Return to Jesus

An inspiring invitation for women to surrender the stress, anxiety, and overwhelm and rest in the presence of Jesus.

What do we do when the hustle and bustle in the world leaves us feeling overwhelmed, overcommitted, burdened, and burnt out? Where do we turn when we realize we’re running on empty? What do we do when we find ourselves struggling relationally? Or with woundings from our community we don’t know how to reconcile? And what about rest? The answers lie in the return.

In Return to Jesus, blogger Jen Thompson invites us to return to the One who gives us lungs to breathe and eyes to see all the beauty, heartache, and wonder that can be found in a single day. Using personal stories and scriptures, Jen offers guidance on how to disrupt the patterns and rhythms of life and embrace an eternal perspective that calls us out of the constant demands of our schedules, our time, our emotional capacity, and the expectations of the world pressing in.

Through practical tips, Jen helps us meet with Jesus daily and intentionally as we mindfully put him at the center of every space of our lives: personal, relational (friends and family), and collective (community and church).

When we learn how to be with Jesus in all things, and abide in His love, we experience restoration, peace, and the abundant life that is waiting for us in the presence of our Savior.
