Distraction vs Devotion

In this episode of Women of a Certain Age, we dive into the familiar but deeply convicting story of Mary and Martha and ask the hard question: Are we busy doing good things, but missing the best thing?Using this powerful biblical moment, hosts Keesha and Sarah unpack the tension between distraction and devotion, especially for women who carry a lot family, work, ministry, expectations, and the unspoken pressure to always “have it together.” Like Martha, many of us are faithful, responsible, and hardworking… but exhausted. Like Mary, we long to sit, listen, and simply be in God’s presence,yet guilt often pulls us back into busyness.This conversation explores:How distraction can quietly pull us away from intimacy with GodWhy devotion requires intentional stillness in a noisy worldThe difference between serving for God and sitting with GodWhat this story means for women in this season of lifeWhether you see yourself as a Martha, a Mary, or somewhere in between, this episode invites you to pause, reflect, and reconsider where your attention and your heart are truly anchored. Less striving. More presence. Choosing the better portion.
