Are you feeling like a Mary, serving Jesus while others around us gripe and complain?

Are you struggling to take fellow Christians seriously because of your own biases and discriminations?

Or, are you like Jesus, in a position to set the record straight by uplifting and advocating for others? 

Listen to find out if you're more of a Mary, a disciple, or Jesus!

In this episode Krista gives a talk about persevering through discrimination to a group of high school students. No matter their insecurities and possible feelings of not “fitting in,” Krista encourages and empowers these students to live out their faith with confidence, even if fellow Christians falter in being exclusive, self-important and dismissive. Mary of Bethany and Mary Magdalene face the nagging reality of gender discrimination even among the other disciples, and Jesus time and again, affirms the women while correcting the mistaken disciples. 

Much thanks to Trinity Christian Academy Cape Cod for the opportunity to speak to your wonderful students!
