    Finding Balance with Tara Venable

    In this episode, we welcome special guest Tara Venable! Tara is a pediatrician, pastor's wife, and mother of four. Join us today as she shares her journey of balancing multiple roles while maintaining her faith at the center of everything. Episode Highlights: Meet Tara: Wife to Pastor John Venable of New Life Baptist Church, mother to four children (ages 3-12), and a pediatrician working in the NICU at UAMS and Arkansas Children's Hospital. Navigating Different Life Seasons: Tara discusses the challenges of parenting across different ages—from toddler tantrums to pre-teen emotions—and how she approaches each stage with intention. Authentic Spiritual Rhythms: Unlike the "perfect morning routine" many aspire to, Tara embraces her night-owl tendencies, spending time with the Lord in late evening hours and holding her schedule loosely to follow God's daily leading. Family Discipleship Made Simple: Tara shares how she and her husband teach biblical priorities to their children through everyday conversations, prayer, and modeling a life centered on loving God and loving others. Church as Family: Tara emphasizes the importance of finding community within the church and encourages listeners to "keep seeing people"—especially newcomers who might feel invisible. This encouraging conversation reminds listeners that serving God happens in all areas of life—whether at work, church, or home—and that faithfully showing up each day with trust in Christ is what matters most.
