Anxious and Troubled About Many Things: What Jesus Taught Martha (and Us) | Women's Retreat 2025, Session 1


Listen Later

Do you ever feel like life is moving too fast ... juggling responsibilities, running from one task to the next, trying to do it all for everyone?

In this first session from our Rest in the Lord Women’s Retreat, Jennifer Perez, Deaconess of Ministry to Women at The Journey Church, leads us through the story of Mary and Martha (Luke 10:38–42).

Through Martha’s busyness and Mary’s stillness, Jesus offers a gentle, life-changing invitation: slow down, sit at His feet, and choose the better thing. Together, we explore how to find true rest, not by doing more, but by drawing near to the One who gives peace to anxious and troubled hearts.

Whether you’re in a season of hurry, heaviness, or heartache, this episode will encourage you to rediscover the rest and renewal only Jesus can provide.
