Episode 6: The Better Part – Sitting, Serving, and Seeing Christ Clearly

In today’s reflection on Luke 10:38–42, we explore the sacred tension between Martha’s busyness and Mary’s stillness. Jesus does not reject service—but lovingly redirects our hearts toward presence. Through real-life examples, scriptural depth, and spiritual invitation, we are reminded that Christ sees us, values us, and calls us to begin again at His feet.

Takeaways:

  • You don’t have to earn Christ’s love or prove your worth—He already calls you His.

  • Service rooted in anxiety drains us; service rooted in Christ restores us.

  • Jesus makes space for those who’ve been told to stay behind the scenes.

This week’s spiritual actions:

  1. Sit before you serve – 10 minutes of stillness with Jesus each morning.

  2. Honor someone who feels unseen – speak a word of dignity or encouragement.

  3. Lay down one burden you don’t need to carry – and trust Christ with the rest.
