Summary

For our second week of book club, we're recapping last week as well as diving into the next chapters - three and four. We're talking about how what we crave and give our attention to affects our spiritual health and how to reorient our priorities. And to wrap up, we're touching on identity and remembrance. My new book, "⁠Overbooked and Overwhelmed: How to Keep Up With God When You're Just Trying to Keep Up With Life⁠" is out now and to celebrate, we're kicking off a month-long podcast book club. Each week, we'll walk through a few chapters together, hear the raw stories of how this book came to be and reflect on what this means for our own lives. You'll need a copy of the book as we'll be calling out specific parts of the book and I'll be setting you loose on reading and reflection questions! Tara's book is now available ⁠here⁠ - also in audiobook format! Find it in your local Barnes and Noble as well as select Walmart's across the nation.
