Extraordinary grace meets everyday chaos.

In this Women’s Breakfast message, our Women’s Ministry Director, Lisa Burgett, walks through Luke 10:38–42 (Mary & Martha) to uncover the one necessary thing Jesus says should sit above every other priority. If you’re overwhelmed by calendars, commitments, and even “good” Christian busyness, this teaching will help you trade anxiety and guilt for a Jesus-centered, Scripture-shaped life.

You’ll learn:
Why even serving Jesus can quietly pull you away from being with Jesus
How to make “sitting at His feet” your primary (not just another) priority
How time in God’s Word starts to reshape all your other decisions, roles, and seasons

Watch to the end for practical, realistic steps for different life stages (including moms with little ones), plus simple tools and rhythms to help you stay at Jesus’ feet in real life—not just in theory.
