Welcome back to another podcast episode! if you’re new, its great to have you here. This is a faith based podcast, (no worries if you feel it’s not for you). I’m aiming to share stories, insight and musings on the role of faith in everyday life. No frills faith kind of thing, where I talk about finding clarity and greater purpose in the chaos. Finding rest and renewal in the toughest seasons. Today’s Episode Outline If you’re a fellow perfectionist on the path of proving yourself, I see you. It is incredibly tough to come to terms with the idea that we are precious in our perfectly imperfect state, particularly in a world that will try and lay guilt on us at every turn. In this episode we unpack our perfectionist tendencies, particularly in the context of faith, what they truly boil down to and what we do to compensate for this ‘not good enough’ mentality. I will be showing you what letting go really means and how truly cherished you are in God’s eyes, without feeling the need to earn his favour, no matter who you are. How the role of nature can inspire us to see ourselves differently. How we can walk in courage and strength, adopting grace for ourselves in an unrelenting world…
