Description

You know what I think one of the biggest temptations for Christians today is?
It's not drinking, drugs, sex, etc.
It's the temptation to look perfect.

To have the perfect body, the perfect friend group, the perfect life.
It is driven from comparison, and it is killing us.

In this episode, I talk about the unspoken pressure so many Christians feel to perform and appear "put together," and how perfectionism can creep into our relationship with God. We talk about where that pressure really comes from, how it affects our peace, and how to break free from it through ten tips you can apply to your life TODAY!

If you've ever found yourself suddenly obssesed with the idea of being perfect from a worldly standpoint, you are not alone, this episode is for you!
