In this conversation, Rachael Groll explores the theme of finding stillness and rest in faith, contrasting the pressures of performance with the invitation to simply be present with Jesus. Through the story of Mary and Martha, she emphasizes the importance of choosing stillness over striving and highlights the value of being seen and received by God. The discussion culminates in an invitation to deeper connection through Bible Study Live, where participants can experience the peace of being fully loved by God.
