222: No Shame, No Regrets | Spencer van Der Walt

About this episode

The episode discusses the theme of complete devotion to Jesus through the story of Mary of Bethany's sacrifice.

What would you give up for Jesus? Mary of Bethany poured out a year's worth of wages—her most precious possession—to anoint Jesus before His crucifixion. While the disciples criticized her "waste," Jesus saw her heart: complete devotion, total surrender, holding nothing back. This powerful story from Matthew 26 challenges us with profound questions: Is Jesus truly the coronated King of your heart, or just a comfortable version that fits your preferences? What does complete obedience look like in your life? Here's the piercing question from a worship song: "Would I die for You like You died for me?" The beautiful truth? Even if you're struggling with these questions, Jesus knows exactly where you are. He hasn't given up on you. All you need to do is surrender it all to Him—it was His from the beginning anyway. "Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be" (Luke 12:34).
