Episode Synopsis
The honeymoon season at Tara Beth’s church ended with having to navigate leaving a denomination with her congregation. This necessary change was hard for everyone but honesty and transparency helped guide them all into making it go as well as possible. In this episode, Tara Beth shares her experience and the internal challenges she faced during this transition. Mark and Tara Beth emphasize the importance of pastors being honest about their emotions while remaining brave. She organized a "Shepherd's Heart Live" event to address her congregation's concerns, and she highlighted the significance of unity and remaining faithful to one another, even amid tumultuous times.Discussion Questions:
