Girls Night #253: Stop Trying to be the “Perfect” Christian (This is Important! Here’s Why…) — with Kimberly Stuart


Listen Later

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night!


I’m so excited about today’s episode. Today we’re talking about why it’s so important that we stop trying to be the “perfect” Christian.


Tell me if any of this sounds familiar to you:


You try to do all of the “right” things like pray and read your Bible, but sometimes it feels like you’re checking boxes off a to-do list rather than experiencing real intimacy with God. 


Or maybe you feel like you need to do X,Y, & Z, you fill in the blanks, in order to be a “good Christian” or person of faith.


Or, if you don’t have your quiet time (or whatever the thing is you feel you’re supposed to do), you feel like a bad Christian and that God must be disappointed in you. 


Does any of this resonate with you? If so, I want you to know you’re not alone and we’re going to work through this together. 


Our guest for today’s episode is Kimberly Stuart. Kim is a writer, speaker and podcaster. Her most recent book is called, Star for Jesus (And Other Jobs I Quit): Rediscovering the Grace that Sets Us Free. In it, she’s reminding us that our faith is not about trying to be good enough or doing all of the right things — instead, it’s about accepting the free gift of God’s grace. 


Kim is hilarious and warm and relatable and wise. I can’t wait for you to meet her.


One of my favorite quotes Kim says in the episode is this, “There is more than enough grace to cushion every single fall every single day.” Yes and amen to that! 


I hope this conversation reminds you how loved you are and that there’s room for everyone at God’s table! Okay, let’s dive in!
