Ep. 43: From Routine to Relationship: The Martha to Mary Shift

Ever find yourself doing all the right things for God but still feeling spiritually disconnected? 😮‍💨 This episode is your invitation to pause and make the shift—from Martha’s hustle to Mary’s heart posture. 💗


We’re talking about what it looks like to move from routine to relationship with God, how to recognize when our spiritual rhythms have become checklists, and why Jesus praised Mary for choosing presence over productivity.


This conversation will encourage you to stop striving and start abiding—because God isn’t after your perfection, He’s after your presence.

🔑 Topics We Cover:

  • What the Martha to Mary Shift means for your walk with God

  • How to move from checking the box to checking in with God

  • Why intentionality in preparation matters more than performance

  • How to shift from obligation to overflow in your quiet time and daily life

  • Practical examples + real talk on choosing relationship every day

📖 Scriptures Mentioned:

  • Luke 10:38–42 – Mary & Martha; John 15:4–5 – Abide in Me; Revelation 3:20 – Jesus knocks; James 4:8 – Draw near to God

    💭 Reflection Question:

    Where has your relationship with God looked more like Martha’s busyness than Mary’s being present with God/Jesus? What can shift this week?
