Truth Talks with Tara

You're minding your business, scrolling on Instagram, or shuffling through your text messages, and BAM. Another friend is engaged. Another friend just got married. Someone else got a promotion. Someone else reached x amount of followers on Instagram. You're happy for them, but you wonder, "What about me? Am I behind in life? Should I be where they are?" You're not alone if you've had those thoughts. That's why my friend, Stephanie May Wilson of Girls Night, is joining us on the show today to encourage us in this: You are not behind in life. You can have purpose here and now. God is still good and He has never and will never let you down. He is worthy to be trusted. Sign up for "Love Your Single Life" Course, open for an extra session right now - June 7th through June 9th!

Kristen Wetherell, author of "Humble Moms: How the Work of Christ Sustains the Work of Motherhood", is joining us on the show today and we're all in for a treat. Whether you're a mom or not, this conversation is for you. Are you worn out? Feeling as if you're being pulled in a million places? Weary from serving and pouring out, aching to be poured into for once? Based off her new book, Kristen is sharing encouragement for the weary mom, sister, brother, and friend. Jesus' example of humility in the gospels and Philippians 2 gives us the strength we need to serve, even when we don't feel like it. Kristen also shares how we can rest, prioritize time in God's Word, and put on humble hearts to do what God's placed in our lives. Buy Kristen's book here: https://www.amazon.com/Humble-Moms-Christ-Sustains-Motherhood/dp/1087751012/ref=sr_1_1?crid=7CEKHEG7IQC1&keywords=humble+moms&qid=1653330104&sprefix=humble+mom%2Caps%2C129&sr=8-1Follow Kristen on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristen_wetherell/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.
