    Ep.166 Philippians 4:6-7 How to Experience the Peace that Surpasses Understanding

    Have you ever had one worry turn into ten? One concern becomes a rabbit hole of “what ifs,” and before you know it, your mind is running through every possible scenario trying to figure out how to make everything okay. But what if the peace we're looking for doesn't come from finally having all the answers? In this episode of Mom Keys to Mental Peace, we're diving into Philippians 4:6–7 and what it means to experience the peace of God that surpasses understanding. We'll talk about the ways we try to create our own peace through control, busyness, and distraction—and how God's peace is different. God's peace doesn't necessarily mean the problem disappears. Sometimes the problem is still there, the answer hasn't come yet, and the circumstances haven't changed. Yet somehow, you can still have peace. I'll also share a personal story of having to practice Philippians 4:6–7 during one of the most difficult seasons of my life and what it looked like to pour my worries out to God instead of allowing them to spiral in my mind. Because peace isn't the absence of problems. Peace is the presence of God in the middle of them. If your mind has been overwhelmed by worry, this episode is your reminder that you don't have to carry it all. Bring it to God, thank Him for what He's already done, and trust Him with what you cannot control. Ready to choose peace? Let's do it! Homework:  Your homework this week: Practice Philippians 4:6–7. When a worry begins to spiral, stop and take it to God. Write down: What am I worried about?What do I need from God right now?What can I thank God for?What am I trying to control that I need to surrender?Then spend a few moments reminding yourself: “I don't know what is going to happen, but I know God is with me.” Notice what happens when you stop trying to create your own peace and allow God to guard your heart and mind.

    Ep.165 When Parenting Feels Hard: Finding Peace in the Process

    Every mom has moments that make her question if she's getting this parenting thing right. Whether it's difficult behavior at school, disrespect, poor choices, or simply feeling discouraged by the season you're in, parenting can leave us carrying guilt and wondering where we went wrong. In this honest and encouraging episode, Tari shares personal parenting struggles, lessons she's learning with each of her children, and the hope found in the Parable of the Prodigal Son. Together we'll explore what it means to faithfully parent without believing our children's every choice is a reflection of our worth as mothers. If you've been feeling defeated or exhausted on your parenting journey, this episode is a reminder that God is still writing your child's story—and yours. In this episode you'll learn: Why your child's behavior isn't always a reflection of your parentingThe difference between biblical principles and promisesHow the Prodigal Son gives parents hopeFour practical ways to stay encouraged when parenting feels hardBecause progress—not perfection—is the goal, and God is faithful through every season of motherhood. Resources Mentioned in the Show: “The Power of the Praying Parent”: https://amzn.to/49Rg1T4 Homework:  This week, think of one area where you've been discouraged in your parenting. Take 10–15 minutes to journal through these questions: What emotions have I been carrying about my child's behavior?Have I been taking their choices as a personal reflection of my worth as a mother?What seeds have I already been faithfully planting?What burden do I need to surrender to God today?Then choose one intentional act of encouragement toward your child this week—a meaningful conversation, quality time, praying over them while they sleep, writing them a note, or simply reminding them how much they're loved.

    Ep.164 Contentment, Gratitude, & Stewardship: Three Ingredients for a Peaceful Life

    We've spent the past seven months talking about stewardship, but there's one area that often gets overlooked—the stewardship of our hearts. In this episode, Tari shares how God exposed her own struggles with complaining, comparison, envy, and discontentment, and how He used Scripture to transform her perspective through gratitude and contentment. Together we'll explore: Why contentment, gratitude, and stewardship always work togetherThe hidden connection between comparison and covetingHow social media can fuel discontentmentWhat Eve's story teaches us about wanting what isn't oursSix practical, biblical ways to cultivate contentment in every seasonIf you've ever caught yourself thinking, "I'll finally be happy when..." this episode is a gentle invitation to discover the peace that comes from trusting God with both what you have today and what you're believing Him for tomorrow. Because faithful stewardship doesn't begin when you have more—it begins when you recognize that God is enough.

    Ep.163 Story Time: How God Led Us to Our New Home

    After nearly 10 years in our two-bedroom apartment, my family finally received the keys to our new home. In this special story-time episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of our moving journey and sharing how God faithfully guided every step—from learning contentment in our old apartment to preparing financially, trusting His timing, submitting our plans to Him, and watching Him work out every detail.

    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.
