    The Realm of Impossible

    What do you do when God asks you for the "impossible"?Most of us would focus on the "No." We would focus on the logistics, the fear, and—like Mary—the intense scrutiny from the world around us. Mary knew that saying "Yes" to God meant saying "Yes" to being misunderstood, judged, and questioned by her community. Yet, she didn't let the weight of the obstacle outweigh the weight of her obedience.In this episode, join Monica Britton and myself as we dive deep into the life of Mary, the mother of Jesus. She taught us how to see the possible in the impossible by shifting her gaze away from the scrutiny and onto the invitation of the call.
