One of the ways, especially that those, you know, the dedicated Christians, which I'm assuming is a lot of the women listening in today and men, is those really dedicated to the faith.

And I mean, you wouldn't be listening to a Christian podcast if you weren't.

And yet there's this really weird pride that goes, I can do this.

You know, you listen to a sermon on prayer and you're going, your conscience is pricked. You feel like I'm not as I should be in prayer because you just said pray without ceasing and I take some breaks throughout the day. And then your

conscience is pricked and in order to relieve, I'm not as I should be. You'd make that decision

internally that says, I'm going to try a little harder. I can do this. I can get better at it.

And it's all this underlying thing. And it. And I think it's one of these great

temptations of the enemy that's a little bit shocking in the Christian faith.

We often try to do a lot for God and we often try to do it all without him. Well, wouldn't you

just love to let go of spiritual performance and reject the

cultural expectation to live under pressure and instead find freedom to walk with God one

gentle step at a time? Me too. Well Well today, author and Bible teacher Megan Marshman

explores what it means to set aside our addiction to trying to figure everything out

and instead relish a slower, compelling, powerful, and relaxed life with God.

So buckle up.

We are about to dive into Proverbs chapter 3 with Megan, so here we go.
