The Lie of Self-Reliance :: Tara Davis' Story :: [Episode 297]

The Lie of Self-Reliance :: Tara Davis' Story :: [Episode 297]

Tara Davis, of our Mountain Brook, Alabama community, experienced a childhood with some emotional and physical abandonment. As a result, learning independence and self-reliance came easily. But unlearning them? Not easy at all.

In the midst of relationship hurts, financial rock-bottoms, and even the murder of her mother, Tara finally found that surrendering in suffering is the true way to peace. Listen and learn that freedom comes when you trust God with your deepest despair and live with dependence on Him.

In this episode, you will learn:

– When you have the right view of your circumstances, peace and hope are possible.

– Self-reliant roads lead to dead ends. Full trust in God leads to freedom.

– The Lord is near you, and He hears your prayers.
