Publisher Description
Read by the author.
We often try to do a lot for God--without him. Relaxed is a call to let go of spiritual performance, reject our cultural tendency to live under pressure, and find freedom to walk with God and toward God, one gentle step at a time.
Jesus was never in a hurry to be anywhere other than where he was, trusting and obeying his Father. Could the same be said of us? We long to know peace, purpose, and contentment, but life's stresses, the world's discouragements, and our own striving for growth get in the way.
In Relaxed, pastor and teacher Megan Fate Marshman explores what it means to set aside our addiction to trying to figure everything out and relish a slower, compelling, powerful, and relaxed life with God. As Megan takes us word by word through Proverbs 3:5-6, she helps us discover:
The joy of a continual, intimate relationship with GodWhat God calls us to do with the burden of shame and guiltWhat it looks like to be relaxed in the midst of grief, financial stress, mistakes, and fatigueThe freedom and forgiveness of being found "in Christ"How to incorporate rhythms of walking with God into our everyday routines
God never intended for us to be in control. As we lean away from our own understanding and into an intentionally relaxed spiritual life, we join Jesus in trusting a God who knows what he is doing--and isn't worried about a thing.
Customer Reviews
Reconciled. Reconciled. Reborn
I kept being reminded and aware of delicate and loving correction of the Father when disappointed at my current reality. A reconciliation with my self and with Jesus.
This book brought me back to my a childhood like faith and conversations with God that I thought I needed to “mature” into being more Christ like.
The essence here is another perspective of shared pain, shared loved and shared reality.
I’ll probably journal for a few months on all the different aspects of simple gospel I had missed
On Repeat
I’ve listened to this book twice already. I love that Megan narrated it herself. Her voice is so calming and adds so much depth to the text. I have this book in written and audio form and the audio is my favorite. This is really good book. You should buy it and listen more than once.
