Steps to Spiritual Growth Start Small but Lead to Big Changes in Faith
Steps to spiritual growth often begin with small acts of obedience. Each simple yes builds faith and opens the door for God to work in your life and community.

Trusting God in the unknown can feel terrifying, especially if you live with anxiety, depression, or a constant fear of getting it wrong. In this episode, Tara shares what it looked like to keep saying yes anyway. Not because she felt ready, but because God kept meeting her in the middle of the scary parts.
Tara opens up about a life-altering car accident that led to a traumatic brain injury and a long recovery, including struggles with language, balance, vision, and the kind of humility that clears your whole table. In that season, God stripped away distractions and kept calling her toward ministry. And even though she resisted for a long time, He stayed patient and faithful.
We also talk about what happens when you step out and the outcome is unclear. Tara shares two specific moments where God stretched her in new ways:
- Speaking at a women's retreat when she did not have her third session written, and God led her to speak without notes
- Launching a virtual summit and waking up with a frozen shoulder minutes before going live, a moment she recognized as spiritual warfare
You will hear how prayer and Christian community carried her through, and why getting out of your own way often makes space for God to do what only He can do.
If you feel stuck in comfort and familiarity, or you have already said yes but do not know what to do next, Tara offers a simple reminder: God is personal. He is close. He wants to be the heartbeat of your life, not an emergency button you press once in a while.
This conversation is faith encouragement for the woman who is tired of second-guessing and ready to take one small step at a time. Because you do not have to be perfect. You just have to be willing.
