Truth Talks with Tara

We can trust that God, the WayMaker, is always at work creating the life of our dreams, through ways we never would have dreamed for ourselves.What do we do when we experience heartache, grief, suffering, and obstacles in our lives? What if we begin to believe that God is not good or trustworthy because of the waves of life?Ann Voskamp is gracing us with her beautiful presence on the show today to encourage us in this truth: The only way to find a way through the things that are in the way of our lives is to walk with the WayMaker Himself. Tara and Ann discuss how to trust our Abba Father, how to have hope amidst suffering, and walk closely with the Lord when circumstances tempt us to make our own way. CONNECT WITH TARA:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/misstarasun/Website & Blog: https://www.tarasunministries.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TaraSun/The free, email family: https://view.flodesk.com/pages/5f5293472c60490027bc8d16EXTRAS:Shop Tara’s stickers: https://the-tara-sun-shop.myshopify.comShop Tara’s favorite Bibles & journals: https://hosannarevival.com/collections/beautiful-bibles?ref=18Learn about Tara’s Compassion child & get involved: compassion.com/tarasun/Recommended resources for your life and faith: tarasunministries.com/recommended Learn more about your ad choices.

Living out Jesus' commandment and great commission to go and make disciples is sometimes easier said than done. It can be intimidating to share our faith. It can bring about fear of rejection, fear of not "knowing enough", or even fear of not saying the right thing. Jonathan Carswell of 10OfThose is on the show today to share some Biblical insight on sharing the gospel with unbelievers. He's humbly sharing practical advice and Biblically based insight on why we should share the gospel with believers, how to do it without alienating others, how we can prepare and equip ourselves to share our faith, and so much more. Connect with 10OfThose on their:Website: https://us.10ofthose.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/10ofthoseusa/ CONNECT WITH TARA:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/misstarasun/Website & Blog: https://www.tarasunministries.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TaraSun/The free, email family: https://view.flodesk.com/pages/5f5293472c60490027bc8d16EXTRAS:Shop Tara’s stickers: https://the-tara-sun-shop.myshopify.comShop Tara’s favorite Bibles & journals: https://hosannarevival.com/collections/beautiful-bibles?ref=18Learn about Tara’s Compassion child & get involved: compassion.com/tarasun/Recommended resources for your life and faith: tarasunministries.com/recommended Learn more about your ad choices.
