A Powerful Invitation to Step Out of Self-Centered Stress and Into God-Centered Peace

Do you ever feel like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your own shoulders?

Do you catch yourself overthinking, overworking, or over-worrying about whether you're enough?

Free Me From Me is a refreshing invitation to let go of the exhausting pressure of self-focus and rediscover the rest, freedom, and joy found in a God-centered life.

About the Book

In Free Me From Me, pastor and storyteller Ryan Wekenman takes readers on a transformative journey out of the “me-maze” (the emotional and spiritual trap where self sits at the center) and toward a life grounded in God’s design.

Through engaging personal stories, biblical insight, and practical application, Ryan unpacks:

  • Why modern culture constantly pushes us toward self-obsession

  • The theological and psychological roots of self-centered living

  • Why the pressure to constantly “be enough” is crushing us

  • How the simple prayer “Lord, free me from me” unlocks peace, clarity, and joy

  • What it means to live with God—not self—at the center of the story

If you feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, overthinking, or striving, this book will help you step into a life where you finally exhale. Because the world no longer rests on your shoulders.
