Episode Synopsis

In this episode, I'm sharing how prayer is saving me from some of the most intense guilt I've ever felt in my life.Since. I was very young, I've struggled with perfectionism and the crippling, sometimes physically painful guilt that comes along with it. Nowhere has this been more true that in my relationship with religion and God.Until one day, a friend asked me a question that started to shift my view of how God sees my mistakes and how He wants me to see them.Motherhood is solidifying my new view of how God wants us to respond to our guilt, because there are SO many opportunities to fall prey to "mom guilt." It's been especially prevalent for me as I've welcomed a new baby into our home. When everyone needs my love, it's too easy for me to believe that I'm never doing enough for anyone.Join me as I share what God is teaching me through this chapter in my life.Scripture References:Romans 5:1Romans 8:11 John 3:19–20Matthew 11:28–30Matthew 14–15 (loaves and fishes)Numbers 21:4–9 (bronze serpent)Resources Mentioned:Walk Beside Me Episode 4: Preaching Repentance: It's Not What You ThinkMore on religious scrupulosity
