What happens when serving God becomes a source of stress, frustration, and distraction instead of joy and fulfillment? In Episode 4 of "Essentials in Leadership," Duane Sheriff teaches why it's important to maintain "the good part" in our relationship with Jesus. Through the story of Martha and Mary, Duane shows that while serving is important and necessary, it can become unhealthy when we neglect to sit at the feet of Jesus and cultivate a close relationship with Him.
Jesus told Martha that Mary had chosen "the good part," meaning a focused relationship with Him that would not be taken away. The "one thing" is not the only thing in life, but it is the essential thing that makes every other part of life and leadership work properly. When we lose our connection with Jesus, ministry, work, and relationships can become stressful, distracting, and driven by human effort instead of grace. This episode encourages leaders to protect their first love, develop healthy spiritual rhythms, and keep Jesus at the center of every area of life. #firstlove #leadership #leadershipskills #leadershiptips #leadershipskills #marthaandmary #servantheart #godfirst #graceandtruth #duanesheriff #leaders #christianteaching #christianliving
