The story of Mary and Martha is often presented with the message “Be more like Mary, less like Martha.” Yet, what is the deeper meaning behind Martha’s busyness and Mary’s kneeling? Is Martha doing it wrong and Mary right? Explore how our giftings and personalities are intentionally placed within us - never to be squandered - yet what is the “one thing necessary” that must come before service?
In one audacious act, Jesus sends a clear message that he counts women among his disciples. Socially determined roles are no longer the defining point. In God’s domain, neither gender, race, status, wealth, past behavior, or purity determine one’s position. Women become equals to men as disciples under the teachings of their Master - the son of God. It is here we realize that we all have a Master. After listening to this week’s episode and reflecting on the questions, notice who reigns as Master in your life, and the invitation to discipleship that is extended to everyone and results in reinstating Christ to that title in your life.

Reflection:
=============================
✅ What consumes most of your time and your thoughts? That has become your priority, and the priority is the Master that guides and directs our lives. What needs to be rearranged in your life in order for Christ to be your Master?
✅ Would you consider yourself a student of Jesus? If not, who or what are you learning from? What would it look like for you to learn from Christ - not to merely gather information - but to put it into action?
