For Christians who've tried secular meditation apps and felt something missing — or who've been told meditation isn't "biblical" — Live From Rest offers guided sessions rooted in Scripture and the way of Jesus.^1
A UK family team — Dr. Steve Smith, Joshua Luke Smith, and Lucinda Smith — built customizable spoken-word meditations on gratitude, joy, and freedom from anxiety, anger, shame, and addiction. You choose the voice, the music or silence, and the length, so a session can fit morning, a lunch break, or the minutes before sleep.^1 The meditations pair breathwork with Scripture. Steve, a medical doctor, gives particular care to the freedom collection, with prayers of confession and repentance.^2
Most of us live for rest. Jesus invites us to live from rest. Alongside the app, the team offers free courses on Sabbath, solitude, and simplicity, a podcast, and guides on biblical meditation.^3 Joshua, a poet and spoken-word artist, is the author of This Is the Main Event.^4
Live From Rest is a registered UK charity. The app, courses, podcast, and downloads are free.^1 Users describe the sessions as helping them quiet their minds, sleep, and connect with Jesus.^5
