Summary

Ruth Chou Simons, author and artist, is here to help us stop the endless cycle of striving and live in the light of God's grace. Our world is brainwashed by the idea that we have to "do, do, do" to find our identity. To run ourselves ragged by achieving all of the awards or finding our worth in our following count or success. But that is the opposite of Jesus' true gospel. This gentle yet challenging episode is based off Ruth's new book, "When Strivings Cease", releasing into the world on October 12th.
