Whether you're a self-proclaimed morning person or not, don't shy away from this episode! Tara sat down with her friend and best-selling author, Jennifer Dukes Lee, once again and it was powerful. After studying every single morning referenced in Scripture (you heard that right!), Jennifer was compelled to write about the spirituality, intentionality, and importance of mornings. In our conversation today, Jennifer shares her own experience, why mornings are good for the soul, how to implement rhythms of grace with God, and enjoy Him even more. No matter what your morning routine looks like, God's mercies are new. Enjoy the listen, friend. Watch Truth Talks with Tara on YouTube here!

My friend, Lauren Groves, is on the podcast today and she's not only an intentional wife and mother, but she's also an author of a beautiful kids book series entitled, "Toddler Theology." I instantly thought about her when thinking about this parenting series because she is truly gifted in helping parents teach simple, yet powerful truths about the gospel in such an easy way through catechisms. In this episode, we talk about how the mundane things in motherhood and discipleship matter and how to take the pressure off of "saving" your children, and instead, do what we can and let God do the rest (or rather, the MOST).

It's week two of our parenting series and I couldn't think of a more INCREDIBLE way to keep the fun going than to have David Thomas and Sissy Goff on the show! They are some of my all-time favorite authors on parenting, and we're diving into the topic of raising capable kids in a world full of worry and anxiety. We look to the questions we as parents often have, such as, "How do I prepare my child for the world?" and "Is there such thing as a balance between 'gentle' and 'hard' parenting?" David and Sissy are such a wealth of wisdom and we look to what God says about raising strong, capable, and healthy children in every single way. You won't want to miss this one!

In this episode of Truth Talks, Tara is sitting down with her sweet friend, Christian Bevere to talk all about praying for your future husband. Together, they bring a compassionate and faith-filled conversation about what it's like to wait and long for a husband. How do we keep the faith in our relationship status when we're discouraged?

Praying you walk away from this feeling emboldened and excited in following God as He unfolds your love story. Watch Truth Talks with Tara on YouTube here!

What do you do when life feels like it's unraveling? We've heard it said before: "God will use this for your good and His glory." But what if your season is filled with suffering, grief, and it feels like it'll never end? Well, my friend Kirby Kelly just released her newest book, "The Fabric of Hope" and it's all about this. Her testimony is raw, powerful, and honest -- and it all points to a God who restores. Kirby is passionate about the Bible and walks us through how to process our grief, trust God to bring purpose to our pain, and so much more. Watch Truth Talks with Tara on YouTube here!
