Summary
Theologian Dallas Willard was once asked how he would describe Jesus in just 1 word. He replied with the word: relaxed. How can we learn to walk and live like Jesus in a world that wants us to go as fast as we can? What does it look like to deeply trust and surrender when we are walking through pain?
For author and pastor Megan Fate Marshman, those were hard questions to answer after losing her husband, Randy, suddenly to a heart attack. Learning to relax into Christ through the grief and loss was a challenge, but in it she learned to move at a Kingdom pace. She wrote her latest book, **Relaxed: Walking with the One Who Is Not Worried about a Thing**,as a way to help readers let go of spiritual performance and find freedom to walk towards God at a gentle pace.
In this episode, Aubrey and Megan discuss how to even begin to relax in the presence of Jesus in the midst of our suffering, what it looks like to walk with kids through their grief, and what leadership looks like when we are hurting.
If you find yourself caught in the wheel of doing instead of being with Jesus, this conversation will welcome you into the relaxing surrender of God's presence and the freedom to release all your cares to Him.

| 0:10.0 | But I also know that how to move forward can be the question that so many of you guys who are |
| 0:14.8 | listening to this or watching this on YouTube, you're asking that question currently as you're walking |
| 0:18.8 | through the valley. I know when I think about my own journey after losing my wife, Amanda, |

| 1:18.6 | First, I learned how to label all those feelings, and then I learned to say, no, this biblical truth is that God loves me, |
| 1:25.6 | that I am purposeful, that he put me here for a reason, |
| 1:29.3 | and I had to put that before my unworthiness that I was feeling. |
