Episode 90: Mary, the Mother of Jesus (Heroes for All, Part 6)

What happens after the manger scene?  Well, the baby Jesus doesn't stay there--and therefore, neither does his mother, Mary.  In our ongoing series looking at models of faith, courage, and love from the Bible called Heroes for All, pastors Erica, Sarah, and Steve look at Mary the Mother of Jesus throughout her appearances in the Gospels.  She is not only the woman who sings about God's table-turning power in the Magnificat, but she is also the one who persuades Jesus to respond when the wine runs out at the wedding in Cana, and she is there through the ordeal of the cross.  Mary compels us to see the human faces of need around us, and she gives us an example of what it looks like to weep with those who weep and to share the heartaches and sufferings of others even when there is no way for us to "fix" the problem at hand.  So join us in this next conversation as we learn compassion, courage, and the ministry of presence from Mary, the Mother of Jesus.
