About this episode

About this episode

You can be serving God… and still feel overwhelmed. That's exactly what we see in the story of Mary and Martha.

Martha was doing everything right — preparing, serving, working hard. But internally she was anxious, distracted, and overwhelmed. Meanwhile, Mary chose something different — she chose His presence.

If your serving has started to feel heavy, this message will help you find the difference between working for Jesus and being with Jesus.
