Do you ever feel like you're going round and round with the same issues? Have you ever wondered, " Why am I not more_____ by now?” Have you ever wondered why you struggle to be a “better” Christian?

In this episode, I sit down with the inspiring Megan Fate Marshman to discuss her new book, Relaxed: Walking with the God Who's Not Worried About a Thing. Together, we explore the comforting idea of a God who remains steady in our anxieties, imperfections, and real-life struggles. Megan shares how letting go of self-reliance brings true peace.

Our conversation focuses on the power of honest prayer and surrender, redefining anxiety as a place where God meets us. Megan and I share stories about how raw, genuine prayers can deepen our connection with Him. We encourage listeners to view prayer as a space for authenticity, where even our wandering thoughts can reveal what we need to bring before God.

The episode closes with a touching reflection on experiencing God’s love by bringing our true selves to Him. Plus, there’s a special opportunity to win Megan’s book-simply share this episode on social media and tag me @donnaajones.
