Bible teacher and international speaker Megan Fate Marshman offers her fresh voice and biblically rooted insights to a generation asking: How can I let go of my stress, shame, and discouragement and rest in God's presence?

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.

Relaxed is a tender, vulnerable book from a woman surprised by one of life's most painful losses, yet it is not a grief book. Megan Fate Marshman's husband, Randy, died unexpectedly in 2021, and the book is infused with Randy's wisdom, personality, walk with God, love for Megan and their boys, strength, and character, yet it is not about Randy either. This is a book about learning to fully trust God with everything we have and are, and how to relax into all of the moments of the life God gives us.
