    Ep.162 Stewarding What God Gave You: Lessons from Matthew 25:14-30

    What are you doing with what God has entrusted to you? In this episode of the Mom Keys to Mental Peace Podcast, we continue our 2026 Stewardship Series by exploring one of Jesus' most powerful teachings on stewardship: The Parable of the Three Servants in Matthew 25:14-30. Many of us spend time wishing we had more money, more opportunities, more influence, or more resources. But this parable reminds us that God is less concerned with how much we have and more concerned with how faithfully we use what we've already been given. Together we'll discuss: • Why God entrusts different responsibilities according to our abilities • The spiritual significance of the five, two, and one bags of silver • How fear, comparison, insecurity, and excuses keep us from using our gifts • Why God expects multiplication and growth from His people • The difference between investing your resources and burying them • How to faithfully steward your time, talents, relationships, finances, and opportunities If you've ever felt like what you have isn't enough to make a difference, this episode will encourage you to stop focusing on what you lack and start investing what God has already placed in your hands. Because faithful stewardship isn't about having more—it's about faithfully using what you've been given. Ready to choose peace? Let's do it.

    Ep.161 Stewardship of the Body: What Your Habits Reveal

    In this episode of the Mom Keys to Mental Peace Podcast, we continue our 2026 Stewardship series by talking about an area many women struggle with but rarely connect to spirituality—how we steward our bodies. Scripture reminds us that our bodies are not our own. They were created by God, purchased at a price, and entrusted to our care. But in a culture driven by comfort, overconsumption, burnout, and instant gratification, it’s easy to neglect the very body God gave us. In this honest and practical conversation, Tari explores five major areas that reveal how we steward our bodies: Food and nutritionExercise and movementDrugs and alcoholSexual stewardshipRest and burnoutThis episode is not about shame or perfection—it’s about awareness, intentionality, and honoring God through our daily choices. If you’ve been struggling with unhealthy habits, emotional eating, exhaustion, lack of discipline, or simply feeling disconnected from your body and health, this episode will encourage you to take small, grace-filled steps toward stewardship and healing.

    Ep.158 Mess, Stress & Stewardship: Creating a Peaceful Home

    What if the key to more peace in your mind isn’t getting more… but stewarding what you already have?

Inside this episode, we talk about: Why stewardship is a spiritual responsibilityHow clutter impacts stress, focus, and mental clarityThe connection between overconsumption and overwhelmThe Parable of the Rich Fool and what it teaches usPractical ways to steward your home wellHow to embrace a minimalist, Kingdom-centered mindsetWhy delegation and gratitude shift everything If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by your space, your stuff, or your responsibilities — this episode will help you shift from pressure to purpose.

    Ep.157 Children Are a Gift: Stewarding Motherhood God’s Way

    In this episode of our 2026 Stewardship Series, we’re talking about one of the greatest gifts — and responsibilities — God entrusts to us: our children. Scripture reminds us that children are a gift from the Lord, a heritage, an inheritance placed into our care. We are not their owners — we are their stewards. And stewardship means careful, responsible, intentional management of what belongs to God. In a culture where the value of children has shifted and motherhood can feel overwhelming, inconvenient, or even burdensome, we return to biblical truth: children are not liabilities — they are legacy. In this episode, we discuss: What stewardship really means in motherhoodWhy children are a blessing and inheritance from GodThe cultural narratives surrounding children today6 practical ways to faithfully steward your children — from modeling God’s principles and teaching life skills, to allowing failure, nurturing their gifts, covering them in prayer, and caring for yourself as their mother. This conversation is not about perfection. It’s about faithfulness. It’s about asking: How am I handling what God has already placed in my hands? If you desire to raise your children with intention, wisdom, and generational impact, this episode is for you.

    Ep.156 How to Faithfully Steward Your Time

    In this episode, we continue our series centered on our 2026 word of the year: Stewardship. We explore what it truly means to steward what God has entrusted to us—and why stewardship matters deeply to God. Focusing specifically on time, we reflect on its eternal value, the biblical responsibility we have to manage it well, and what Scripture says about faithfulness in the “small things.” Through honest reflection, biblical truth, and practical guidance, we confront distractions disguised as rest, unclear priorities, and mental overload that keep us from stewarding our time with intention. This episode invites you to ask a sobering but necessary question: When you stand before the judgment seat, what will God say you did with your time—and how will you account for it? If you’re ready to stop drifting through your days and start living with purpose, peace, and obedience, this episode is for you.
