Truth Talks with Tara

I couldn't be more proud to have Jacob Valk, co-founder of Into the Light Ministries, return to the show. Today, we're diving into the sometimes tender, but always important conversation about raising children of integrity and how to prepare them to stand against the dangers online. If you've ever wondered how to go about these often uncomfortable conversations, we're shedding gospel-light on them today.

Into the Light Ministries was formed to equip believers with the truth about of God-given sexuality, how to find freedom from p*rn, and so much more. We're talking all about how parents can be equipped to raise children among a dangerous online climate, how to honor the Lord, how to help our children understand God's design, and what practical ways we can safeguard our technology. Parents - you're not going to want to miss this.

Levi Lusko knows what it's like to spiral, and he knows how disorienting transition and change can be to a person - emotionally, physically, spiritually, and mentally. After a mid-life crisis that started a cycle of questioning his purpose, peace, and future, Levi realized that he was actually in a perfect position for God to lead him into greater faith. In this episode, we laugh, we go deep, and we unpack Scripture to help us biblically deal with anxiety, pause in Jesus' presence when life is chaotic, handle transitions and seasons you don't want to be in, and so much more. (We even talk about Disney Pixar's "Cars", so you're in for a treat.)

It starts with grace, and ends with grace. Amen? I've been dying to get Hunter Beless on the podcast and today's the day. We're digging into the sometimes ambiguous term, "God's grace", how discipleship and mentorship is not as intimidating as it sounds, and much more. In a world where social media reigns supreme and its easier to live behind our phones, this conversation is all about pressing in and I promise you - you'll see the fruit.

How can we stop letting clutter, clamor, and things steal our joy? Julia Ubbenga has been a minimalist for years and she's here to not only debunk the lies about living minimally, but also to encourage us in the life-giving practice of decluttering our hearts to live a life rich in what matters.
