Hey friend, you're listening to Truth Talks with Tara, a podcast dedicated to helping you know, love, and live God's Word.

I'm your host, Tara, and I am so glad that you're here.

Each week, we'll dive into scripture together.

We'll answer questions we all have about the Bible and about how to live for God,

as well as learn from some of my amazing friends and guests.

If you want to see how God's word can truly change your everyday life, this show is for you.

My prayer is that we would all grow in our knowledge of God

so that we can live boldly for him. So, what do you say? Let's get into it.

This episode is for the one who is tired, who is exhausted.

Friend, I know this feeling all too well.

The Lord is teaching me so much about what it means to slow down and to find true rest in him.

And I feel like maybe you need the reminder too. Because no matter what your

life looks like, I'm sure you feel tired, physically, emotionally, spiritually, whether that's

from our vocations, our work, our parenting, ministry, relationships, circumstances, illnesses,

there are so many different things in this life that makes us just settle into exhaustion and

overwhelm and just being tired and always feeling constantly tired.

And so I want to look at Matthew 11, 28 through 30, one of the most popular passages in the scriptures, I believe,

and see what that means for us and how we can take this invitation from the Lord to find

true rest and rest for our souls. But before we get into it, I want to say a big thank you

and give you a big old virtual hug, whether you are a very brand new first-time listener of the podcast

today or you have been a faithful subscriber for forever or anywhere in between.

My name is Tara and I am your host and your friend, Bible teacher, devotional writer,
