Summary

Here's the final week of book club! It's been such a joy to walk through this book with you in a special, sacred spot here on the podcast. In the final episode of the series, we're finishing up with chapters eight, nine, and ten: all about how to put Jesus first and feel revived in our spirit when we're tired and weary, living a more rhythmic (and less hurried) pace, and so much more. If you're reading this, it's your sign to leave a rating and review of the book on Amazon! Even a few words or a sentence can make a huge difference in pushing this book further into the algorithm, thus helping more people find it and experience the rest and presence they crave with Jesus. Can you help me make it to 50? 100? 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.

0:00.0	Welcome to Welcome, welcome back to another episode of Truth Talks with Tara.
0:27.9	It is your friend, your host Tara, and we are kicking off week number four, the last week
0:33.4	of our podcast book club.
0:35.5	That's all about my newest book that launched about a month ago,
0:38.6	overbooked and overwhelmed how to keep up with God when you're just trying to keep up with life.

1:02.4	God's word in your own life, where you are at in this very moment, because I believe, but also
1:08.0	the gospel preaches more than anything, that the gospel means something
1:11.8	and matters and gives us hope in our everyday life and sustains us. Because Jesus is literally
1:18.1	everything in your mothering, in your marriage, in your relationships, in your work. And I just pray
1:22.9	that you feel that and hear that here on the podcast. If you've been following along the last couple weeks,
1:28.0	we have been doing a audio podcast club and I've been saying that I hope that it feels more like
1:33.4	a living room, like you and I getting to sit around a coffee table with our coffee, with our
1:38.3	matches, with our blankets, with our books and our Bibles, and just talking about this life,
1:43.5	talking about what it looks like to keep Jesus
1:45.6	central and his word central in a life that is often really overwhelming.
1:50.4	And our schedules feel overbooked.
1:53.0	And so we have been doing that the last couple of weeks.
