Welcome back to the Bible Study Podcast. In this episode, we unpack why the Mary & Martha story is not a message to stop doing life — it’s an invitation to reorder your attention and learn to follow Jesus in the ordinary. We walk through Luke 10 in full context (the 72, the Good Samaritan, then Mary & Martha), and connect it to Mark 4 and the “worries of this life” that choke the Word.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why Luke 10 is a discipleship chapter (not a single isolated moment)
• The difference between doing life for Jesus vs. with Jesus
• What “distraction” really means in the Mary & Martha passage
• Why attention shapes desire, and desire shapes behavior
• Practical discipleship: habits, community, and training over time
• How God forms us in everyday moments (work, family, emotions)
• Phone addiction + micro-habits that create macro impact

Welcome back to the Bible Study Podcast. In this episode, we answer two foundational questions for believers and non-believers alike: What is the gospel—and who is Jesus? Using Mark 1 as our starting point, we unpack how Jesus preached the Kingdom of God and why the gospel is an announcement of good news, not good advice.

In this episode we talk about:
• What Jesus meant by “the time has come” and “the Kingdom of God is at hand”
• Why the gospel is good news (an announcement), not good advice (self-help)
• The difference between a geocentric faith and a Christ-centered worldview• Why Jesus’ main message was the Kingdom of God—not just moral behavior
• What repentance and belief actually mean: changing your mind, changing direction, returning home
• How Jesus demonstrates the Kingdom through healing, deliverance, forgiveness, and restoration
• Why the cross matters: sin, death, and the devil defeated through Jesus
• What the resurrection means: the beginning of new creation
• What it means to pray “Your Kingdom come” and live as Kingdom participants today
• How the Holy Spirit transforms us over time and shapes discipleship in real life
