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.

And that is not our intention in this conversation today.

You are welcomed and invited to sit with us today as we

talk about God's beautiful design for life, how we can speak boldly and truthfully in love. Also,
