Hi, sis, welcome to Truth Talks with Tara.

The purpose behind this podcast and online ministry is to help beautiful women like yourself know, love, and live God's truth.

Not only will this be a space of truthful, faith-filled talks, it will also be a place where we let God's word speak for itself, because God's truth speaks. My name is Tara, and I'm your host,

but you can call me your sister. Join me each week as we talk about the truth of God's word

and how it can ignite us with purpose. We'll talk about God's word, how we're called to live,

challenging topics, and grow in faith together. My prayer is that God would use this podcast to encourage and equip our hearts.

Let's be women who love his truth, live his truth, and spread his truth.
