You Don't Have To Be Perfect Podcast with Vanessa Luu

We’ve completed 7 chapters of Leviticus — and I’m blown away.

The book makes one thing abundantly clear: Israel will sin. Even when they don’t mean to.
And honestly… so will we.

That means the priests were always busy — constantly offering sacrifices for guilt, for sin, for cleansing.
But then I read this:

“If the entire Israelite community sins by violating one of the Lord’s commands, but the people don’t realize it, they are still guilty.”
— Leviticus 4:13

“Through this process, the priest will purify the people, making them right with the Lord, and they will be forgiven.”
— Leviticus 4:20

And it hit me — that’s why Jesus had to come.
That’s why He is our forever High Priest.

Because without Him standing in that role — without His perfect, once-for-all sacrifice — we could never be made right with God.

Leviticus shows us what Jesus fulfills completely.
We still sin, even unintentionally.
But grace still covers, completely. 🙌

Leviticus Chapter 6!

It seems the heart of this chapter is the importance of keeping the fire in our hearts lit for the Lord. I’ll say again, when knowing God intimately becomes the true desire of your heart, it’s much easier to walk in His ways. His truth overpowers the darkness, and we live in His promises.

Leviticus chapter 5 today.

I noticed an undeniable theme as I read Leviticus 5. The people will always be sinning, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and therefore will always need a sacrifice. They will need perpetual sacrifice, which points us all to Jesus, because Jesus is our perpetual sacrifice and priest. Woo hoo!!

I talk about Charlie Kirk in this episode.

From chapter 3 of Leviticus we can know that God cares deeply for His people and wants them to be in His presence. We can be grateful that Jesus paid it all and we can deepen our understanding of God.

Leviticus chapter 2!

Sometimes God repeats Himself because we need to really hear Him. 📖✨

In Leviticus 2, God’s instructions come with a rhythm—a reminder that His Word is worth listening to, again and again.

🎧 On Episode 2 of The You Don’t Have to Be Perfect Podcast, we’ll talk about why God repeats things in Scripture and what He might be repeating in your life today.

💬 Reflect with me: What has God been repeating in your life lately?

Have you ever wondered why Jesus is called our healer when so many people remain suffering and sick for years? I have. I have prayed countless times to Jehova-Rapha, the God who heals, to heal my Mom, my mother-in-law, myself, and many others. They remain sick, and so do I.

Waiting for a solution in times of sickness, misery, or affliction tests our faith. I'll go far enough to say that waiting for healing is where our faith is forged. Does it exist? If so, it will grow stronger. If it doesn't, we may need to see if we ever had it to begin with.
