Many women quietly carry the exhausting burden of perfectionism. They strive to be the perfect parent, the excellent wife, the dependable friend. As counselors, we often sit across from those who feel like they’re never enough, constantly failing some invisible standard. Thankfully, Scripture exposes the heart of the perfectionist and equips us to address the root issue. Together, we’ll learn how lasting freedom is found not in achieving PERFECTION, but through resting in Christ’s righteousness. His grace covers our failures and invites us into a life of surrender and lasting peace.
