Publisher's summary

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 God
  • What God calls us to do with the burden of shame and guilt
  • What it looks like to be relaxed in the midst of grief, financial stress, mistakes, and fatigue
  • The 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.

Learning to let go

I have absolutely loved this book. I have shared it with my friends. There are chapters, like Chapter 4, that I have listened to several times because they finally addressed where I am at in my life and where I feel my shame and guilt and inadequacies that have made God feel distant and unreachable… spoiler alert, He is not. This book was an answer to my prayers.

I’m now more Relaxed in the Lord

Megan has a way to relate everything she has to not only her life but mine! I know I need to trust in the Lord, but Megan’s tips allowed me to take this walk with Jesus step by step. I leaned about myself and am being a more relaxed wife, mother, daughter, friend, and teacher.

a great reminder to let God lead you in life

best takeaway is asking, "How would Jesus live my life?" live life with all the faith and love that Jesus had

Relationship and Grace

Megan has such a gift of communication and an inviting spirit, as if I was sitting down with her on her couch with a cup of coffee. No judgement, just Grace, just like Jesus. And for the first time I have a new view of what it will look like to stand before Christ, no longer in my shame and guilt but that with expectancy like the bride as she stands before her groom with utter excitement about what is about to happen. And that’s all because if Jesus and Him swapping resumes with me! I can’t wait!!!
