  • The Hard (But Hopeful) Truth About Postpartum with Annie Vanderheiden
    2026/09/01
    It is such a joy to provide a space where we can honestly and hopefully look to Jesus in our postpartum seasons. As a mom herself, Tara has experienced postpartum first hand. It's joyful and wonderful with your sweet baby, but what not many people talk about is how hard, isolating, confusing, and hard it can be. Annie Vanderheiden is a fellow mom, sister-in-Christ, and the author of a new book all about Christ's care for postpartum moms. Tara and Annie look at how we can look to Him when our hormones are raging, how to take care of ourselves, what it means to reach out and be real with one another as we struggle, and so much more. Annie offers gospel hope to new moms in a disorienting season. Even as you perform daily tasks of feeding, soothing, and nurturing your child, Christ does the same for you. If you're a mom going into postpartum soon, are currently in it, or know someone who is having a baby soon, this is for you!

  • Chronic Illness as a Christian: How God Turns Our Weakness Into a Testimony
    2026/08/25
    How can we hold onto hope in the midst of autoimmune and chronic illness? In today's episode, Tara is sharing the whole story of her personal journey with fibromyalgia, from the beginning to now. Not only does she share her thirteen-year-struggle with this illness, but also how God has refined her faith through it. Spoiler alert: It's been messy at times and it would be an understatement to say that her faith was questioned during the process. But God is kind, faithful, and wastes nothing. If you're struggling with a chronic illness today, I hope you walk away knowing that what we may consider a setback in our life can truly be used as a setup and divine sanctification by our Heavenly Father.

  • The Mundane Moments Matter Too: Cultivating a Grace-Laced Life with Ruth Chou Simons
    2026/08/18
    Does life feel a little bit "mundane" lately? Whether it's school drop-off, the routine of work, the comparison on social media, or anything else that we run into during the day, the temptation is to look around and wonder if our everyday tasks and moments really matter. Are we really making a difference for the kingdom? How does the laundry and dishes really matter in the kingdom? Ruth Simons is returning to the show to talk about her newest book, This Moment Matters. We're talking about how to cultivate joy "in the trenches" of everyday life, how God's grace meets us in every single moment, practical steps to create a life that you love AND brings God glory, creating a Scripture memory station, and so much more. Through vulnerable testimony, powerful honesty, and biblical wisdom, Tara and Ruth are getting real about where they've felt mundane, but how God has turned it into something meaningful. And He sure can do it for you too. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch Truth Talks with Tara on YouTube here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!

  • Homeschool From a Christian Perspective with Jennifer Pepito
    2026/07/28
    If you, like Tara, have been curious about homeschool as a Christian parent, but feel intimidated by starting, unqualified to equip your children, overwhelmed by making a decision, or unsure about next steps, this episode is a must-listen.

Jennifer is a mother of 7, sister in Christ, and homeschool "professional" who has sage wisdom for us from Scripture and her own experience. Today, we're chatting about why so many people (Christian families especially) are flocking to homeschool, how to raise children in the gospel, how to figure out if this is the right fit for you, curriculum ideas and so much more! Let's this conversation take the overwhelm out of the equation for you so you can pray and discern what's right for you and your family. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch Truth Talks with Tara on YouTube here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!
