Courses & small groups
We hope you will be blessed by our courses and other resources that work well in groups or by yourself.
1) IDENTITY - THE KEY TO FREEDOM
a six-part course led by Lucinda Smith
Join Lucinda for this transformative course that will help you find lasting freedom by knowing your identity
Use this 6-part video series, whether alone or - ideally - in a small group, to find freedom by knowing who you are in relation to God and also through an understanding of the spiritual battle we all face.
2) RHYTHMS OF REST - SABBATH, SOLITUDE AND SIMPLICITY
a three-part course with Joshua Luke Smith
God has designed rhythms for our lives. Learn to love the rhythms of rest he has given us
We are delighted to give you this 3-part series, led by Joshua Smith, which is ideal for small group discussion. These important spiritual disciplines are so often overlooked, yet they are so beneficial to our mental and spiritual well being.
3) THE PRACTICE OF CHRISTIAN MEDITATION
the ‘why’ and the ‘how’
Dr Steve Smith and his son Joshua Luke Smith discuss Christian meditation
In this two part video series, Joshua Luke Smith and his father Dr. Steve Smith (the co-founders of Live From Rest) discuss the Biblical roots of Christian meditation and contemplation, whilst also looking at the scientific evidence for the benefits and tips for its practice.
4) SINGLE SMALL GROUP SESSIONS
ideal for in-person or online use
We are pleased to have released our first resource for small group meetings, whether in person or on line. The pattern of these resources is for a Bible reading and discussion, to be followed by a meditation and prayer. Allow about 30 minutes (or longer if desired).
We plan to release more over coming months.
A study plus meditation, to help us to find rest in God in the midst of challenge, strife and difficulty

Join Dr. Steve to listen to our short podcasts with reflections and interviews, that encourage us to examine the ancient art of ‘being’! The podcasts include interviews with numerous guests with some great insights.
