Truth Talks with Tara

This episode isn't "goodbye" forever... just a "see-you-later" for now. Join Tara for a quick, heartfelt episode as she shares why she decided to take a break from the podcast. You'll hear her honest thoughts about rest, why stepping back is important for God to move, when the podcast will return, and some fun news about the future of the podcast in 2026. Tara will still be around on Instagram and her free, weekly newsletter if you'd like to keep up there. With the podcast on pause, now's the perfect time with the new year and new rhythms to read Tara's new book, an ECPA Bestseller: Overbooked and Overwhelmed: How to Keep Up With God When You're Just Trying to Keep Up With Life⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
