TARA L. BANKS

Our ECW Fall Luncheon speaker was Tara L. Banks, whose experience writing––and then accidentally losing––her first book told her that God wanted her to spend her days writing about what he was teaching her through everyday moments like that one. She is the author of Waiting on Wonders, a 40-day devotional that can help you learn to slow down and notice everyday encounters with God, and her next book, Finding Everyday Fruit, is coming out in early 2025. Tara and her husband, Greg, her college sweetheart, have two grown sons. When Tara’s not working on a book, writing on Instagram or Substack, speaking on a podcast or at a conference, mentoring, coaching, or serving as worship pastor at Seacoast Church in Mt. Pleasant, you may find her tinkering with her ’73 CJ-5 Jeep or dreaming of Hawaii––or waiting on wonders and working on finding everyday fruit.

While the two are at it, they share a more intimate look at their lives, their marriage and faith.  Greg traveled with the US World Cup Soccer Winning Women's team as a personal trainer.  Given his background, listeners hear a bit about human anatomy 101.  Included also is a "behind the scenes" look at what happens when a professional athlete gets hurt on the field and Clemson fans will enjoy Greg's professional perspective concerning a decision involving  the great Deshaun Watson playing through an ACL tear to end Carolina Gamecock's 5-game winning streak in the state's rivalry.  World Cup Soccer Champs + learning healthy spiritual practices = a heck of a conversation.   At least we think so.

Join Taryn for an interview with Tara Banks, author of Waiting on Wonders. Tara L. Banks has been secretly writing behind her computer screen for the last 12 years. It wasn’t until she decided to write her first book and then accidentally lost every word she’d ever written that she knew the topic had to be what God was teaching her through everyday moments like that one. While happiest behind that screen, writing on Instagram, or her blog, Waiting on Wonders, she also enjoys speaking on podcasts, at conferences and events, and sharing her experiences through mentoring and coaching. Tara is a worship pastor at Seacoast Church in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. She is married to her college sweetheart, Greg, and they have two sons, Ethan and Brody, and a daughter-in-love, Lydia. When she is not tinkering with her ’73 CJ-5 Jeep or dreaming of Hawaii, you will more than likely find her waiting on wonders. Find out more at waitingonwonders.com.
