What does it mean to truly give from the heart? In this inspiring episode of My Bible Life with Vanessa Upkins, we dive deep into Mark 12:41–44 — the story of a poor widow who gave everything she had. Jesus watched the crowd giving at the temple and highlighted this unnamed woman’s small offering as the greatest gift, because it came from a place of complete trust and surrender.

This Bible study will challenge your understanding of sacrifice, faith, and true generosity. It’s not about how much you give but how much it costs you. Whether you’re navigating a season of financial difficulty, spiritual growth, or deeper commitment, this message will meet you where you are and call you higher.

📖 In this episode, you will learn:

• What this short passage reveals about Jesus’ heart for the overlooked and marginalized?

• Why was the widow’s offering more valuable than all the wealthy donations?

• How can we apply this lesson to our own lives today?

• Why does authentic faith often require us to give beyond comfort?

  💬 Challenge Questions:

  1. What does “giving your all” look like in your current season?

  2. Have you ever held back because you thought what you had wasn’t valuable enough?

  3. How can you give sacrificially this week—time, talent, or treasure?

  🙏 Let’s live a faith that gives like the widow did — not out of abundance, but from a heart of total surrender.

My Bible Life Podcast: Mark 12:18-27 - The Sadducees and Resurrection

In this episode, we explore Mark 12:18-27; the Sadducees challenge Jesus with a question about the resurrection. Jesus corrects their misunderstanding, explaining that people will be like angels in the resurrection and not marry. He affirms the resurrection by referencing God's declaration when He said to Moses, "I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob," showing God is of the living and not the God of the dead.
