Encounter Henley welcomes Guest Preacher: Nathan PullmanIn this inspiring message at Encounter Church Henley, guest speaker Nathan Pullman (Pastor at Waypoint United Church) shares a humorous yet deeply moving insight from a bathtub moment that changed his life—and brought him together with his wife, Darcy.Drawing from the story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10, Nathan explores why God doesn't just want our ears or our task lists—He wants a deep, loving relationship with all of us. If you’ve been feeling burnt out, distracted by urgent tasks, or trapped in the lie that you have to perform to earn God's love, this message will invite you to slow down, stop striving, and choose the "one necessary thing."Key Takeaways from This Episode:God is a God Who Speaks: Understanding how God speaks into the chaos of our lives through His Word, His church, His Spirit, and quiet moments.The Desert Island Joke & The Bathtub: How Nathan realized God presents opportunities right in front of us, but we have to step out to take them.The Trap of "Hurry Sickness": Examining how constant rushing and overwhelming to-do lists turn our time with God into a rushed afterthought.Mary vs. Martha (Luke 10): Why Martha was distracted by good tasks, and what it truly means to sit at Jesus' feet like a student with their Rabbi.The Concept of "Beholding": Moving past short "arrow prayers" and stepping into a life lived fully in deep relationship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.Abiding in the Vine (John 15): Why working in our own strength leads to burn-out, and how abiding in Christ gives us true rest, joy, and purpose.Connect with Encounter Church Henley:Website: encounteradelaide.com.auInstagram: @encounterhenley
