Do you ever feel so overwhelmed by the things you have to do you want to run away and scream? Asking for a friend.
Today Scharlee and Emily talk about doing less - how to do that and how that contributes to our ability to rest in the Lord. This concept sounds trite and easy, but it turns out, doing less can actually be quite a challenge in Western culture.
Verses we share in today's episode are Matthew 11:28-30 from The Message paraphrase, Psalm 37:7a (not 37:37 as Emily accidentally says, KJV), Psalm 116:7 (NIV), and Proverbs 4:5-6 (NIV).
Books we reference in the show are: The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer, and Teaching From Rest - A Homeschooler's Guide to Unshakable Peace by Sarah McKenzie.
Also, Scharlee mentions Susanna Wesley, mother of two famous sons, Charles and John Wesley, along with seventeen other children, ten of whom died before she did. To read more about this remarkable woman click here.
Finally, Emily misspoke when she called Dave Ramsey's class Money Wise, it is actually called Financial Peace University. More information about that can be found here.
