From Donuts to Discipleship: Laura Tarro on Church Planting and Trusting God (Part 2) | PT 108
What if success in ministry isn’t about speed, numbers, or strategy—but about trusting God’s timing?
In this episode, Rev. Tara Beth Leach and Dr. Mark Quanstrom continue their conversation with pastor and church planter Laura Tarro, exploring how patience, trust, and a few unconventional worship spaces (yes, a donut shop and a brewery) have shaped her ministry.
🎙️ In This Episode:
📌 Highlights:
[00:05:00] “We’re going to call you pastor”—the moment that changed everything.
[00:12:00] Church planting without striving: “God builds His church, not us.”
[00:16:00] From donuts to drafts: How a donut shop and a brewery became places of worship.
[00:23:00] Wrestling with the need for progress while trusting God’s pace.
💡 Takeaway:
Laura’s story reminds us that faithfulness matters more than metrics. When we surrender our expectations and trust in God’s provision, we find freedom from the pressure to perform and space to let the Spirit lead.
