Did Jesus really tell us to be perfect? In this episode, we take a deep dive into Matthew 5:48 and challenge the traditional translation of the word "perfect." What if Jesus wasn’t calling us to flawlessness but instead inviting us into wholeness and maturity? We explore the Greek and Hebrew meanings behind teleios and tamim, uncovering a message that could change how you view your faith journey.

Join us as we break down misconceptions, discuss how this verse has led to unrealistic expectations for many Christians, and offer a fresh, freeing perspective on what Jesus truly meant. Plus, a look ahead to our next discussion on hypocrisy in Matthew 6.
