God desires to use your everyday questions and struggles to break through the barriers unique to the space between you and Him. He knows about your wondering and your wandering, your tendencies and your trauma, your suffering and your sin. And just as He knows your past, He knows your present and future, and He plans to use it all to transform your relationship with Him for His glory.

From Barrier to Breakthrough: Finding God in Our Wondering, Wandering, and Wounding was co-authored by Tara and Jamie Wood of Discovering Truth Ministries. The book and its associated talks, offer a process to engage your honest questions through a biblical framework and provides practical, hands-on tools to systematically dismantle the barriers in your relationship with God.

Discipleship must move beyond volunteering in various church ministries and listening to Sunday sermons. Instead, God must have access to every part of us- soul, spirit, and body- to do His healing and reclaiming work. Then our light will shine all the brighter in the world. Tara incorporates the truth and grace of Scripture, with the wisdom of the body, and therapeutic concepts and practices to facilitate a deeply rooted, embodied faith.

Healthy marriages are the spaces in which our deepest wounds can be healed. God’s intention for marriage goes beyond procreation and cohabitation, to the representation of His love at work in, to, and through us. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Tara incorporates the neuroscience of emotion, the nervous system, attachment, and sex therapy to help couples connect more deeply than ever before.

While technology has allowed us more access to each other than ever, studies reveal that we are lonelier and more isolated than any generation before us. Tara offers a framework for facilitating depth and authenticity in relationships of all forms through teaching on the art of creating safe relationships which incorporates vulnerability, shame, curiosity, compassion, and more.

As a result of purity culture, patriarchy, and family systems, women have believed the lie that living small, quiet, passionless lives is our place. Sisterhood of Flourishing exists to welcome women back into their holy desires, knowing intuition, and grounded confidence as living acts of worship to the Lord.

Churches are places of healing for the broken and refuge for the weary. But for too long, the Church has used the enemy’s weapons of shame, guilt, and fear to accomplish kingdom purposes. As a result, the Body is experiencing a disheartening exodus, with many wounded by the very place they trusted to be a safe haven. But there is a better way. A way of compassion and tenderness toward the hurting; a way of invitation rather than condemnation; a way that brings healing to the whole person - spirit, soul, and body. Tara would love to work with your church through consultation and training to facilitate compassionate, trauma-informed church cultures.
