In this episode, I’m tackling the stereotype that Christianity is boring. For years, strict church traditions and legalism made it seem like following Jesus meant no fun, no freedom, and no joy. But that couldn’t be further from the truth! We’ll look at the history behind this stereotype, what the Bible really says about joy and abundant life, and how to shift our definition of “fun” to align with God’s best for us. By the end, you’ll see that Christianity isn’t dull—it’s alive, Spirit-filled, and full of purpose.

📝 Homework:

1. Try Something New: This week, do one “fun” activity that honors God (like a Christian concert, small group hangout, creative hobby, or outdoor adventure). Pay attention to how you feel compared to worldly “fun.”
2. Scripture Study: Meditate on John 10:10 and Galatians 5:22–23. Ask yourself: What does “abundant life” look like in my current season?

In this episode, I’m sharing a message the Lord placed heavily on my heart about the quiet epidemic of women idolizing men and romance. From “boy-crazy” childhood messages in media, to personal stories from my own life, we’ll uncover the signs that you may be putting a man in God’s place and the practical steps to break free from that cycle.

We’ll talk about:

• 5 signs you might be idolizing men or romance
• 5 ways to stop centering men in your life
• What Jesus meant when He offered “Living Water” to the Samaritan woman in John 4
• How to root your worth and identity in Christ alone

This isn’t a message of judgment—it’s a message of freedom. God wants to fill the spaces you’ve been trying to satisfy with men and give you the peace, clarity, and wholeness only He can provide.

📝 Homework:

1. Journal Reflection: Write down 3 ways you may have placed men (or marriage) in God’s rightful place in your heart. Be honest, even if it’s uncomfortable.

2. Scripture Anchor: Meditate on Ephesians 2:10 (you are God’s masterpiece) and John 4:13–14 (Jesus as the Living Water). Write down what these verses mean for your identity.

3. Practical Step: Take a 7-day break from any content that triggers romantic idolization (rom-coms, love songs, celebrity couples on IG). Replace that time with prayer, worship, or something that nurtures your personal gifts.

In this final installment of our Romans 6–8 Bible study series on sanctification, we’re diving into Romans 8—the powerful chapter that reminds us what it means to live life in the Spirit. Too often we stop at salvation, but God calls us to so much more. The Holy Spirit isn’t just present in our lives; He plays an active role in transforming us, guiding us, and producing God’s character in us. In this episode, I’m breaking down what it means to live by the Spirit, the hope of our future glory, and the truth that nothing can separate us from God’s love.

If you’ve ever wondered how to move beyond struggling in your own strength and walk in true freedom, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I’m sharing some insights God gave me while watching the Netflix documentary Unknown Number: The High School Catfish. If you’ve seen it, you know it’s about two teens who were harassed by nonstop text messages—only for it to be revealed that the person behind it all was someone shockingly close to them. Watching how people reacted to the mom online—so quick to judge, tear down, and call her every name in the book—made me pause.

It reminded me that as believers, we have to check ourselves. Yes, what she did was wrong. But there’s no sin too big for God’s forgiveness, and He expects us to extend that same forgiveness to others—even when we feel like they don’t deserve it.

I share a personal story of how I had to forgive a family member who hurt me with their words, and how the Holy Spirit convicted me when I wanted to hold onto an apology before I would talk to them again. I also tie in the story of Jonah, who didn’t want Nineveh to receive mercy because, in his eyes, they weren’t worthy. But the truth is—none of us are worthy. Yet God still forgives.

The heart of this episode is simple: forgiveness isn’t about who deserves it. It’s about being obedient to God and remembering how much He’s forgiven us.

In this week’s Bible Study episode of Mom Keys to Mental Peace, we dive into Romans 7 to uncover what happens after salvation. Many believers get stuck at “I’m saved” without understanding the next step: sanctification. Paul explains the ongoing struggle with sin, the purpose of God’s law, and why only the Holy Spirit can give us lasting victory.

If you’ve ever wondered why transformation feels so hard, or why you still wrestle with sin even after giving your life to Christ — this episode is for you.

We’ll explore:

✨ What the Law reveals about our sin (and why it’s not enough to save us)

✨ Why the struggle with sin is normal, but not hopeless

✨ How to rely on the Holy Spirit instead of striving in your own strength

It’s time to move beyond just being saved and step into true freedom through Christ.

📝 Homework:

This week, read Romans 7:14–25 each day and journal:

• What sins or struggles feel like a tug-of-war in my life?
• Where have I been trying to overcome in my own strength instead of leaning on the Spirit?
• End your journaling time with a prayer asking the Holy Spirit for help in that specific area.

Too many of us stop at salvation, thinking we've made it because we're "saved." But what happens after you say yes to Jesus? In this episode, we unpack Romans 6 to explore what sanctification really means. We'll talk about how God's grace isn't a pass to keep sinning, how to recognize the difference between your old nature and your new identity in Christ, and how to lean on the Holy Spirit for true transformation—not behavior modification. It's time to move from being saved from sin to walking in freedom from sin.

Tune in to learn what it truly means to be dead to sin and alive in Christ.

📝 Homework:

Scripture Reading: Reread Romans 6 slowly this week and underline every time you see the words "sin," "death," "life," or "freedom."

Journal on this prompt: “Where in my life have I been making excuses to continue in sin, rather than inviting the Holy Spirit to help me change?”

Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal one area where He wants to sanctify you this week—and partner with Him in it.

In this episode, we’re talking about the hidden patterns that often pass through generations—cycles of silence, trauma, and sin that shape families without anyone realizing it. These patterns may have been normalized or buried, but God is calling you to recognize them and interrupt them. We’ll explore how generational cycles take root, why they persist, and what Scripture says about breaking free from them. You’ll be challenged to reflect, pray, and step into your role as a generational curse breaker. It may not have started with you—but with God, it can stop with you. This is your invitation to start a new legacy.

📝 Homework:

1. Identify the Pattern:

Write down 1–3 recurring patterns you've noticed in your family (use the list from the episode as a guide).

2. Trace the Roots:

Try to identify the origin or possible trigger of the pattern. Who else in your family has struggled with this? Where might it have started?

3. Scripture Reflection:

Read Romans 12:2, Exodus 20:5-6, and James 1:5. Journal your thoughts on how these scriptures give you permission, wisdom, and power to disrupt harmful patterns.

4. Pray Over Your Bloodline:

Write out a prayer for your family—past, present, and future. Be honest with God about the healing you desire.

In this special anniversary episode, I’m reflecting on the incredible 3-year journey of the Mom Keys to Mental Peace Podcast. What began as a simple desire to share how God transformed my life by renewing my mind has now turned into nearly 150 episodes of weekly encouragement and spiritual growth for millennial moms.

I share the story of how it all started—from writing my first book during the pandemic, to doing Instagram Live series based on each chapter, and eventually launching this podcast under God's direction. I open up about the highs, the challenges, and the heart work God has done in me through this journey—especially when I’ve struggled with comparison, discouragement, or chasing the wrong metrics.

This episode is a moment of gratitude—for God’s faithfulness, for the purpose behind the platform, and for YOU, the listener. Thank you for every listen, every share, every moment you’ve spent growing alongside me. This podcast exists to make disciples, not to make a name—and that’s the true reward.

Here’s to more peace, purpose, and transformation in the years to come.

With wars, rumors of wars, and rising chaos dominating the headlines and our social feeds, it's easy to feel anxious, numb, or even confused about what’s really going on. In this episode, we’re diving into what the Bible actually says about the end times—beyond the memes, commentary, and panic.

You’ll learn what Jesus taught in Matthew 24, how history continues to repeat itself, and why the days of Noah are a prophetic mirror of today. This isn’t a doom-and-gloom message—it’s a loving wake-up call to examine your heart, anchor your hope in Christ, and live prepared, not panicked.

Whether you're feeling fearful or just curious about how current events align with Scripture, this episode will educate, equip, and encourage you with truth—and remind you that God’s patience is not permission to delay, but an invitation to come close.

📝 Homework:

Title: "Stay Ready Challenge – 3-Day Heart Check"

For the next 3 days, set aside 15–20 minutes each day for this spiritual check-in:

• Day 1 – Reflection: Read Matthew 24:4–14. Journal what parts of your life reflect preparedness and what areas may need alignment with God's will. Ask: If Jesus returned today, would I be ready?
• 
  
• Day 2 – Repentance: Read Genesis 6:5–8 and 2 Peter 3:8–9. Pray and write down anything God brings to mind that needs repentance. Confess and ask for renewal.
• 
  
• Day 3 – Renewal: Read 2 Peter 3:10–14. Make a list of 3 habits or spiritual disciplines (like prayer, Bible reading, serving, forgiving) you can commit to that reflect a “peaceful, pure, and blameless” life.
