When Faith Feels Like a Chore and God Feels Far... | Faith Friday ep. 11

In this heartfelt episode of 'Faith Fridays,' host Jeanine Amapola shares her personal struggles with maintaining a consistent spiritual life amid the chaos of motherhood and a busy schedule. She reflects on how her quiet times have changed since having a baby, admitting that distractions and lack of discipline often pull her away from God. Drawing from the story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10, she emphasizes that intimacy with God—represented by Mary sitting at Jesus' feet—is more essential than busyness or productivity. Jeanine challenges listeners to reevaluate their motives: are they seeking God for genuine relationship, or for external validation, especially in the age of social media? She encourages practical, flexible ways to connect with God—even in silence, during commutes, or through prayer in the shower—reminding everyone that God is patient and always waiting, not angry. The episode culminates in a powerful reflection on Mary anointing Jesus’ feet with expensive perfume, symbolizing a costly, selfless love that prioritizes Jesus above all else. Jeanine calls listeners to make Jesus worth it—not just in words, but in daily choices, sacrifices, and intentional moments of stillness.
