What is the difference between a simple choice and a true test of faith? In this episode of The Carpenter Shop, host Jeff Dixon explores the story of Mary Magdalene’s encounter with the resurrected Jesus. Using her immediate response as a powerful example, Jeff challenges our tendency to postpone what God asks of us.
Join us as we examine the nature of genuine obedience—the kind that requires sacrifice and immediate action, unlike a child simply choosing a treat. Discover why Jesus’s entire life was the ultimate model of obedience and how we are called to follow that example today. If you’ve ever struggled with procrastination in your faith, this message is a crucial reminder that when God speaks, the time to act is now.
