You’re a Mary
A “Mary” is someone who is deeply in touch with their emotions, thoughtful, creative, and relationship-oriented. They prioritize sitting at Jesus’ feet, listening, and soaking in His presence. While their deep love and sensitivity are strengths, they may struggle with overthinking and letting go of emotions. Marys often prefer to serve behind the scenes rather than speak out. If sharing their faith feels intimidating, they are encouraged to grow in confidence and learn to tell their testimony. Learn more here.
You’re a Martha
A “Martha” is logical, organized, and goal-oriented, prioritizing facts over feelings. Marthas are excellent at staying composed in stressful situations, solving problems, and maintaining order. However, they may struggle to slow down, rest, and truly listen to others, sometimes appearing impatient or uncaring. To grow spiritually, Marthas are encouraged to spend more time in prayer and scripture meditation, learning to balance action with presence.
