How Perfectionism Leads You Away From Jesus

For years, I struggled with perfectionism, chasing an impossible standard that only left me feeling empty and exhausted. As I was growing in Christ, I realized that perfectionism is just another form of legalism. Both demand what only Jesus has already fulfilled. In this video I share my journey from striving to achieve to embracing God’s grace, and it has changed everything. So if you have struggled with perfectionism, legalism, imposing such unachievable and unnecessary standards on yourself and others, this video is for you!
