Returning to the show is a truly JOYFILLED (no pun intended) guest - my real life friend, Rachel Awtrey. In this episode, we laugh and shed real tears together as we talk about what joy looks like despite our circumstances. We get real and talk about what to do when we don't really like our lives, but we know that God promises good things for us. How do we hold on and see the beauty right where we are?

⁠If you loved this conversation, you'll love Rachel's new book.

Tara and Rachel's books are coming out on the same day, so while you're at it, grab Tara's newest book for your summer/fall reading: ⁠⁠Overbooked and Overwhelmed: How to Keep Up With God When You're Just Trying to Keep Up With Life.⁠

I have to confess something. I've broken down and burnt myself out more than I'm proud of. I've overbooked and overextended myself to the point where I've neglected my relationship with God.

Growing your family is one of the most exciting endeavors, but it's also full of unknowns and worries. What will our current children think and react to the change? How can we as parents handle juggling more kids to care for and prioritize a godly marriage? Aubrey Coleman, mama of three and devoted to ministry (online and off) is here to talk us through it all.

If I had one word for this conversation, it would be "sweet." Aubrey is sharing biblically helpful truth for how to help our littles not just adjust, but rejoice with the change that comes with a new sibling, as well as how to stay connected to your spouse and not fall into the "roommate phase."
