Have you ever felt like you're constantly performing, always under the spotlight, and never truly at peace? Or that the pressure is all on you to maintain your image, be spiritual enough, and hold everything together? In Free Me from Me, pastor and author Ryan Wekenman uncovers the psychological, cultural, and spiritual traps that keep us focused on ourselves. Through relatable anecdotes and profound insights, he reveals how our obsession with self-improvement can lead us further into the "me-maze" of ourselves.

Ryan Wekenman has been an unmarried pastor for over a decade. He’s heard all the usual questions: “Are you dating anyone? Any wedding plans in the future?” But he knows the real question they’re asking is, “Hey, do you think you’ll be single for the rest of your life?” Ryan believes that singleness isn’t a curse to endure. Rather, it’s a gift to enjoy, even if at times it can be hard to see it that way. But he has discovered firsthand that we are often consumed by regrets or shame from the past, together with worry or fear of the future, making it feel impossible to find peace in the present.
