Tara-Leigh Cobble
Tara-Leigh spends her days helping people read, understand, and love the Bible! Those things include hosting a daily podcast called The Bible Recap, leading D-Group International (an international network of Bible studies), speaking to audiences about God and His Word, writing books, leading trips to Israel, and hosting a daily radio show called The God Shot.
In 2009, she started D-Group (Discipleship Group) with a handful of college students, and it has grown into 300+ groups around the world. They meet weekly—online and in homes and churches—to dig deeper into books or topics from Scripture. She also created and hosts a daily podcast called The Bible Recap, which aims to keep people connected to reading the Bible when they're tempted to quit for lack of understanding. She also has a daily radio spot called The God Shot.
She loves adventure, dabbles in flying trapeze, and thinks every meal tastes better when eaten outside. She lives in a concrete box in the skies of Dallas, TX, where she has no spouse, pets, or children—or anything else that might die if she forgets to feed it.

Jean-Paul Beran
At Focus on the Family Canada, our heart is to help families thrive because we know first-hand how many of us carry burdens from childhood into adulthood. Our family of origin has a huge impact on how we build relationships with others, participate in society and understand who God is, but when our family of origin was not a safe place, we don’t get that healthy foundation – and we struggle with how to break the cycle of brokenness in our own family.
This is something Jean-Paul Beran, Focus on the Family Canada’s new president, knows all too well. “My heart for the importance of family and serving at Focus on the Family Canada stems from the brokenness that happened within my family of origin,” he explains. “That’s why I’m honoured to come to Focus – to help people who are struggling in their marriage and family relationships.” As children, we believe our immediate family is normal and we often don’t question if it’s healthy or unhealthy, safe or unsafe. Many of us don’t sort through the patterns we learned as children until well into adulthood. For Jean-Paul, it wasn’t until his first daughter was born that he was confronted with how his unresolved past was determining the person he was becoming. Jean Paul joins us to share his powerful personal testimony of redemption and healing through Jesus Christ. http://focusonthefamily.ca>
