Welcome to the brand new Blackbird Mission studio! It's not perfect, we couldn't find half our equipment, we're using borrowed carpet squares, and we threw this set together in a week. But we hit record anyway, because THIS is the message: It's not perfect, do it anyway. If you're about to quit something (a business, a ministry, a relationship, a dream) because it's not perfect yet, this episode is for you. Daron unpacks why perfection is a lie, why progress is God's actual standard, and why failure is just feedback, not the end. WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER: ⚡️Why perfection is one of the enemy's greatest tools against you ⚡️The real difference between God's standard and the lie in your head ⚡️Why failure isn't failure—it's just feedback ⚡️How being "in process" is actually profound good news ⚡️Why the day you say "I'm fully formed" is the day you begin to die ⚡️How God gives you ideas He wants you to borrow ⚡️What to do when all you see is your long list of failures ⚡️Jesus' simple command: Go. Start. Begin. Now. This is a solo episode recorded in the brand new studio, and it's raw, real, and exactly what you need to hear if perfectionism has been holding you back.
