I walk in. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for the 10,000 angels protecting my home,
my car as I’m driving Psalm 91 God’s umbrella of protection completely covering us when we I mean, I put it around all the corners of my house and I rebuke storms. Jesus said, we can do what He did, and even more, that’s a lot. And in John 1412, so why don’t we? Why weren’t we taught that 1st of all? But
I walk in this gratitude, I walk in thankfulness, and it gives the calm in the storm in my own world. Just because I don’t have, I don’t I? I said. In 2013 I said, I’m giving up any attachment to drama. Okay? Then I attracted somebody. That was a drama magnet, but that, you know. So I got to practice
That’s usually how it works.
But yeah, so you know I don’t have to. I don’t have to know. I don’t have to. DI just get to bend, walk in that peace that passes understanding and and just walk and not, and a lot of things. I you know, no media in my, I just don’t take it. I don’t. I don’t allow the negative to penetrate my piece
So a couple of things I just want to share with you, Charla. It’s really important, you know. The word says that Jesus is the word. And so there’s a really amazing book called the Vines Study, or Vine’s Dictionary, and it literally defines the words, the original root words of the Bible, because
If Jesus is the word, then we want to know what those things mean. And the word peace literally means a harmonized relationship between God and man accomplished through the Gospels. Think about that. So it’s living in that daily relationship with him. Right? And I actually have a really cool story. If you don’t mind me telling it, it will explain this, and it’s really awesome. But there’s a lady named Lisa.
and she lets me tell this story so it’s not a problem. But she came to the arena one day when I met her. She was on the campaign trail with her husband, and they were literally running for Governor of Colorado. Can you imagine the turmoil in that? So they were running when I met them.
and when I met them they were on the campaign trail, and she came to this event, and she, her friend, that put the event on, told her what I do, and she had just had her 22 year old nephew murdered in Denver while she was on the campaign trail. So she was a hurting unit, right?
And so she says, can you help me? So I went to the arena that next day with her, and I met with her, and it was really interesting, because the minute we hit the arena she entered into the arena, and horses are not
predators by any means. They are not. But the minute she walked into that arena and I’ve worked with everybody’s horses for years all over the country. I’ve gone to their arenas. I’ve had stallions come, and people tell me I can’t use their stallion for this work, and I walk into the arena, and within a few seconds they’re laying on the ground in peace because I know how to work in that right?
And so, anyway, she comes into the arena, and this horse literally starts pecking at her like it was like noticeable, that’s all I’m going to say to you right, and it’s spirit led living. So I’m out in the arena, and I’m waiting for the Holy Spirit to give me instruction in what I do. Okay? And so when she came into the arena, the horse was literally like this all over her, and I said, Oh, let’s just why don’t you go for a walk real quick? Let’s all get the jitters out and let me just see what this is.
She gets 3 quarters of away the way around the arena, and the horse literally kind of nips her on her shoulder. That doesn’t happen, and I’m sitting here, and all great. The lady that’s running for Governor. Her and her husband is out here, and I’m helping her. And he nipped her and I and she looked at me, and she goes. But wait! No, no, no, this is my life.
and I will wait. What’s this? And she says it always feels like Satan’s on my back. And I went. Whoa! That’s something. And in the past I had taught people how to do spiritual warfare and things like that just because of where I’ve been. I’ve had to do a lot of different things because of the obstacles I’ve been through. Okay. But that wasn’t this that day. So by the time she got to the center of the arena.
I was just like the Holy Spirit. What do you want me to do in this? Because this is very odd, and it was heightening, and I was getting actually uncomfortable about it. I never was scared. I won’t do that. I refuse to get scared in the arena, no matter what’s happening. Okay? And so
I just felt in my heart, he said, the Holy Spirit just said, Tell her to say goodness and mercy shall follow her all the days of her life and you know what happened. The second she spoke that out of her mouth that horse turned on a dime, and ran in a full gallop as far away from her as she as it could, and it went over to the corner, and it stood there like this.
panting, and I went. Oh, my gosh, Lisa, do you know what that is that? Submit to God? Resist the devil, and he shall flee? See the power of God’s Word, if it’s believed in our hearts and spoken with our mouth, has the ability to save our life
from death. Okay, so it’s got power and authority behind it. We just need to know how to use it. And you know, Pastor Bobby has this amazing, this amazing message called sowing to live, and he really educates people, and so do we through this book on how to take the Word of God, and what it was always intended to do so. We can have victory in our lives because Jesus says I didn’t come to bring peace.
I did leave it for you because He said, peace I leave with you, not the kind of peace the world gives, but my peace. And he was talking about his harmonized relationship that’s restored. And then he says, do not let your heart be troubled or afraid. Well, the way he says that that says that there’s a choice.
But how do you do that? And so people need to be taught how to do that, and it is achievable completely. And so that day I’ll never forget it. And she never forgot it. They just finished a term in Congress, so they’re in very heightened situations, and we still to this day goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our life, and I want your listeners to think about that. If you just speak that that’s in Psalm 23. The Lord is our shepherd I shall not want. It’s in that psalm.
and if you speak that goodness and mercy, I want you to picture everything that could harm you is moving away from you right now, because the power of God is operating and moving in your life, that second, that you speak it. And it’s such a powerful testimony of what’s possible if you learn like Bobby was saying, the instruction and you know the Bible is the instruction manual. Of how do we live this life successfully?
And so by coming out and meeting with us every week, you can learn these skills in an experience. So you have an experience once a week, and you learn the material that’s in the manual to help aid you in the Bible, so you can have victory in your life. And that true harmonized relationship between you and God, which there is nothing like it being in the presence of Him and living in that you know what I mean, because out of all of that
comes peace, healing, joy, patience, all of it. Everything comes from there, and that’s how I made it. And now I’m just teaching them how to do it. You know.
That is such an incredible story, too, because I know who I what you say, you know the words I am is God in you right that you’re speaking God’s name when you say I am so, when I talk about every word matters, you must speak truth. You must speak what you desire, and he’ll give you the desires of your heart right? And but we curse ourselves so often. This job is killing, you know we we don’t speak
is truth over our life on a daily basis, and who I say I am is bold. Faith, no fear, who I am is bold. Faith, no fear. I’ve said it for so many years that I
That’s who I am. You get a gun at your head. Then you step towards a gun, and you say you need love, and they run because you’re just projecting the love and the protection, the shield of protection. And so you speak. Who you are, who you want, who you desire to be. It’s so critical. I think we we minimize so often our words
When Moses asked God, when he’s up on my, you know, up on the mount, with the mountain with him. And so what is God telling I am the I am? And so you know, if we’ll put that into our vocabulary, I am well, and I like to say this, and you know, membership here in Congression and those things is.
I am well and resisting all illness. See, I’m not sick of trying to get better, because that’s a weakness. but I am well. Is strength resisting all illness, and how we say things. You know what we think a man is, or a woman a man is as he thinketh right. but our mouth dictates what we’re going to live in in the future. Amen. And so again back to sowing to live.
I want to sow seeds of life out of my mouth. And if everyone could picture this, it’s like, you know, a garden, and I’m going to plant seed. And you know birds fly over and drop seeds that really shouldn’t be in there or the enemy does. But if I’m planting enough quality seeds of life. It’s going to choke out the weeds of death. Amen! The weeds that have nothing to do with me.
And yet the enemy is going to come against you, so to speak, and try to put weeds in your garden, I mean, I’m sure, right now in the Dallas area there’s weeds coming up. What is it? The Dallisgrass, and all the other things that are beginning to merge? But the truth of the matter is, the good grass will eventually do what choke all of that out Amen. And so, you know again, a man is as he thinketh. but our future, our daily life, is dictated by what I’m speaking out of my mouth. Amen. Life and death
Every word matters, every word matters, and and our our society is so flippant they’re so flippant about what you know, what they’re calling on themselves right, so many of us, so
And I also think the Word of God has become diluted, so to speak. Because, see, we’re operating in a you know, and I’ll say it like this, a clockwise world, when really, if you look through the kingdom and what’s in the Bible there, it’s actually counterclockwise to what really the world has taught us, and so, when things aren’t working
Well, God must not be. You know who He was, you know God must not be alive still, you know. But no, the real truth is, we’re not following the instructions, and we don’t even know the truth. But see, the truth will set you free, the instruction of truth will set you free, and if you know what the word says. then Amen. You’ll be able to walk in truth. And again truth will set you free. Amen. Not
And even that verse. You know, people think I’m not arrogant. It’s authority that Jesus gave us when we speak what we speak over the weather, or we speak over the health, or we speak over. It’s authority that we’ve been given. And you know, who do you think you are, you know, think you
Who is this?
You know, raise the dead well.
Amen. So here’s a story
But we weren’t
We were in Belize a couple of years ago.
and we were doing the work that we do, doing the work that we do, and we were on this Peninsula area, and we were in a village very rough village, to say the least. There are about 600 people there, and I mean they live in. I hate to describe it this way, but shacks, if that even and so Hurricane was coming, and it was.
you know, scheduled, so to speak, or projected, that it was going to come right into our area. And so we knew that I’m gonna call them the mayor. They’re kind of a tribal area. But the mayor, and so we’re working with them. And we’re going to be able to help. And all this I want you to know that of all of Belize this was the only area that was not affected
by the hurricane, and if the way and if the what I call that the tide surge. Whatever would have come in it would have wiped out this entire. I mean, you know, if you look at it this wide right and the intercoastal bays on the inside. And the ocean is on this side. And I mean, literally, there’s a hundred yards separating it. And this, and that’s where all this is built. If that tidal surge would have come in, it would have wiped out the entire deal.
They evacuated about 50% of the people there, which about 600. So about 300. Do you want to know? We were the only area in all of Belize that was not affected, and it took the 300 that they evacuated over 2 weeks to get back to this village, because all the roads around it had been just destroyed, and Tracy and I actually went out on this little area peninsula, and we could see out into the air. And of course we were praying about all this we could. We could see where the winds and the rain, and the waves and all that, but it was like there was a force field held up, and the viewers or listeners can think I am a nut. But this is honest to God, truth, and the Mayor person
that we knew who and I was all excited about. I was going to get in the boat with them and go, you know, rescue people and all that kind of good stuff, and I end up going to bed early the day of the hurricane because I was. I was actually devastated that I wasn’t going to get to go be a hero right? And then he comes in at about 9 30 that night, and we were both pouting because we didn’t get to do anything but that, only that one area.
And I mean you could. You could. You could look this up, you know, in, I guess, some historical records, or whatever of the weather and what happened there?Nothing. We barely even got any rain. It was crazy
So I can honestly so when I rarely say honestly, because it’s redundant, I mean, I call so the Psalms 91 God’s umbrella protection and be able to do what Jesus did, and even more, they actually literally at one time for a couple of years, when I was working and volunteering down for the Main Street Arts festival. They called me the Weather Guru, you know, because I was like.
you know and it’s nothing but thank you that you shield a protection around our city, I mean, I don’t have any power or control over it other than I get to speak. My desire lay it at his feet and expect. This is the 3rd time today that the word expectancy has come up. We expect it to already be on its way that what we desire, what we ask lay it at his feet and expect it to come.
It does, and then and there’s a little I should have it. I’ve got it right in my bookcase, but a little book called Pay by Peggy Joyce. Ruth called Psalm 91 God’s Umbrella Protection, and she tells stories about over and over and over, that that people that speak that over themselves or or carry, you know the the
the bullet in World War 2 stopped right on that verse in the Bible, that chapter in the Bible, and saved the lives in their story after story, but one of them is the hurricanes coming, and you’ve probably seen years and years ago there was one beach house that was standing in all the devastation on the Gulf Coast years ago they were. They were not there, but they were praying Psalm 91 shield of protection over their
and I go outside and repeat it over and over when I hear the sirens, the tornadoes, or whatever you know. So we have authority
Hey! Man!
If we have our, if we walk in the faith.
and the truth of the truth will set us free, and the truth is, desire means of the father of the giver. You speak what you desire, not what you want, because want means lack, but you speak what you desire which is of the father. Relax, release, let it lay it at his feet, expect it to show up, and it’s a you can walk in the peace, and I can. I’ve witnessed it so many times, you know, on my own, you know, even healing and things like that.
So you know, we’re on to something, and it’s been lost. I believe that there are powers that be in our religious world. You talked about religion, and and you know, and our religious world, which in religion, you know, is not of, not of God. You know religion is man made
Relationship. It’s relationship
You miss out on relationships. If you’re so focused on the god in a box, religion and God doesn’t have a box
Amen. And you know about speaking about Psalm 91. I just want to tell you this. About 5 years ago the Lord asked me to start a prayer team, and you’ll see a bunch of people. Some of the people on here are from our prayer team.
and the one thing that he’s told me, no matter what you have them speak, and they meet every day, Monday, through Friday, for 2 h to pray over the country, and whatever else that we have in store for 2 HA day. I’ve got women across the country and men getting on this zoom call
Monday through Friday, and they speak psalm 91 over our partners, and the families that we serve in this country, and that we don’t miss, and on the weekends we’re always connected, and they speak it over through our feed, our text feed, and it has been so powerful
to watch how God just runs anything you establish with him. He runs anything you establish on your own, you get a run. So he had me establish this and this thing just runs. And these people. They’re called to it. And wow, the stuff that every day is amazing. It’s
it’s like, Wow, you know. And again one thing, I think a lot of people they get on chasing for miracles. But you know miracles don’t follow men and women. They follow the Word of God
where you speak the word of God and something, and and just real quick, and then turn back over to you. Tracy. Well, go ahead. Well, I just wanted to finish the part about the prayer team. You can go to AngelsInTheArena.com, and there’s a little contact button on there, or it’s even got a button that says, send a prayer request, and you literally, if your listeners need anything, prayed their business, their family, anything that’s going on. You can click on that at AngelsInTheArena.com click on that button
type in your prayer request, and it literally comes to my phone like that. Second, I get it involved. I immediately send it to the prayer team, and they are on it. and we’ll follow up with you and make sure that you have what you need in a strategic battle plan which we also teach. But there’s so much. But we’re available to help, and it doesn’t matter who you are.
We would absolutely love the opportunity, and she says, 2 h in the morning. But literally, these women and men, they’re connected all day 24/7, I mean, connected all day through a prayer through a text feed. You know one of the things that I think very important, that we all hear this.
you know, when Jesus is right before his ascension He says, I have to go basically to heaven to prepare a way for you, but I am going to send you the comforter. And in these words, which would be the Holy Spirit, which would be the power and authority of the Father Himself, the very power and authority that Christ walked on this earth, and enabled him to do what he did with the miracles, signs, wonders, and miracles.
But he says something that that I really like, just like mothers and fathers, or at least I hope this, that you want your children to do even greater things than you right, and he says I am going to send this comforter. I am going to send the batteries to empower you. I like to say it like that, so that you can do even greater things than me. Amen. And so that’s really what I had to say on that. And
again, if anyone on here, or those that we may not be able to see if there’s any prayers. You need anything that we can come into agreement with you and speak the word over you. We’d love to do that again. I would tell you that you know the angels in the arena book. you know it’s all encompassing, so to speak. It’s the story.
But, as Tracy said, You know, faith without works is dead and works without faith is the same dead. But that book will tell the story. It’ll lay that foundation for you. It has all of the the
I’m gonna say workbooks with it. But then you also can take that one book, and then, as a father, I’m going to say and use it. To what implement this to teach your family in the way they should go, so they won’t depart from it, and you can get each of them the actual workbook part of it so that they can have their own journal. I’m going to, really, basically, it’s more of a journal than anything, and they can work through this thing individually, but also do it as a family
by getting the full. I’ll say the full meal deal. We’re doing groups. Yeah, we’re doing groups that are teaching this right now. The dads come. And then the moms come. And then the kids come, and the whole family, because you treat the whole family right. And the whole family is getting on track. And it’s just really, and actually, our kids, I think, like it better than they are doing. So amazing. It’s awesome
I am. So that is an amazing program. It sounds awesome. And I’m you know the time is up, and it always goes so fast. So I love love, love, your mission, your vision, you know what’s going on. And a lot of times I’m like, oh, just another miracle, because I’m a, you know. Somebody said, I’m a clearing for miracles. And it’s like, Yeah, you know, it’s not about me, but it’s like they when you are a receiver, a blast, believe, receive you, you! They, you know, things are showing up all the time.
And you guys have something really special. And I’m really excited the horse thing. I believe I went to a horse workshop. Arena thing in the you just learned thelet the horse let your the be the authority over the horse in a way, and I learned so much it was like. so that’s at a beautiful
Writing, so you know it is fellowship in the arena. So if anybody’s nervous about writing, this is a
Yeah. No. Then mine wasn’t writing, either. We were just getting yeah. It wasn’t writing. It was. It was
Oh, yeah.
Treating.
Thank you, Charla. I mean it’s been been a very, very honor for us to be here with you, and and blessing
Thank you so very much, and maybe we’ll do it again. My platform is changing, and that’s okay. All’s well. The only thing constant is change right? And so. But it’s time I’m gonna have to shut the recording. And I love you guys so very much. Charla Anderson every week on Wednesdays, and we’ll see you next week,
And to remember always. Always choose joy

About Tracy & Bobby
Tracy found herself a widow in 2012 with a six year old son. Her husband died of a brain disease that traumatized their home as it was undiagnosed until two weeks before he died. She owned and operated three 40,0000 sq foot gyms. She started a non profit called Elijah’s Path to Healing Foundation in 2016 and along the way she met her fiance’, Bobby Giblaint, and together they are restoring peace back to the lives of so many. In the first chapter of our book we ask you how in the world did we get here? The first thing we do out at the barn with our horses, in our events, in ministry sessions, is establish, strengthen and practice Peace. Out of that comes healing and restoration in every area of our lives. Utilizing our horse Star in the arena is an incredible experience that all can have. We have so many stories of what is possible because with God all things are but how do we do this life with Him.
