Truth Talks with Tara Tara Sun

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!

We all want to be happy and healthy, right? But how do we find our way there when the world tells us one thing, and God tells us another? Jeanine Amapola, author and podcaster, is with me today to remind you that you're not alone in your sin cycles, addictions, or shame. We're here to tell you that the happy and healthy life you long for is found in Christ. The meaningful relationships and friendships and careers and ministries you long for are found in Christ. Jeanine lived enslaved by alcohol and toxic relationships until she found that God's Word actually has freedom and advice for everything in life. Tune in for a bold and to-the-point episode about how to get unstuck, how knowing Jesus changes everything (and I mean everything), meaningful friendships that last and more.

Check out "Happy and Healthy."

Who else feels disappointed in their "right now" season? Our daily grind, our relationships, our progress (or lack thereof)... the list goes on. We'd rather be "there" - on the other side of God's promises - rather than here, waiting for the life we long for. Ruth Chou Simons knows all about that and she's here to tell us to lean in to the "not yet" seasons of our lives to see the fruit of the "now", even if we don't like where we are, God is using this in-between time for His good purposes. Tara is inviting Ruth back on the podcast for the third time to talk about how to remain present with God when we want to numb out, faithfully stewarding the desert seasons, and so much more.
