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.

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. Tara loved reading Jennifer's latest book, The Inspired Homeschool, so much that she had to have her on the show. 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.

It's an honor to have Jean Stoffer and Grace Start, a fabulous mother-daughter-duo, on the show. Not only are they beautiful designers (featured in their own TV show), but they're also down-to-earth sisters in Christ and they're passionately sharing their heart for relying on God when seasons change. Together, they co-authored a sweet kids book about navigating change, trusting God when things are uncertain, remembering our ultimate home in heaven, and more. If you've ever struggled with an unsettling circumstance or "in-between" season (or if you're going through one now), this episode will resonate and deeply encourage.

We're doing a little happy dance over here because today's episode marks our first in house podcast guest in Tara's podcast studio (well, more like a corner in her office). Tara's sweet friend, Bel, is joining for a down-to-earth, tender, compassionate, and encouraging episode all about mental health and ministry. As a ministry leader, pastor's wife, mom, and beyond, Bel knows what it's like to struggle with anxiety and depression. The pair dive into what it might look like for believers to be more real with their mental health struggles, ways to support someone going through that, and so much more. Let's give it up for Bel!

Can I borrow your ear for ten minutes? In today's mini episode, listen in wherever you are as Tara unpacks a little bit about what God says about the season of summer. Whether your summer is full of fun, relaxation, struggle, or exhaustion, we're looking at God's beautiful design for summer, fruitfulness, and harvest, and how we can grab hold of that no matter what we're doing or what's on our calendar.

Here's to finding the community and connection your soul craves (and God created you for!) in a world that is tempting us to disconnect. My friend, Ashlee Gadd, wrote a new book alongside a handful of other authors that blends beautiful encouragement, essays, recipes, and tips from a gospel-centered approach to community and friendship. It's raw, it's honest, and it's life-giving. We're diving into what friendship looks like in busy seasons, how to stay consistent, the freedom to host without pressure of perfection, and leaning in when the world tells us to lean away from one another. With faith at the cornerstone, this episode is refreshing and like a whisper of rest.

You're in good company, friend.

Whether you're a self-proclaimed morning person or not, don't shy away from this episode! Tara sat down with her friend and best-selling author, Jennifer Dukes Lee, once again and it was powerful. After studying every single morning referenced in Scripture (you heard that right!), Jennifer was compelled to write about the spirituality, intentionality, and importance of mornings. In our conversation today, Jennifer shares her own experience, why mornings are good for the soul, how to implement rhythms of grace with God, and enjoy Him even more.

No matter what your morning routine looks like, God's mercies are new. Enjoy the listen, friend.
