Episode 119: Leading Out of His Strength: Ceasing to Strive with Ruth Chou Simons

Do you find yourself worn out, feeling like you are running on empty? Whether your work is centered around our household, business, ministry, education or out in the community, most of us can relate to that feeling of exhaustion that results from constant striving. Could God’s grace satisfy our insatiable hunger to be more, do better? Could God’s grace lead us to rest? In this episode, we explore these questions.   Ruth Chou Simons is our guest on today’s episode. The theme of Ruth’s newest book, When Strivings Cease (released in October, 2021), will bring you a sense of relief and insights to how to receive the gift God is always offering. Ruth is a bestselling and award-winning author of several books — including GraceLaced, Beholding and Becoming, and Foundations. She is an artist, entrepreneur, and speaker, using each of these platforms to spiritually sow the Word of God into people’s hearts. Ruth and her husband, Troy, are grateful parents to six boys – their greatest adventure.   ONLINE - https://ruthchousimons.com https://gracelaced.com SOCIAL - Facebook - @GraeLaced - https://www.facebook.com/gracelaced Instagram - @RuthChouSimons - https://www.instagram.com/ruthchousimons/   BOOKS/PODCAST - https://ruthchousimons.com/books/ GraceLaced Podcast   Subscribe to the Living Wholehearted monthly newsletter at www.livingwholehearted.com to receive ongoing resources and learn about all our services, from books, professional counseling to coaching and leadership development.   Instagram @TerraMattson @Living_Wholehearted @MyCourageousGirls #living_wholeheartedpodcast #shrinkingtheintegritygap Facebook @MyCourageousGirls @WeAreLivingWholehearted Websites LivingWholehearted.com TerraMattson.com MyCourageousGirls.com MyCourageousBook.com   Resources Shrinking the Integrity Gap (book) Shrinking the Integrity Gap e-Course Courageous: Being Daughters Rooted in Grace (book) Dear Mattsons (youtube series)
