Episode 51 kicks off with a fun salted caramel Moon Pie taste test before quickly turning into a lively and heartfelt Mary vs. Martha debate. Anchored in Luke 10:38–42, Jessica and Alexa examine how these two sisters reflect different personalities, callings, and spiritual rhythms that many of us see in ourselves today.
Jessica identifies strongly with Mary—someone who prioritizes being with Jesus, hearing His Word, and pushing past distractions to stay close to Him. Alexa advocates for Martha, pointing out that she intentionally made room for Jesus in her home and lived out her calling through hospitality and service. Martha’s life reminds us that serving is not second-class spirituality—it’s worship.
The conversation digs deeper into how gifting can feel effortless to others but exhausting to the one carrying it, and how hospitality, service, and leadership can quietly turn into anxiety when limits aren’t honored. Martha wasn’t upset that Mary was sitting—she was overwhelmed by carrying too much alone. When our eyes shift from Jesus to what others aren’t doing, bitterness and comparison can creep in.
Jessica and Alexa also challenge the “consumer mindset” in the Church, emphasizing that serving one another is biblical, worshipful, and necessary. They explore how Jesus addressed Martha’s anxiety—not her service—and why there are moments when even the most capable servant needs to stop and simply sit at His feet.
This episode reminds us that Mary and Martha were both loved, both called, and both necessary. The Body of Christ thrives when we honor different giftings, help one another carry the load, and keep our focus on Jesus above all else.
So… whose team are you on—Mary or Martha?
