Do you feel heavy or anxious? Work, kids, finances, the future, the past, and the state of the world can all threaten your joy, hope, and trust. Could a life of rest change everything? Moody author Rachel Booth Smith believes this is possible and is here to encourage us with her book Rest Assured: What the Creation Story Was Intended to Reveal about Trusting God.

Rachel has a contagious love for God’s Word. Her passion to teach accessible theology has led her to develop curriculum and leadership summits, write Bible studies, and teach. Rachel has a Master of Divinity degree from Pillar Seminary, where she learned to study the Bible in its original languages while being trained in ancient Near East context for both the Old and New Testament.

Another Moody author, September McCarthy, wraps up this hour with a resource to help homeschool families titled Hope for Your Homeschool: Start Strong, Stay the Course, and Finish with Joy.

As a homeschooling mom to ten children, September has encouraged and equipped families across the country on the Mom to Mom Podcast, the Dear Mom Podcast, at national conferences, and in her book Why Motherhood Matters. She can be found directing a large hybrid homeschool program, and creating homeschooling resources for her business, September and Co. September loves spending time with her grandchildren and ministering to all demographics of women in her community and around the world.
