Do you ever feel like no matter how hard you try, it's never enough?
That is the trap of perfectionism — and today, we're breaking it in Jesus' name.

In This Episode, I Share 3 Godly Ways to Break Free From the Trap of Perfectionism

1. How perfectionism really started

I talk about how the "never enough" mindset often begins in childhood and why so many of us end up replaying it in our health, habits, relationships, and spiritual lives.
This is where God begins healing the root.

Scripture:
"His grace is sufficient for you, for His power is made perfect in weakness." — 2 Corinthians 12:9

2. Why performance will never give you peace

The enemy uses pressure to exhaust us, guilt us, and push us into all-or-nothing living.
But Jesus leads us with peace, not pressure.

Scriptures:
"Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." — Matthew 11:28
"You are complete in Him." — Colossians 2:10

3. How to trade perfection for faithfulness

This is the real shift: choosing progress over perfection and trusting God in the small, steady steps.
Not flawless eating.
Not perfect workouts.
Not rigid routines.
Just faithfulness.

Foundational Scripture:
"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves submit again to a yoke of bondage…" — Galatians 5:1
