- Be Perfect? Understanding What Jesus Actually Meant | 009
Ever read "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect" (Matthew 5:48) and felt gut-punched by pressure and shame? You're not alone, friend.
In this episode, we peel back the layers of what perfection really means in God’s eyes—and spoiler alert—it’s not about flawlessness, performance, or checking all the spiritual boxes. It’s about fullness, maturity, and a heart rooted in love.
Join Leneé as she exposes the counterfeit perfectionism so many Christian women have unknowingly worshipped, and offers a grace-filled invitation to step into the kind of "perfect" God actually desires.
You'll learn:
- The surprising truth behind Matthew 5:48
- How to silence the inner critic and stop performing for approval
- Why your desire to please God isn’t failing—it’s being formed
- 5 powerful ways to shift your perspective from striving to surrender
It’s time to ditch the world’s definition of perfection and embrace the one that brings rest, freedom, and deep intimacy with Jesus.
🎧 Plus, don’t forget to take the Grace Scale Assessment linked in the show notes—it’s an eye-opener (in the best way).

Salvation is nearer than when we first believed… and you have a part to play in the body of Christ.
In this heartfelt episode, Lenee' Pezzano shares a raw and urgent message for believers: it’s time to wake up, step into your faith, and embrace your role in the body of Christ.
Drawing from Scripture, she explores how every one of us—every “joint” in the body—has a purpose in advancing God’s Kingdom, growing in spiritual maturity, and standing firm in the face of fear, procrastination, and perfectionism.
Learn how to feed the Spirit, walk in faith, and allow Christ’s nature to increase in you, so that together, the Church can rise strong in these challenging times.
This episode is a call to lean in, dig deeper, and take one faithful step at a time.
