8 September 2026, 7:00 am - 41 minutes 12 secondsThe Hard (But Hopeful) Truth About Postpartum with Annie Vanderheiden
It is such a joy to provide a space where we can honestly and hopefully look to Jesus in our postpartum seasons. As a mom herself, Tara has experienced postpartum first hand. It's joyful and wonderful with your sweet baby, but what not many people talk about is how hard, isolating, confusing, and hard it can be. Annie Vanderheiden is a fellow mom, sister-in-Christ, and the author of a new book all about Christ's care for postpartum moms.
Tara and Annie look at how we can look to Him when our hormones are raging, how to take care of ourselves, what it means to reach out and be real with one another as we struggle, and so much more. Annie offers gospel hope to new moms in a disorienting season. Even as you perform daily tasks of feeding, soothing, and nurturing your child, Christ does the same for you.
If you're a mom going into postpartum soon, are currently in it, or know someone who is having a baby soon, this is for you!

1 September 2026, 7:00 am - 22 minutes 39 secondsChronic Illness as a Christian: How God Turns Our Weakness Into a Testimony
How can we hold onto hope in the midst of autoimmune and chronic illness? In today's episode, Tara is sharing the whole story of her personal journey with fibromyalgia, from the beginning to now. Not only does she share her thirteen-year-struggle with this illness, but also how God has refined her faith through it. Spoiler alert: It's been messy at times and it would be an understatement to say that her faith was questioned during the process. But God is kind, faithful, and wastes nothing.
If you're struggling with a chronic illness today, I hope you walk away knowing that what we may consider a setback in our life can truly be used as a setup and divine sanctification by our Heavenly Father.

25 August 2026, 7:00 am - 32 minutes 46 secondsThe Mundane Moments Matter Too: Cultivating a Grace-Laced Life with Ruth Chou Simons
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.

4 August 2026, 7:00 am - 31 minutes 12 secondsHomeschool From a Christian Perspective with Jennifer Pepito
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.

21 July 2026, 7:00 am - 32 minutes 32 secondsListen To This If You Struggle with Change with Jean Stoffer and Grace Start
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.

30 June 2026, 10:44 pm - 38 minutes 51 secondsStop Overcomplicating Community: Hospitality, The Gospel, and Friendship in Real Life with Ashlee Gadd
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.
