I'm Friends, welcome back to another episode of Truth Talks with Tara.

It is your friend Tara, and we are all about helping you know God's word, love God's word,

and live God's word in your life.

And if you haven't heard me say it before, I firmly believe that when we know who God is

and through His word, it produces a love.

It produces an intimacy and a relationship.

And out of that relationship produces practicals, produces the action for us to go live

our faith.

And whether you're a mom like me, whether you're a wife,

whether you're dating, whether you're engaged, whether you're in school, working, in ministry,

an empty nester, no matter where you find yourself, I believe this holds true for every single

one of us. And so that's my heart for this podcast and I'm just so grateful you're here.

A little side note before we start. My mom usually

watches my boys on Monday mornings from like 8 a.m. to like 12 p.m. And when she was picking them up,

she usually likes to ask like what I'm doing like for the day, like what's on the schedule for work

or whatever I need to do. And I'm like, I'm going to go talk to my friends. And she just like, what? I'm like, oh, my podcast. And I genuinely believe that I feel whenever I sit

behind the mic that I am talking to you. And I usually have a cup of coffee. I do right now.

And it feels like we're at a coffee date. And I think this is probably the closest thing we'll ever

get to a coffee date. Maybe someday we'll have an opportunity to all hang out. But this feels special and sacred. And I just want to know

how much you're loved. And that when you hit play, you share this episode, when you listen,

when you, you know, email or DM me about what God has been teaching you through an episode,

like it really means the most to me because I really treasure this friendship.
