Overcoming Perfectionism as a Christian

The GoodLion Podcast

Today, we're diving deep into something I know a lot of us deal with: perfectionism.

That constant, nagging feeling that no matter what you do, it’s never quite enough. You pour your heart and soul into everything, trying to live up to these impossible standards—whether it's the ones you set for yourself or the ones you feel from the world around you.

But here’s the truth: perfectionism is a trap.

In this episode, we’ll talk about the pressure we feel to perform and to present our lives as flawless—especially in a world driven by social media and comparison culture.

We’ll get real about the toll this takes on our mental health—how perfectionism breeds anxiety, sucks the joy out of life, and leaves us feeling like we’re constantly falling short.

But there’s another way to live, a way that frees us from the pressure to be perfect. So, if you’re tired of striving, if you’re exhausted from trying to measure up, this episode is for you.

We’re going to talk about grace, letting go, and finding peace in the fact that you’re enough, not because of your efforts, but because of who you are to Jesus.
