Listen "The Martha Trap: When God’s Not Impressed with Our Hustle"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we explore a truth that hits close to home for many of us: the danger of being so busy for God that we forget to be with Him. Drawing from Luke 10:38–42, we revisit the story of Martha and Mary—two sisters, two postures, one choice that Jesus calls “better.”Through practical reflection and a heartfelt invitation to slow down, this episode challenges the idea that spiritual busyness equals spiritual health. We’ll unpack why even good service can become spiritually dangerous when it distracts us from intimacy with Jesus—and how to shift from burnout to being rooted in His presence.If you've ever felt overcommitted, overwhelmed, or quietly worn out “doing for God,” this is for you.Please leave a comment or review for this episode to help us share this content with others!
