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.

Megan has a gracious way of leading me back to Christ. Understanding that I don’t have to “figure it all out” on my own was a radical idea. I can trust in Him. Such a good book!
Walking through the promises of Proverbs 3:5-6, Megan Fate Marshman interweaves poignant truth, heart wrenching stories, and a bit of humor to point the reader to Jesus. We can RELAX and rest in our Father because He alone makes our paths straight. He knows our past, our present, and our future, and He is trustworthy.
I am only a few chapters in this book and the words that best describes what I think is “Life Giving”. It not only has such deep and meaningful chapters but helpful ways to apply it to daily life so that it’s not just something to read and forget it’s a book to change lives! Can’t recommend enough!!
Trust in the Lord. I’m so glad I pre ordered this book. It arrive on release day. My high school student asked me if she could read it first. Her stared back to school and was feeling anxious about Sophomore year. I can’t express how grateful we are for the timing. Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Just in time. I went ahead and bought to audio book on audible as well. The writer is equally a great reader and wonderful writer. I had some anxious energy leading up to a meeting and the voice of Megan telling me to trust in the Lord and her saying it’s going to be ok. She also reminded me to breathe. I was reminded to take my worries to the Lord. I did just that. I was vulnerable felt safe in trusting the Lord. I can’t recommend a book more.
I’m taking my time to take it all in! So much wisdom and insight. So thankful for this book! I have bought 3 other copies as gifts and those people have now bought copies for more gifts for others. Highly recommend!
Megan does it again!!! She writes from the heart and you can feel like you are in a conversation while reading. This is based on proverbs “Trust in the Lord and lean not on your own understanding. “. I needed it right now. Highly recommend!!
Relaxed is a wonderful read! The book will make you laugh, it will make you cry, and it challenges you to let Jesus lead in a world that tells you that you can do it all yourself. Filled with scripture, the Bible is ever present in each chapter, really showcasing how God truly is with us through it all. The Author feels like a friend, vulnerable and filled with hope, guiding us back to what’s most important, our relationship with Christ.
Megan’s writing style is very personal and helpful. And her transparency and great sense of humor really make it a delight to read her books.
