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 returned to my home church over and over again, after loving all her messages and stories, I had to buy the book. I am half way through it already and enjoying sitting down with a candle burning in the background and reading this before bed. If you are looking for an easy-to-read book that will challenge you and strengthen your relationship with God, you’ve found it. Thank you Megan

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.

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 stated 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 and worries to the Lord. I did just that. I did great! I was vulnerable felt safe in trusting the Lord. I can’t recommend a book more.
