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.

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.

Every parent worries about this: How are we supposed to raise godly children in a secular age? Some people even fear having kids in the first place for fear of the cultural pressures and challenges they may face. That's why Melissa Kruger wrote her book, Parenting with Hope. Whether you're a young parent, a parent to teenagers or adults, or in between, this episode is for you. Melissa is the director of content for The Gospel Coalition, author, and writer. Tara and Melissa's conversation is lighthearted with lots of laughs over what it's like raising energetic children, encouraging truth on how we as parents can build a secure foundation in Christ for our families, the power of praying for our children and more.
