She carries a deep passion for helping people encounter God—not just through doing things for Him but by being with Him.
In this episode, Tanya shares about:
✨ Growing up in a Mexican mission and feeling unlikely, yet chosen, in God’s plan
✨ How God calls the least likely and meets us in our places of obscurity
✨ The personal loss that changed her faith at 13 and led her to truly seek God
✨ The power of honest prayers and learning to be fully real with God
✨ HowBefriending God was birthed from a season of exhaustion and striving, leading her back to the simple, beautiful reality of knowing Him as a friend
Tanya’s story is one of deep transformation—moving from achievement-driven faith to a life of intimacy with God. Her words will encourage anyone who has ever wondered if they’re enough or if God sees them.
She also shares about her recording,The Returning, a musical companion to the book that captures the presence of God in an empty room, just her and Him.
Her final encouragement? God is your permanent home. No matter what is shifting in the world, He is your safe place, your anchor, and He wants to be with you.
Go grab your copy ofBefriending God today and be reminded that your relationship with Him is not about striving—it’s about abiding.
