Hey friends. Welcome back to another episode of Truth Talks with Tara, where we love to

uncomplicate scripture and look at what does life look like to know love and live God's Word in our daily life,

whether we are working, staying at home, whether we are married, whether we are single.

And also today's conversation is going to be specifically for the mothers.

What does this look like in our motherhood, in our discipleship at home and also outside of our home?

I am so grateful to have my friend Lauren on the show today.

We're going to be talking about one of my favorite resources that our family has that she has written,

these incredible kids book series that I'm so excited about and genuinely are in our regular rotation.

Today we're going to be talking about what it looks like to show up, basically, and just to remember

that what you're doing with your discipleship and your rhythms really matters. Because I don't know about you, but being a mom of little kids, sometimes it's easy for me to feel like, is this really worth it? Am I ever going to see the fruit? It's exhausting to sometimes just make meals and keep up with schedules. So is discipleship really worth it?

And Lauren's here to say that it is. So we have Lauren Groves here on the show today. And before we

get into sharing a little bit about who you are, Lauren, I told you I had a random question for you.

And I want to ask you, I think this tells a lot about who someone is. I want to hear one of your favorite meals, kind of like a last meal situation, or in another way to think of it, what is one meal that you could eat every day and not get tired of it? And I know this is like really random, but I'm a big foodie. I love making food. And I think it just like shows a little bit about someone's character when you hear this. So if you have something and I didn't

catch you too off guard, I'd love to hear. This is such a great question. I am in a season in my life.

I'm getting ready to release a substack post about this actually, where I am pretty much eating

the same thing every single day of my life. Oh, okay. Not necessarily because I love

it so much, but because I need to, I've got a busy life and I need to give nutrients into my body.

But one of those meals is a bowl of some kind. I feel like bowls are my generation's casserole where we're, it is the thing that

millennials will be remembered by. Throw it all in a bowl. It's great. Exactly. It's great.

Yeah. So it's like some kind of a grain rice. I love dressed kale. I'm really into making coal saw sauce right now, which not like what you would get at

PFC or something, but, you know, similar stuff, chopped veggies that are dressed.

And then just like a yummy meat on top.
