Nicole & Trinity VS. Scrupulosity (God's Mercy VS. Spiritual Perfectionism) | Ep. 3


Listen Later

In today's episode, Nicole & Trinity take on scrupulosity, which is a kind of spiritual perfectionism and a subset of OCD. We don't take on the topic from a clinical perspective, but rather some underlying beliefs and God images that might dispose us toward a struggle with scrupulosity. We discuss God's goodness, mercy, and examples of His character found in literature.
