## Resource

Many Christians wrestle with anxiety, discouragement, and even thoughts of despair. Our performance-driven culture distorts our view of God and grace, leaving us feeling exhausted and hollow. In this episode, Jon interviews David Zahl about his new book: “The Big Relief.” We discuss how grace reorients our lives, bringing joy, purpose, and rest for weary souls. If you’re craving real relief, this conversation is for you. DAVID’S BOOK: The Big Relief - The Urgency of Grace for a Worn-Out World DAVID’S MINISTRY: Mockingbird JOIN THE THEOCAST COMMUNITY!
