We’re talking to the girl who feels like she has to be the perfect Christian. We’ve been there too—trying to say the right thing, pray the perfect prayer, and never mess up. But that pressure? It’s exhausting. We open up about the ways we’ve struggled with perfectionism in our own faith and how God has gently reminded us that His grace isn’t something we can earn. Together, we’re breaking down lies, uncovering truth, and choosing freedom over performance. If you’ve ever felt like you had to have it all together, this one’s for you.
