Program Alumni Spotlight: Tracey Williams

May 19, 2026 | By |

Sometimes, life’s most painful moments are exactly where we find our true purpose. For SALT Connection alumna Tracey Williams, hitting rock bottom wasn’t the end of her story—it was the beginning of a profound spiritual awakening. In our latest spotlight feature, Tracey shares how a timely knock on her door and a deeply rooted community helped her transform her deepest pain into a powerful passion for helping others.

Why did you join The S.A.L.T. Connection program?

I initially avoided the program because I was intimidated by what it might require from me. I wasn’t for sure if I was ready to be challenged or vulnerable in that way. The Holy Spirit told Charita to come and get me, and I am forever grateful for her obedience. I eventually realized that the very reasons I was resisting were the exact reasons I needed it.

What challenges did our program help you with?

When I started the program, I was in the middle of a life-changing season. It helped me understand why I was going through what I was experiencing at that time and brought clarity, healing and spiritual growth. I was surrounded by a group of women who walked with me through that season, so I never felt like I was going through it alone.

How has our program helped you pour into others?

The program has strengthened my relationship with the Lord, deepening my understanding of his word and equipping me to encourage, support and pray for those around me with greater wisdom and compassion. It has also given me structure and the confidence to challenge myself rather than remain in my comfort zone.                                

What is one main reason you would encourage another woman to join our program? 

I encourage anyone seeking a deeper, more intimate relationship with the Lord to join this program. It provides a supportive environment where you can grow in your faith without having to navigate the journey alone.

When I first walked through the doors of S.A.L.T., I came with a simple but heavy hunger: I wanted to learn how to truly study God’s Word. I didn’t just want to read it; I wanted to understand it. Looking back, I had no idea that this decision would ripple through every corner of my life—from my morning study habits to the way I connect with my grandson.

A New Way of Seeing

S.A.L.T. challenged me almost immediately to move past “surface-level” reading. I stopped skimming and started digging. Suddenly, I was learning Greek keywords to unlock the original depth of a passage. I began asking the hard questions: Who? What? When? Where? How? and Why? By exploring the history and the context of the era, the scriptures stopped feeling like stories from a distant past and started feeling like a living map for my daily life. This shift has completely transformed my habits; I now spend more time in the Word than ever before, and more importantly, I’m focused on applying those truths to my day-to-day walk.

Restoring the Circle

One of the most unexpected blessings has been the restoration of my community. As I grew in Christ, my lifestyle began to change, and I found my old circle of friends diminishing—we simply didn’t have much in common anymore. It was a lonely transition, but S.A.L.T. filled that void with a new group of sisters. These are women I truly enjoy spending time with, both inside and outside of the classroom.

Perhaps the most precious fruit of this growth is happening in my own home. My grandson recently told me he missed the times I used to teach him about Jesus. Hearing that tugged at my heart, and I’m so grateful to say we have started studying together again. I’m passing down the very tools I’ve been given.

Led by the Spirit

I cannot speak about this journey without mentioning my teachers, Charita and Royetta. They are the embodiment of integrity and heart. There were so many moments in class where the planned lesson would shift because God was moving in the room. Watching them yield to the Holy Spirit’s leading was nothing short of amazing, and their confidence in sharing their gifts has rubbed off on me.

Sharing with Boldness

Today, I feel equipped. When friends ask for prayer or have questions about the Gospel, I don’t hesitate. I respond with a boldness I didn’t have before because I know the truth, and I know how to find it in the text. I find myself constantly excited for the next lesson, ready to do another deep dive.

To any woman considering this program: join us. You won’t just be studying scripture; you will be experiencing a move of God. You will watch yourself grow, you will gain a sisterhood, and if you are open to it, you will find yourself completely transformed.

Thank you for letting me be a part of this incredible growth process.

Program Alumni Spotlight: Danica Harris

We’re proud of our program graduates and praise God for their continued growth and mentoring of others to grow their faith and walk in Jesus! For this month, we’re highlighting Danica’s journey to overcoming her lifelong insecurities to becoming a pillar for the organization, a spiritual counselor to mentor others and beyond.

Why did you join The S.A.L.T. Connection program?

I wanted to find an intimate setting to learn how to really read and study the bible with other believers. Charita was the only teacher when I started the nine-month program. I knew she was very intentional and passionate about learning, teaching and applying God’s Word to daily life. When I started the program, I wasn’t an early believer, but I had not fully learned or understood how to build my personal relationship with God.

What challenges did our program help you with?

As a child through my teenage years, I often felt “different.” I mostly grew up in church and always had a strong conviction of what’s right and wrong. Far from perfect, but I wasn’t into many things my peers were into. I’ve often felt like an outsider being viewed by others as being “Ms. Goody Two Shoes”, no fun, etc.

The S.A.L.T. Connection helped me accept my spiritual gifts, understanding that God created each of us for His purpose. Through studying, discussing and discovering I began to comfortably and fully grasp who I am in God’s eyes. 

How has our program helped you pour into others?

Since graduating from the inaugural 2016 class, I’ve volunteered for The SALT Connection in many ways. I currently serve as the treasurer of the board of directors, but have also served as the secretary and president of the board in the past.

I’m on planning committees and teams throughout the organization. I’ve also worked with other women’s groups. My husband and I became certified spiritual counselors and lead the marriage ministry in our previous church. Lastly, we informally but intentionally mentor family members and the community.                                  

What is one main reason you would encourage another woman to join our program? 

The S.A.L.T. Connection transforms lives. It’s building God’s Kingdom, making disciples and creating lifelong memories and friendships.
