Send us a textWhat if “desperation for God” isn't panic, but a holy ache that reshapes how you live, love, and obey? We get honest about the ways fear sneaks into prayer, why gratitude changes the room, and how fixing our eyes on Jesus turns wave-management into real faith. Along the way, we pull from David's psalms, Peter on the water, Isaiah undone by glory, and Jeremiah's fire-in-the-bones to map a path from encounter to commission—because presence that invites us close also sends us out.We talk about the two desperations: one that springs from distrust and makes prayer a last-ditch Hail Mary, and one born from meeting God that breeds humility, conviction, and obedience. You'll hear why starting with gratitude kills faithless frenzy, how to recognize “sonship” in the way you ask, and why avoiding a hard conversation at home can be more disobedient than declining a faraway mission. We also unpack the Mary/Martha tension, the delivered man who wanted to stay but was sent, and the quiet ways love matures into courage when you throw your heart over the bar.If you've been stuck seeking constant confirmations, numbing your soul, or chasing promises more than the Promiser, this conversation offers a reset. We offer simple practices to “catch fire”: sit near burning people, ask God for fresh hunger, and cut the anesthetics that dull your attention. The result isn't louder striving—it's a clearer gaze and a steadier yes.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs courage today, and leave a review with the one line that stood out most to you. Your voice helps others find their way back to a living pursuit of God.Support the show

As we get a bit further into the book of Luke and specifically the example of Mary & Martha, how do the Psalms allow you to focus and reflect on your relationship with God? The writers that so beautifully crafted this book were desiring to be closer to God. The worship and praise, despair and lament contained in its verses speak to a deep longing that God, in his mercy, would hear and respond to.
In this message, we open the new year by looking at God's unconditional love for the weary perfectionist through the story of Mary and Martha. In doing so, we will meditate on the free gift of grace and man's inability to receive it on any merit other than the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ. Scripture: Luke 10:38-42

Summary: Mary Martha shares her experience of moving to Chile and living as an expat. She initially wanted to learn Spanish and chose Chile as her destination. She had a family friend living there, which made the decision easier. Mary Martha entered Chile with a tourist visa and later applied for a temporary work visa. She started teaching English and later transitioned to working at a digital marketing company. Mary Martha found it challenging to learn Spanish as many people wanted to practice their English with her. She also noticed that Chileans tend to hold onto their high school friends, making it difficult to integrate into social groups. In this conversation, Martha shares her experiences of living abroad in Chile for the past eight years. She discusses the challenges she faced, such as language barriers and cultural differences, as well as the rewards of immersing herself in a new culture. Martha emphasizes the importance of self-care and prioritizing personal values while living abroad. She also offers advice for those considering a move abroad, encouraging them to be compassionate with themselves and to focus on their own well-being and growth. Takeaways: Choosing a destination with a personal connection can make the transition easier Learning the local language can be challenging when people want to practice their English with you Integrating into social groups can be difficult in a country where people tend to hold onto their childhood friends Living abroad can be both challenging and rewarding, with language barriers and cultural differences being common obstacles to overcome. Prioritizing self-care and focusing on personal values are essential for a fulfilling experience abroad. It is important to be compassionate with oneself and to give oneself grace when it comes to career growth and personal development. Building a community and making deep friendships takes time, and it is okay to prioritize personal well-being and maintain connections with friends and family back home. Defining and aligning with personal values can guide decision-making and lead to a more fulfilling life abroad.

This week, Chris drew attention to one of the stained-glass windows titled "Mary and Martha." Both Mary and Martha serve as profound examples of Christian life, embodying the balance between listening and action. Holding the tension between listening and doing can be challenging, yet both Mary's attentive listening and Martha's active service stemmed from a deep reverence for Jesus. Each Sunday, light shines through our beautiful stained glass windows, telling the timeless stories of Jesus' life. These windows are 130 years old, but the stories they tell are the foundation of a movement that began more than 2,000 years ago and continues to thrive today. Join us as we explore the stained glass windows, each story coming together to build a holistic view of who Jesus is and reminding us that we are part of a Church and a story much greater than ourselves.

There are a number of interpretations of the story of Martha and Mary in Luke 10. Some think the story states contemplation is superior to task orientation. Some think “type B” personalities are judged as better than “type A.” What Jesus indicates, however, is the idea of “the one thing.” The one thing can be defined as time spent listening to God's Word. Or the one thing that can be defined as taking action on what God's Word says. The The post Mary & Martha appeared first on Blue Oaks Church - Pleasanton, CA.
