Conversations with Sara Podcast

We hear about it, but do we really understand it? I'm talking about human trafficking. This episode is to help spread awareness and educate others on the prevention of human trafficking. It happens everywhere and we all need to be part of the solution to end it.

Today on the podcast we are thrilled to welcome Rabbi Jason Sobel! He is a thought provoking leader, Jewish follower of Jesus, and is co-founder of Fusion Global, an organization dedicated to deeper insights into the Jewish roots and scriptures.

He is also co-author of The Rock, The Road, and The Rabbi with Kathie Lee Gifford!

If there is a detail in the scripture, it's there for a reason. We've read the stories in the Bible many times... but there's more to these stories than we've seen.

You have to understand what the Bible says... NOT just what you've been told it says. Go beyond a "Sunday School" approach to the Bible by digging in the original languages and deeper meanings on the Holy Scriptures.

Enjoy learning!

I'm thankful to sit down and have some encouraging girl talk with Natalie Grant!

Natalie is an eight-time GRAMMY® nominee and has remained one of Christian music’s top-selling artists since her 2005 breakout RIAA Gold-certified album, Awaken. Known for powerful vocals, heart-gripping lyrics and passionate performances, Grant has since gone on to amass more than 500 million streams and has garnered several #1 singles at radio.

We talk a little about faith during the hard times, life as a mom and giving advice to our kids, her new music, and gratitude. She's always such joy. I hope you get as much encouragement as I did.

Natalie sang her new song "My Weapon" live on her Facebook page. She wrote this about the single and what life is like right now for her….

“So today, it all started to hit for me. Heavy sadness for all those who’ve lost loved ones. Fear for my family members who are working in medical facilities where they’ve run out of masks and supplies. Uncertain as I’m suddenly unemployed. Though it’s a big hit, I’m so thankful that we will be ok. But I can’t say the same for so many crew members, musicians, truck/bus drivers, production companies, not to mention young artist who needed these tours to survive. I’m anxious about my kids and school, 2 students from the girls school just tested positive for COVID-19 today. With Gracie’s asthma and weak lungs, I want this nasty virus to stay far away. Today it was all overwhelming. And so I worshipped. Because His presence is our greatest weapon. And my worship opens up the heavens and is the pathway to his presence. The struggle is real, as are the facts. But our God is real and he is ALIVE - and worship reminds us that we are fighting from victory, not for victory. I hope this helps you remember that.”

Check out my blog conversationswithsara.com for my post on Gratitude and research to that shows just how important is is for our well-being.

Welcome Back to another Conversations with Sara Podcast! Today our guest is Dr. Tara Scott!

Dr. Tara Scott, founder of Revitalize, is a nationally recognized authority on hormone and wellness related issues.

Dr. Tara Scott first became involved with hormone and integrative medicine while practicing as an OB/GYN. Her empathy for patients experiencing hormone related issues led her to become trained and certified by the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. The evidence-based practices she employed helped many patients conquer chronic wellness issues, and word quickly spread. It soon became clear that a practice devoted strictly to evidence-based regenerative medicine, highly focused on hormone-related issues, was needed in the medical community. Revitalize was born. Dr. Scott is passionate about educating the medical community on the advances in evidence-based hormone therapy. She is a national speaker on the subject and would welcome the opportunity to speak with your group, or answer your specific questions.

Dr. Scott explains "what is functional medicine?"

We discuss:

• Every day tools people can use for stress and anxiety

Follow Dr. Scott on social media and learn more online at Revitalize Med!

Also, for my new discoveries I talked about... You can find them on my "favorite things" page on Amazon. You can shop here! The books I discussed + the soda stream are there!

The books mentioned as below. You can find them in my books section of my Amazon page too.

• The Rational Bible by Dennis Prager
