Perfectionism vs. Excellence: Are You Chasing God or Control?
The Mask of Perfectionism — are you chasing excellence for God’s glory, or are you really chasing control? Perfectionism isn’t just a personality trait — it’s a weight that keeps us stuck in a works-based mindset, focused more on what we accomplish than what God is doing through us. In this episode, we’re pulling back the mask to expose the truth: perfectionism isn’t about holiness — it’s about self. We’ll explore how the desire to control outcomes, avoid failure, and meet impossible standards can quietly become an idol. What if the pursuit of "excellence" isn’t what God is asking of you? What if He’s asking you to release the need to prove yourself and trust Him instead? Join us as we unpack the heart behind perfectionism, the role of the Holy Spirit in breaking free, and how renewing your mind daily is the key to walking in God’s grace — not your own strength.
Thanks for joining us as we navigate life together, leaning into grace and truth every step of the way. Let’s grow, heal, and walk closer with the Lord—together.
