Episode 213: How to Ditch Your Control with Tara Sun

Tara Sun is the host of Truth Talks with Tara and author of, Surrender Your Story: Ditch the Myth of Control and Discover Freedom in Trusting God (Thomas Nelson, March 7, 2023). After trying to white-knuckle her way through life, Tara discovered that surrendering to God leads to a life filled with joy, peace and meaning. Coming from a performance based tradition and living so many years with constant striving, her encounter with grace is a gift she wants to share with everyone she knows. She shows how to break down God’s Word into understandable pieces, while also adding an artistic flare through her digital art. Tara is married to her high school sweetheart, Michael, and is a mom to their newest addition, Hunter. You’ll find them living and serving the Lord in Oregon. 

 

Two things Terra and Tara have in common. Can you guess?  Our names (well…sort of) and Oregon culture. Most of our podcast guests are from other places, but it’s so fun to talk to a native Oregonian who gets the terrain of this part of the world!
