Do You Long For A Deeper Friendship With Jesus?
Based on Joanna Weaver’s best-selling book, Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World, this 10-week video study shows how all of us – Marys and Marthas alike – can draw closer to the Lord. Deepening our devotion, strengthening our service, and doing both with less stress and greater joy – even in the middle of a busy life!
What It Is
Designed to be used with Joanna Weaver’s best-selling book Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World, this ten-week video Bible study includes a downloadable study guide filled with scripture and practical advice on cultivating a deeper friendship with Jesus. For we’ve been invited to the “better part” – a joyful life of “living-room” intimacy with God that flows naturally into “kitchen service” for Him!
