Open Hearts before Ready Hands
from The Shawn Herring Show Hosted by Shawn Herring
In this episode of The Shawn Herring Show, we look closely at the story of Mary and Martha and Jesus’ invitation to choose “the better portion.” So often, our faith is marked by activity—serving, doing, producing—yet Jesus calls our attention first to presence. Before ready hands, He desires open hearts. Before performance, He invites us to sit at His feet. This conversation explores the tension between devotion and distraction, service and stillness, and how easily good things can take the place of what is most necessary. Together, we reflect on what it means to seek Jesus before striving for Him, to prioritize intimacy over output, and to allow our service to flow from time spent with Christ rather than replace it. This episode is an invitation to slow down, examine our priorities, and realign our lives around presence with Jesus—because who we are becoming matters more than what we are producing.
