The Garden

This week, we’re talking about family — the people who can bring out our best and sometimes our worst. Through stories like Joseph forgiving his brothers, Miriam and Aaron challenging Moses, Ruth’s loyalty to Naomi, and the prodigal son’s return, we see how God calls us to extend grace, humility, and forgiveness right where it’s hardest — at home. When family tests the foundation, His love teaches...

In this episode, we’re laying the foundation for our relationship series by looking at what it really means to walk with God. From David to Moses to Peter, even the greatest heroes of faith were flawed — yet God still loved them, restored them, and used them for His purposes. We’ll break down the myths of perfection, remind ourselves of God’s grace, and see how knowing His love changes the way we...

In this episode, Taryn welcomes Kari Collins for a heartfelt conversation about worship, that goes far beyond music. Together they discuss how worship deepens our connection with God, brings freedom and transformation, and can be expressed in everyday moments. Whether worship feels familiar or brand new to you, this episode will encourage you to see it as a lifestyle, not just a Sunday event. Foll...

In this episode we explore how worship isn’t just singing — it’s a force that brings freedom and transformation. From Paul and Silas praising God in prison to modern examples of living a life of worship, we’ll look at how true worship carries power to shake chains, open doors, and impact the world around us.

In this episode, we look at Mary’s extravagant gift and the widow’s two small coins—two stories of worship that cost everything. True worship surrenders pride, reputation, and resources, offering God our very best even when others don’t understand. Follow us on Instagram!

This episode looks at David bringing the ark back to Jerusalem—how good intentions without obedience led to disaster, and how doing it God’s way brought blessing. We explore what this teaches about worship that’s authentic, joyful, and from the heart rather than just outward formality. Follow us on Instagram!

In this episode, we sit down for an honest conversation about body image, comparison, and what it looks like to find confidence beyond the mirror. Together, we unpack the lies we’ve believed, the freedom that comes from letting them go, and how to embrace who we truly are.  Follow us on Instagram!

In this episode, we dive into the story of David’s anointing in 1 Samuel and what it teaches us about body image, self-worth, and how God sees us. While people often judge by outward appearance, God looks at the heart. Through David’s story, we’re reminded that being overlooked by others doesn’t mean being overlooked by God. Our value isn’t tied to size, looks, or status—it’s rooted in being fearf...

In this episode, we unpack Psalm 23 and what it means to rest in the Shepherd’s care — even when the wolves are still out there.

In this episode, I share the night I was completely wrecked by the love of Jesus. At a conference in Louisiana, everything clicked — His love, His timing, His healing. We talk about what happens when you finally stop resisting and let His love in. Spoiler: it changes everything. Follow us on Instagram!

In this episode, we dive into the story of Samson — a man chosen by God but undone by compromise. Temptation didn’t take him down all at once; it started small and grew stronger with every “yes.” We talk about why we keep going back to the things we know are harmful, the difference between deliverance and healing, and why you’re not called to fight temptation — but to flee from it. If you’ve ever...

In this episode, we talk about the importance of letting God fully heal the wounds we keep reopening. Whether it’s emotional pain, past offenses, or regrets, healing can’t happen if we keep picking at the scab. God wants to restore, but that takes our willingness to stop revisiting what hurt us. Let’s talk about what real healing looks like — and what it requires from us. Follow us on Instagram! T...

In this episode, we talk about why lukewarm faith will never lead to real transformation. God refines us through fire—not comfort—and if we stay in a place of half-hearted obedience, we miss out on the growth He’s trying to produce in us. Let this be your call to step out of neutral and into the refining process God uses to shape us. God doesn’t refine us in comfort. Refining requires heat —pressu...

Are you a fountain or a drain? In this episode, we explore how our daily actions either refresh others or pull from them. Rooted in Galatians 5, we talk about using our freedom to love, serve, and speak life—living connected to Jesus so we can pour out what He’s poured in. Follow us on Instagram!
