Sacrifice is not always easy. But could you imagine owning something valued at one year’s worth of your salary and sacrificing it for a friend? In this episode Gene unpacks the extravagant sacrifice a woman named Mary made for Jesus. 

Discover how Mary gave up something she loved for something she loved more. She did what she could to show Jesus great gratitude. Love that goes beyond challenges us to move beyond what’s comfortable when showing gratitude to our great king. 

Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside’s conviction that God’s grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God’s presence and activity in your life.
