Martha & Mary, Anxiety, and Being Loved by God with Sarah McKenzie

Описание: What did Jesus really mean when He said Mary had “chosen the better part”? And what does that mean for Catholic women who are constantly doing—hosting, serving, mothering, working—often with a side of anxiety and overwhelm?

In this episode of The Catholic Woman Podcast, host Marie Hanson talks with Sarah McKenzie, a Catholic wife, mom of eight, and registered therapeutic counsellor, about the Gospel story of Martha and Mary (Luke 10:38-42) and how it speaks to our identity, our anxiety, and our relationship with Jesus.

In this episode, we discuss:
Why the Martha & Mary passage can feel painful for “doer” personalities
The difference between doing mode and being mode with God
How anxiety and perfectionism keep us from receiving the Lord’s presence
A beautiful image of Our Lady praying while working in the home
Identity lies we pick up as children and how they burden our hearts
What faith-integrated parts work is and how it helps us heal with Jesus
How to speak identity into our kids in healthier, more truthful ways
The deep human need to be delighted in, by God and by others
