Here’s a 5-star review from Tabitha:
Great practical podcast. Appeals to Marys and Marthas of any age and life stage! Love the great practical truths this podcast delivers in each episode. Truly a great way to glean from the “being” of Mary and the “doing” of Martha for the perfect portion of ABIDING IN CHRIST while GETTING THINGS DONE! Love Katie and Lee and their hearts for women wired just like them and completely different, too!”
