Truth Talks with Tara Tara Sun

Honesty hour? I'm tired. Not just physically, but spiritually. And something that has been keeping me tired is the undue pressure and expectation I've been self-imposing. But I'm ready to live freer and lighter - and I can bet you want that life too. In today's episode, let's talk about four things I'm letting go in my day to day life and how I've experienced freedom in the laying down. We're getting honest about our limitations (and how that's a beautiful thing), practicals for putting off pressure, and resting in your identity as a child of God FIRST.

This is the summer of FREEDOM. If you're in, grab Tara's book here.

Who's ready for some serious talk? I'm shedding some light on the past six months and how I've been doing personally and what's been going on in our family - highs, lows, joys, anxieties, and more. My mom gave me one of the greatest pieces of advice about living presently and not worrying about the future, and I wanted to share it with you and how God has been changing my perspective. Tune in for a conversation about how to rely on God's daily bread, the secret to living present, and not letting anxieties about the present or future derail us from what's right in front of us.

You don't have to keep spiraling. Negative thoughts do not have to own you. If you've ever been caught in a trap of toxic thoughts or have ever struggled to dwell and meditate on God's Word with the noise around you, you're going to want to download and listen to this episode ASAP. Vera Schmitz, of Dwell Differently, is on the show to talk about how to do things differently: how to meditate on God's Word, how to memorize Scripture in a way that blesses you (and isn't a chore, it's actually fun and CUTE), and so much more.

No one talks about how hard friendship breakups are. I'm getting vulnerable and real, sharing a friendship breakup story that is still so tender. If you've ever been hurt by a friend, lost a friendship, or don't know why someone cut you out of their life and what to do about it now... this episode is for you. We're getting real about what the Bible says about "moving on" from friendships, what to do if forgiveness is one-sided, and so much more. Most of all, I hope we can all learn how to be a better, biblical friend.

Throwing it back to three years ago on the podcast when I interviewed one of my favorite friends, Gretchen Saffles of Well-Watered Women. If you've ever thought, "What the heck do I do with what I just read in God's Word?" or "I'm always so confused reading Scripture", then this is for you. This throwback conversation has no shortage of practical tools to take you from overwhelmed to overjoyed when reading Scripture, funny anecdotes, and a few cringy moments (I've grown a lot in my podcasting skills over the last three years). Let's be women who root ourselves in truth, grow in grace, and flourish in faith!
