Truth Talks with Tara

Have you ever thought that theology is just for pastors, teachers and your favorite Instagram influencers? Think again! Amy Gannett, Bible teacher and newly published author, is joining us on the show today to talk about how we can ALL be theologians - knowing who God is, the doctrines of His Word and how to understand the Word. Her book, "Fix Your Eyes" is all about how our study and knowledge of God influences the way we daily worship Him and live for Him. This rich and encouraging conversation will leave you excited about studying God's Word, as well as tools to practically do so. Purchase "Fix Your Eyes" here: https://amygannett.com/fix-your-eyes-2/ Follow Amy on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amycategannett/ 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.

Ruth Chou Simons, author and artist, is here to help us stop the endless cycle of striving and live in the light of God's grace. Our world is brainwashed by the idea that we have to "do, do, do" to find our identity. To run ourselves ragged by achieving all of the awards or finding our worth in our following count or success. But that is the opposite of Jesus' true gospel. This gentle yet challenging episode is based off Ruth's new book, "When Strivings Cease", releasing into the world on October 12th.

Political drama and division aren't new issues, but they seem more apparent than ever. Through a global pandemic, political elections and more, we've seen more division and heartache than ever. And it's not just affecting the world but also the unity and love between God's church and people. Whitney Lowe of Scribble Devos is joining us today to talk about how we as Christians should respond to political division and react in unity instead. We're answering questions like: "How can we love each other when we have different political opinions? How can I not be discouraged by the news and world events and keep my eyes on Christ?" ** Disclaimer: We are not here to talk about our personal opinions or alienate anyone from the term "politics", because it can be sticky. Our goal is to look at what God's Word says about unity, love and the body of Christ and how we can fight for it all, no matter our differing opinions.  Follow Whitney (Scribble Devos) on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scribbledevos/ Visit ScribbleDevos.com and shop: https://www.scribbledevos.com 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.

It's no secret that social media is a tricky place to navigate... especially as Christians. Mikella Van Dyke, theology teacher and founder of Chasing Sacred, joins us on the show once again (can someone say returning guest?!) to talk about the importance of using discernment on social media. Other topics like jealousy, comparison and "glory-stealing" are all a part of the conversation as well. Tara and Mikella are both passionate about what a big tool social media is - one that we can use for good or bad. For God or for ourselves. AND! We're spilling all the details on the very first Christian Ministry Conference that Mikella is hosting on October 1st-2nd. And bonus! Tara is going to be a keynote speaker at the conference! Use code " TARA50 " at checkout to save $50 off your ticket price! https://www.chasingsacred.com/online-ministry-conference/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.
