Rooted + Rested Podcast – Episode 8

Have you ever hesitated to give your very best to Jesus—because it felt costly or maybe even a little risky? In today’s episode, we enter the fragrant scene of Mary of Bethany pouring expensive oil on Jesus' feet in John 12:1–8. It's a story of bold surrender, heartfelt worship, and choosing to give Jesus everything without holding back.

We’ll talk about:

  • The difference between religious performance and authentic love
  • How Mary’s posture of worship challenges our own
  • What it means to pour out what’s most precious to the Lord
  • A behind-the-scenes look at how I distill my own lavender oil (and what that teaches me about worship!)
  • A creative way to respond to this story through making your own lavender roller

    • NEW! I created a Lavender Roller Kit to pair with this episode—perfect for personal use or small groups. It’s a meaningful, hands-on way to reflect on the kind of fragrant, intentional worship Mary demonstrated. Available in 1, 3, or 5-pack bundles for groups!

    💜 Don’t forget your free reflection sheet that goes with this episode. It’s a quiet space to pause, pray, and process what God might be inviting you to pour out.
