#181 - Not Good Enough


Listen Later

Do you ever feel like no matter what you do—it’s not enough?
➡ You plan your meals but think you should be tracking macros.
➡ You walk, but feel guilty you’re not running.
➡ You pray or read your Bible, but tell yourself it’s not long enough or deep enough.

This thought—“What I’m doing isn’t good enough”—is one of the enemy’s sneakiest lies. It convinces us that success only comes from perfection or doing it all, and it robs us of the joy and progress in small, faithful steps.

But here’s the truth: success in weight-loss, health, and faith doesn’t come from doing everything perfectly—it comes from showing up with consistency, grace, and trust that God multiplies your small efforts.

💡 In This Episode You’ll Learn:
  • How the “not enough” thought shows up in weight-loss, exercise, and nutrition

  • Why perfectionism makes us quit before we see results

  • How this lie shows up in friendships, household tasks, jobs, and even our relationship with God

  • What God actually says about “enoughness” (and why He never asks for perfection)

  • 5 practical steps to replace “not enough” with truth and grace

    📖 Faith Anchor

    Colossians 3:23“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.”
    God never measures “enough” by perfection. He delights in our faithfulness, not flawless performance.

    ✨ Key Takeaway

    You don’t need to do it all.
    You don’t need to do it perfectly.
    You only need to do the next faithful step.

    Consistency + grace is what leads to real change—both in your health and in your walk with God.
