Details

This podcast is for moms, who feel too busy, distracted, and tired to spend time with Jesus, much less to help their kids do the same. As Moms one of our biggest goals is to see our kids get to heaven, but we can’t introduce them to a God we don’t know ourselves. But between drop off and pick up lines, practices, and activities, when are we to find the time? There is hope! This podcast will help you feel encouraged, inspired, and equipped to fight distractions and find the time as we learn to focus on Jesus together.

Ep. 51: The Savior Who Sees (John 17-21)

Sometimes the stories in the Bible fail to move our hearts. Or more accurately, we fail to be moved by them.

When this happened to me with the crucifixion story, I asked God to please soften my heart toward his word and he did! This episode is the story of how that happened and what I learned.

Pour yourself a cup as we LOOK at John 19:1-16 together.

Ep. 50: The Servant (John 13-16)

Ep. 50: The Servant (John 13-16)

In this podcast episode, we explore how Jesus relates to our daily struggles as wives, moms, and women. We often feel busy and unappreciated, but Jesus shows us that he understands. Looking at John 13, we see how Jesus served others because he knew where he came from, who he was, and where he was going. We can learn from him and serve others from those same places.

Ep. 49: The Good Shepherd (John 9-12)

Let’s LOOK together:

Listen

John 10:1-16

Observe

Open

Prayer–Take time to sit quietly with God, pray, and worship him.

Keep

  • If you’re not in God’s word regularly, start there. Join our online study at taralcole.com/join or in the show notes to get started. Start with us in the middle of John this month. There’s no such thing as too late! That way you can begin to know Jesus’ voice and follow him.
  • If you are regularly in the word, excellent! Begin to decipher Jesus’ voice from the voice of the world and Satan (the adversary–as explained in a Bible Project video linked in the shownotes). When you hear you’re inner soundtrack, compare it to know what you know to be true from what you know of Jesus' voice. Does it sound like what you know of God? Or does it not?

Ep. 48: The Bread of Life

Ep. 48: The Bread of Life

Let’s LOOK:

L - John 6:32-40 & 47-51

O - Bread - back then it was more nourishing. Think of the artisan and whole grain breads today. Interesting to note that many cultures have a bread type food as a main staple of their culture: bread, tortillas, pasta, fry bread…

  • It is needed for life.
  • He gave his life for us. Acts 2:38 tells us: 38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
  • We remember each Sunday by eating the Lord’s Supper - Communion. Throughout the OT we see God giving the people celebrations to help them remember. The same is true for the Lord’s Supper. We need help remembering. 

O - Prayer….

K - Spend time with Jesus today. Don’t let Satan trick you into thinking you’re too busy to spend time with Jesus. You’re too busy NOT to spend time with him.

  • Can be listening to the Bible
  • Do just a verse - might use the memory verses I give to newsletter subscribers each month
