Do you ever get so focused on meeting others’ needs that you ignore your own? We’re often like Martha, who was too busy taking care of things that she forgot the most important thing – letting Jesus speak to her (see Luke 10:38–42). Friend, you need to let God pour into you before you pour into others.
Watch this short clip from session 1 of our Lifeline to Hope Self-Study, our online ministry training course. Dr. Eric Scalise, the lead course trainer, discusses how God often works in you before He works through you – and shares our prayer for you as you go through this helpful course.
