The Pursuit of Perfection



It is important to understand that we all have a need for perfection within us. We have that desire to be perfect and have everything right. But when people present themselves as being perfect or having everything figured out, we know that it is not true. That’s because we are not perfect ourselves and we are not less than anyone else. We are all in the same boat together, being humans. So, we need to figure out how to make this life work- how to conquer this need that we must be perfect. That need is a need that is self-imposed.



In the podcast episode I mention a sermon. Here is that link.



In a sense perfection is what God expects.  He expects us to obey Him, to follow His will. In a sense He wants us to be perfect and that is the reason He had to send Jesus.



We are not perfect.  



The Dangers of Perfectionism



We all want to grow and improve our lives over time. But perfectionism can get in the way. So, in this podcast we will be talking about recognizing the need we have to be perfect and make everything perfect around us, the dangers in trying to become perfect, the harmful effects of perfectionism, and what the Bible teaching us about Christ’s example.



Do you know how to recognize the areas in your life you are trying to perfect? How does this change the way you view perfection in your life? Would you like to know more about these questions?  



With the insights from this episode, you will be able to look at your own life and see if you are being a perfectionist and how to see yourself in a better light. This episode will encourage you to pursue the life God has planned for you and live your life to the fullest.
