Give Up

Erik Guzman June 18th, 2007

The desire for perfection is a two-edged sword. On one hand, the very presence of the desire assures one of being alive in Christ. On the other hand, perfectionism can turn you into a bound-up, burned-out fake.

On this edition of the Scandalous Freedom Podcast, Steve Brown lays out the case for quitting. If you don't give up on getting better, the impossible demands of perfectionism will rob you of the joy and freedom required to approach perfection.
