Mary and Martha Deep Dive

from Pastors’ Hangover · host Pastors’ Hangover

This week on The Pastors Hangover, we’re diving deep into the story of Mary and Martha—and what it reveals about our own lives, especially in seasons of waiting, striving, and motherhood. Is it better to be serving or sitting? What does “resting at Jesus’ feet” look like when there’s laundry to fold and dishes to do? We talk about the emotional weight many moms carry, including mom guilt, and how to find peace when you feel stretched thin. Pastor Daryl also shares why “Motherhood is a ministry,” how to reframe guilt into grace, and how Mary’s posture in the Lazarus story still speaks to us today. We even ask the big questions like: What qualifies a kid as raggedy? and Do you have to wait until Jesus leaves the house to do the dishes? Whether you're in a season of pressure or pause—this one’s for you.   Last Weekend's Message: https://youtu.be/CQ3dZ7IIjgw?si=pXEP6f_Clh59lPvd   In this Episode: Kristin Bonham Daryl Black Hal Mayer Melissa Vicinanza   ABOUT GRACE FAMILY CHURCH Grace Family Church is a nondenominational, Bible-based church in Tampa, Florida.

Wounded Warriors of the Cross Gary Pastoral and clergy mental health is a mostly ignored area, especially by those who live their lives as pastors in the clergy. The stigma of mental health within those who serve in the shadow of the cross is something that invokes the stigma of fear. Many of those in the clergy will choose to suffer in their despair rather than reaching out for help. Sometimes those suffering choose to wait until it's too late to get the real help that they need. At Wounded Warriors of the Cross our mission is to lift the stigma and the veil of silence that encompasses clergy mental health and assist those who suffer in silence. Wounded Warriors of the Cross is here to shed the light of Christ's love into those dark places.
