Summary

Artist and speaker Ruth joins Blake to talk about helping women find a better way of living than the world’s ever-changing, never-enough, try-harder standard. Ruth encourages us to find freedom from the constant quest of trying to better ourselves and rest in the truth that God’s grace is enough. Listen in as they discuss feelings of wanting to belong, inadequacy, and comparison, and how we can ditch that knowing we’re favored by God.

Ruth is the author of When Strivings Cease - available everywhere now!
