Starting Place with Elizabeth Woodson

Real Life Discipleship: Overwhelm with Ruth Chou Simons


Listen Later

In this episode, Elizabeth sits down with Ruth Chou Simons to talk about what it means to live unhurried in a world that constantly demands more. Together they wrestle with the pressures women face to produce and perform, how the gospel offers true rest, and why God’s creation points us back to His faithful care. Ruth also shares how art, creativity, and slowing down have shaped her own walk with Jesus.

Main Takeaways:
  • Small daily choices shape long-term faithfulness.
  • Striving in our own strength exhausts us—true rest is found in God.
  • Faithfulness often occurs in hidden places, not just in visible achievements.
  • Awe, beauty, and truth draw us back to God’s care and glory.
