Episode 21 of Challenges explores perfectionism and religious scrupulosity within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We examine theological concepts like "Be ye therefore perfect," cultural pressures around appearance and achievement, and the tension between works and grace. Drawing from Mormon Stories interviews and BYU Studies research, we look at both healthy and toxic forms of perfectionism, their impact on mental health, and pathways toward self-compassion and grace-centered faith.
