Reid","description":"Are you a woman that likes to get things done? If you\u2019re love to-do lists, then you\u2019re going to love my conversation with Katie M. Reid, author of Made Like Martha: Good News for the Woman Who Gets Things Done. Katie is a self-described modern-day Martha who struggled with the well-known story of two women with two different approaches to life in Luke 10. Have you ever read the story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10? It\u2019s a story of two women named Martha and Mary. In one particular situation, Martha worked to get her home prepared to offer hospitality while her sister, Mary sat at Jesus\u2019 feet. When Martha asked Jesus to instruct Mary to help, Jesus answered with the following words: \u201cMy dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all of these details. There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it and it will not be taken from her.\u201d (Luke 10:41-42 NLT) Too many of us have read this story and walked away with the conclusion that Jesus was criticizing Martha for trying to get things done. However, Katie challenges us to consider that Jesus didn\u2019t condemn Martha\u2019s method. Rather, Jesus invited her to change her mindset. Instead of being worried and distracted, Martha was encouraged to experience Jesus\u2019 inner peace instead of trying to live up to unrealistic expectations. So, if you\u2019re made like Martha and you\u2019re tired of trying to do it all, live up to unrealistic expectations or you\u2019re beating yourself up for not being perfect, today\u2019s conversation is just for you.   Join today\u2019s conversation and listen as Katie and I discuss: How to stop beating yourself up for being a hard-working Martha; How to say \u201cyes,\u201d \u201cno\u201d and most importantly, when to ask for help; How to swap out trying to balance our lives and learn how to \u201csteward\u201d our lives instead; Helpful tips to enjoy being made like Martha and get things done without getting burnt out.
