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.

Learn spiritual growth practices for your daily life that remove your own anxious striving and center you on the One who was never worried about a thing.

People describe Jesus in a lot of different ways, but have you ever thought of Him as relaxed? This doesn't mean that Jesus didn't grieve or become angry, but the Gospels portray Him as never in a hurry to be anywhere other than where He was, trusting and obeying His Father.

Could the same be said of you? Are you relaxed? You can be. We long to know peace, purpose, and contentment, but life's stresses, the world's discouragements, and our own striving for growth often get in the way.

You can know a lot about Jesus and not know him at all.

We're not meant to simply know a lot of facts about Jesus. Truly knowing someone requires personal knowledge coming from being with someone over time and building trust. Knowing about someone is just the first step toward truly knowing them. It's the same with God: we come to know Him personally when we spend time with Him, when we build trust in Him, when we share our life with Him.

Join Megan Fate Marshman in this eight-week invitation to respond to and really get to know Jesus in a personal and intimate way. This study through the Gospel of John will focus on dissecting His seven I Am statements, where we come to learn what Jesus wants us to know most about His character and love for us.

This study guide has everything you need for a full Bible study experience, including:

• The study guide itself--with discussion questions, group activities, personal Bible study, a Gospel of John reading plan, scripture memory cards, and coloring pages.
• An individual access code to stream all eight video sessions online. (You don't need to buy a DVD!)
