In Week 2 of the Red Letter Challenge, Pastor Eric reminds us that following Jesus doesn’t start with hustle—it starts with being. Before we can do what Jesus calls us to do, we’re invited to abide in Him, rest in His presence, and delight in the relationship He’s already won for us by the cross and the empty tomb.
Through the story of Mary and Martha, we’re challenged to stop measuring our value by what we produce and instead receive what Jesus actually wants: us. This message offers practical rhythms for “being with Jesus” today—Scripture, solitude, worship, and Sabbath—so our lives are shaped by Him before they’re spent for Him.
