About this episode

The episode discusses the misleading pursuits of perfection and how God invites us to seek deeper fulfillment.

What if the things we’re chasing aren’t actually the things that will satisfy us? The perfect home. The perfect body. The perfect life. The version of ourselves we think will finally make us enough. In this episode of The French Press, we’re talking about the “glamorous lies” we believe — and how God gently invites us to trade them for something real. Because what matters most isn’t what people see. It’s what God is doing in our hearts.
