Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Kate on February 10, 2025

This book stands out as one of the best aids to the Christian life I’ve ever read. While other good Christian books out there do tell you that you can’t just work harder to do better—you need Christ—the reality is we are all so forgetful. Marshman’s book is in pace with our hearts, reminding the rea......more

Goodreads review by Jean-Ann on August 19, 2024

I absolutely loved how real and vulnerable the author was throughout the book. I’m definitely recommending to friends, family and mentees! Megan graciously and fully reminds her readers that while walking with the Lord can be messy on our part, it doesn’t have to be scary. Truth in Him in the good a......more

Goodreads review by Kristie on September 25, 2024

This is a book I will refer back to, buy for friends, suggest to others and keep on my own shelf. Dallas Willards one word description of Jesus as “relaxed” captured me when I first heard it - I guess because it’s the opposite of what success is. The most profound message of this read for me was the......more

She also exudes joy and you can’t help but smile while listening. 4 starts because for actual content, there were 2 stories that were kind......more
