Clean Like Martha, Pray Like Mary // Advice For Busy Moms with Claire McGarry [EP 271]

Today’s guest is Claire McGarry and she’s bringing us a lot of wisdom to ponder as we discuss the gospel story of Martha and Mary. Claire writes on her blog: “I’m finding that motherhood is impacting my faith in ways I never would have imagined, and my faith is doing the same to my motherhood.” Isn’t that the truth? Our motherhood stretches us in unimaginable ways and it’s how God is helping us to look more like Him! Press play on today’s interview and meditation, and learn what this familiar gospel story can teach us mamas. Claire McGarry is the author of Grace in Tension: Discover Peace with Martha and Mary, as well as the Lenten family devotionals With Our Savior and Abundant Mercy.

"The Lord said to her in reply, 'Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things... Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her.'" Luke 10:41-42 How do we choose "the better part" in the unpredictable and sometimes chaotic days of motherhood? How do we know when God is calling us to set down the laundry so that we can pray, and when we need to set down our Bibles to love the crying child right in front of us? This podcast delves into all aspects of Christian motherhood, trying at its core to point all listeners to Jesus and His loving plan for us.
