Description

If your mornings feel more like survival mode than sacred space, this week’s episode is for you.

I’m joined by Tara Beth Leach, she's pastor, author, and mom, and we’re talking all about how to make mornings with God doable and deeply meaningful, even in the busiest seasons of parenting. Tara Beth shares how a personal valley led her to create a simple rhythm that invites God into the start of her day… and now she’s helping the rest of us do the same.

Whether you’re up before the sun or waking to chaos and cartoons, there’s something here for you.

Here’s a little of what we cover:

  • A simple “G.R.E.A.T.” framework for mornings with God: Gratitude, Reflection, Exalt, Ask, and Trust
  • Why five intentional minutes can shift the tone of your whole day
  • How to create spiritual connection as a family (yes, even with toddlers!)
  • Ideas for inviting your spouse or teens into the rhythm with you


Meet Tara Beth Leach:

Tara Beth is a pastor, preacher, and author with a deep passion for helping people walk closely with Jesus in their real, everyday lives.
