Truth Talks with Tara

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.

You asked... we answered! One of the most popular questions I get asked over on Instagram is about "modesty." This term tends to furrow our brow or leave a sour taste in our mouths. Maybe you believe that modesty is wearing only floor length skirts and covering your head. Maybe you believe that modesty is toxic. Either way, Allyson Golden, of Words are Golden, and I are here to bring us back to the Bible, the definitive source of truth, as we tackle this topic of modesty. In this conversation, we look at different passages that define what modesty is (hint hint: it may SURPRISE YOU). We talk about what it looks like practically, how to have a modest heart and life and we also debunk some popular myths! Follow Allyson on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wordsaregolden/Download "5 Days to Cultivating Rest": https://view.flodesk.com/pages/60d2e7fe4476407441cf0b93 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.

Coming at you with a slightly different episode than we're used to, but boy is it an encouraging one! Today, we're joined by Ashley and Amanda of Rosey Times Two. They are a sister-duo based in Florida who love to share functional workouts and balanced lifestyle online. It's hard to find fitness and health accounts that have a healthy philosophy when it comes to working out, eating well and just generally taking care of our bodies... but Ashley and Amanda are the real deal. Listen in as we talk about things like a healthy mindset to working out, the lies we believe about our bodies, how to find the right health regimen for you and much more! We don't dwell on the scale or shame here in the episode. Let's chat about how we can steward our bodies well! Follow Ashley and Amanda on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/roseytimestwo/Visit their blog & check out their workout guide: https://www.roseytimestwo.comCONNECT 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.

The choice is ours: whether we will be steadfast and immovable, or wavering and uncertain in our faith. Maddie, also known as Maddie Joy on Instagram and socials, is joining us to bring a word that God has placed heavy on her heart over the last few years. Steadfast is meant to be a defining characteristic of a Christ follower, and yet oftentimes, we are the opposite. The trials, struggles and temptations of life cause us to be shaky and uncertain and even fall victim to dry seasons in our faith. This conversation is packed full of encouragement, Bible passage breakdown and practical wisdom to be people who are "steadfast, immovable and always abounding in God's work" (1 Corinthians 15:58). Follow Maddie on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/maddiee_joy/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.

The long awaited episode... an episode with my brother, Lee! Today, we sat down to record what God has been stirring in my brother's heart: Who is Jesus to you? Is He just an influential figure in my life or is He "preeminent"? Lee wears many hats in his life, but one of my favorite things about him is his love for the Lord, the Bible and communicating it! He's a gifted speaker and uses his talents in our local church - speaking and serving all ages from middle school to young adults. We invite you to have this encouraging conversation with us as well as leave challenged as Lee asks us a lot of searching questions for our faith!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.

Who's approval are you living for? Man or God? Mariela Rosario, spoken word artist, writer, speaker, wife and mama, is joining us in today's episode to give us the encouraging pep talk we all need. It's all too easy to live for the approval of others and make decisions based out of fear, not freedom. It's all too easy to live without direction, unsure of our purpose in life. But in this conversation, we are talking about how to break free from living for others, the freedom we found in Christ and what our purpose is in him. Follow Mariela / She Speaks Fire on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shespeaksfireco/Visit SheSpeaksFire.org and all the links: https://www.shespeaksfire.org/linksCONNECT 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.
