It's a beautiful time to be in conversation with the lovely Tara Thomas. Tara is a chef, community organizer, and co-founder of the nonprofit, Breaking Bread, and also provides consulting and creative direction in the world of food. In this episode, we chat about her deep hunger (literally) and passion for food ethics and how that evolved into a career focused on bringing awareness to people's authority over their wellbeing.  Tara shares how it was important for her work life and personal life to blend, and we discuss Tara's vision dedicated to food politics and change the world, as well as the importance of rest in contrast to buzzy creative energy. Plus, Tara shares her relationships to fungi and mushrooms and we compare notes on what kind of mushroom we're currently foraging.  We can all bring more awareness and appreciation to our food. Tara believes that food sovereignty allows us to understand where our food comes from and serves as gudiance for bringing ethical standards throughout every process of producing food — it affects everything and everyone involved.  This is a beautiful conversation about creativity, community, and how food sovereignty can provide authority in our own life to nourish ourselves and our communities.  Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or on your favorite podcast platform.  Topics Covered: Tara's entrance into food and imagination as a kid How dropping out of school was Tara's way of finding authority  Tara's interest in studying food politics and the ethics behind food   The story of Breaking Bread's launch during the Geroge Floyd protests Rest as resistance in comparison to the energetic creative buzz Tara's love of foraging and what mushrooms have taught her Guest Info:  Follow Tara on Instagram @cheftarathomas Following Breaking Bread on Instagram @breakingbread.ny Follow Me: Follow me on Instagram: @tonyapapanikolove  Follow Rainbo on Instagram: @rainbomushrooms  Shop Rainbo: rainbo.com

There is a special honor that comes with ministering to boys and girls who aren’t quite old enough to hear and respond to a Bible lesson – at least not in ways we can see. We are talking about infants and children in the church nursery. Jesus himself spent time blessing “little children” by picking them up and laying hands on them. The disciples seemed to think the world would not be changed by holding babies and squandering time with little children, but Jesus’ reaction was different. In this episode of "Better Children's Ministry," Tara Thomas and Kelli Johnson discuss the unique privilege of serving some of the most helpless among us by ministering in the church nursery. In God’s Kingdom, power is shown in sacrifice. The last are first and the greatest are the least. We do important, impactful Kingdom work when we spend time holding babies. Highlights: 3:30 – The joys of serving in the nursery 4:52 – What gifting is important for serving in the nursery? 6:17 – What does transformational ministry to babies look like? 8:05 – What does the Bible say about holding babies? 11:10 – Encouragement for those serving the babies of the family

It’s October, which means that a lot of kids in our churches will probably be trick-or-treating and dressing up in costumes. Around the time of Halloween and our fall celebrations, the topic of fear, or being afraid, comes up a lot. There’s a lot of cultural expression around this time of year here in the U.S. that involves dressing up as something scary or wanting to scare people for fun. But the reality of fear is about so much more than just October and Halloween. Fears don’t always go away as we get older. All of us have experienced fear at some point, and the Bible has a lot to say about it. In this episode of Better Children’s Ministry, Tara Thomas and Kelli Johnson discuss how we as children’s ministry leaders can comfort children who experience fear and model a godly response to fear in our own lives. Highlights: 5:45 – How can we as adults help children feel safe to open up when they have fears? 8:44 – It it’s important to the child, it’s important to us 10:37 – How can comfort a child who is experiencing fear when they’re with us at church? 13:38 – There are different kinds of fear 15:30 – Scripture memorization as a response to fear 16:47 – Let the Lord speak into our fears 20:10 – What does the Bible say about responding to fear? 25:34 – Download a free Bible lesson on fear right now!

Every Generation Ministries believes every child can experience the transformed life Jesus intends for them. That is why we help churches give children opportunities to respond to God in their real lives. The Word of God is intended to impact every single area of our lives. In Deuteronomy 6:4-9, part of the command from God is to practice the truths of God. For this reason, “response” is one of the five principles from this passage that EGM uses to help churches disciple children. In this episode of “Better Children’s Ministry,” David Jesse and Tara Thomas discuss the practical ways we can encourage children to respond to God’s Word in their real lives.
