The Effects of Extravagant Devotion
Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 60The story of Martha and Mary in Scripture give a great contrast between distraction and devotion. But the question remains how devoted, how obsessed, how in love should we be with Jesus? The answer is: extravagantly. In this episode, we discuss that Christianity is not a half-hearted pursuit of God, it is an all-out, completely obsessed, fully given over to seeking, loving, knowing, and being devoted to Him. Join Nathan Johnson as we examine the lives of Martha and Mary to see the effects of a life extravagantly devoted to Jesus Christ.Download the shownotes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: deeperChristian.com/60/

Are You Devoted or Distracted?
Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 59Far too many Christians are distracted with "good things" and thereby sacrificing intimacy and devotion to Jesus. In this episode, we examine the story of Martha and Mary in Luke 10 and how their relationship to Jesus gives us a picture of how we are to relate to Jesus either completely devoted to Him and growing in intimacy or becoming distracted with anything else. As Christians, we must not think that doing things FOR God is the same as having intimacy WITH Him.
