Shifting Your Focus to See God with Abby McDonald

We are so grateful for review of The Martha + Mary Show. Here is a 5-star review from Liz L.:

Two of my favorite authors have come together to show both sides of the coin. Are you more like Martha? (I am!) Or are you more like Mary? Either way, you can gain great insight and wisdom through the perspective of each from Katie and Lee’s lens. You get to see inside deeper how each of us is made, wired, and just how God wanted it to be. There is a great balance between the two as they share personal stories, scripture, and show the flip side to what the other said showing that you are not alone in this journey. Very relatable!

If you are interested in sponsoring the show, contact Katie for more details. We take on a limited numbers of sponsors.
