In the course of his ministry, Dr. Barnhouse met a number of true believers who were dispirited discouraged, and downcast. They had failed to understand their perfect position in Christ and had allowed their minds to become inwardly focused and excessively introspective. The joy of their salvation was restored by a rediscovery of this powerful biblical truth. Do you comprehend the glorious fact of your perfect eternal position in Jesus Christ? Dr. Barnhouse teaches from Romans 8:9 on today's episode of Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/791/29

What if chasing success was the very thing holding you back from real leadership? In this episode of The Root of All Success, I sit down with Scott Ramey — a former Fortune 500 executive turned authentic leadership coach who's redefining what it means to lead with empathy, vulnerability, and purpose. Scott went from leading billion-dollar teams and climbing the corporate ladder to realizing that “success” wasn't the title or the paycheck—it was the freedom to show up as himself. Now, he helps high-performing leaders break free from perfectionism, connect more deeply with their teams, and build sustainable success through authentic leadership.

A single question threads through ancient battlefields and modern routines: who are we choosing today? We walk through Joshua 5–8 to trace a pattern that feels uncannily current—kneel before the Lord, experience the joy of obedience, face the wreckage of hidden sin, and return to renewal. Along the way, we hear Jesus's clear, present-tense call from Luke 9: deny yourself, take up your cross daily, and follow. The contrasts are vivid: Joshua meets the commander of the Lord's army and discovers that the point isn't “Whose side is God on?” but “Are we aligned with Him?” Jericho's walls fall through trust, not tactics. Achan's secrecy shows how private choices fracture a public community. And on Mount Ebal, the whole nation—women, children, and sojourners—gathers to remember and recommit under God's Word.We connect these scenes to everyday discipleship. True assurance doesn't rest on a dusty memory of a card or aisle; it shows up in today's footsteps. Time, difficulty, and change test roots. When the wind rises, do we release the aroma of Christ? We lean into a practical, grace-filled framework for examining direction over perfection—habits in Scripture, prayer, community care, and humble celebration of others. The good news holds the center: Jesus is the better Joshua who stepped beneath the stones we deserve, so we can stand on rubble by grace. Repentance is not meant to end in despair but to lead to remembrance, reaffirmation, and recommitment—at the table and in our rhythms.If you're hungry for a faith that's honest about failure and stubborn about hope, this conversation is for you. Join us as we choose today—at home, in conflict, in fatigue—to say yes to Jesus again.

In this episode of More Yourself, I'm inviting you to pause and come back to the present moment.We explore what happens when you're stuck in the cycle of feeling not enough, constantly doing, comparing, and striving, until it becomes clear you can't keep living this way.

Pax et Bonum! On October 4th, we celebrate the Solemnity of Our Holy Father, Saint Francis of Assisi. As Franciscans, we have much to admire and love about St. Francis. With this in mind, we have chosen to delve into the profound teachings of 'The Three Ways of Perfection', a topic that has captivated us and we believe will inspire you as well. 1. The Purgative Way is the purifying of the soul in view of attaining an intimate union with God. 2. The Illuminative Way is the stage of the spiritual life that aims for the imitation of Christ through the positive exercise of Christian virtues. 3. The Unitive Way is characterized by three conditions: 1) a great purity of heart, 2) a great mastery over self, and 3) a constant need to think about God. Points of Discussion: 1. The Purgative Way is shown by his conversion and being the Church builder. 2. The Illuminative Way is shown by the Rule – living according to the Gospels. 3. The Unitive Way is exemplified by Greccio – Nativity Scene, Alverna – Stigmata, and Portiuncula – Holy Death. Deo Gratias!

Why do so many people set high standards and then end up feeling crushed by them?  The issue is not the standards themselves. It is the way we attach them to perfection.  The goal is not to remove standards. It is to build them in a way that keeps you accountable without chaining you to impossible expectations. When you learn this balance, you step into real progress without the constant stress of failing your own test.

Key Takeaways:True leadership often means loosening your grip. You cannot force outcomes, timelines, or people, but you can release and lead with trust. Surrender opens space for wisdom and growth.Surrender is not weakness but strength in disguise. Rest becomes a strategic act when we allow it to restore us. In slowing down, we sharpen clarity and courage.Perfection and rigid plans weigh leaders down. Balance is found in the natural rhythm of effort and rest. Honoring both flow and pause leads to sustainable impact.Leadership is not a solo journey but a shared one. Trusting your team and support network empowers them to rise higher. In giving space, you multiply strength together. “Surrender isn't weakness. It's wisdom. Choosing rest is a strategic decision.” “Let go of perfection and timelines. Whatever you missed happened anyway. It's all okay, nothing's going to pass you by.” “Balance comes from rhythm, not rigidity. Leadership is expansion and contraction. Go with the flow… honoring the rest as much as the pushes, honoring the ebb and the flow.” - Maryanne Dersch  Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

In this episode of the Strength In Weakness podcast, hosts Guy Hammond and Davion Hambrick kick off a brand-new series inspired by Guy's book Tempt Away: How to Defeat Every Temptation in Under 60 Seconds.Together, they dive into one of the biggest struggles Christians face—the unrealistic expectation of living a “perfect” life. Why do so many believers feel pressured to hide their flaws? Why is authenticity often replaced by a polished façade on Sunday mornings? And what does the Bible really say about weakness, grace, and growth?Guy and Davion explore scriptures like 1 John 1:8–9 and 2 Corinthians 12:9, unpack the idea of church as a spiritual hospital, and remind us that Christianity isn't about perfection—it's about progression. Along the way, they share personal stories, practical insights, and encouragement for anyone who feels weighed down by the burden of perfectionism.

In this series Dr. Mufti Abdur-Rahman covers the book titled, 'Essentials of Islamic Spirituality' previously known as 'The Path to Perfection'. Link to book: https://www.whitethreadpress.com/publication/essentials-of-islamic-spirituality/ At a time when the discourse surrounding Islam is generally inauthentic and shallow, The Essentials of Islamic Spirituality presents a much-needed antidote. It goes beyond simply diagnosing the spiritual ailments that afflict us; it puts forward means of eradicating them, so that we as individuals, as communities, and as an Umma can reap the benefits of a spiritual way of life. White Thread Press makes this invaluable work available in elegant and moving prose, while remaining true to its traditional origins. The result, a profound awakening of the heart, is within the reach of all. Those new to the spiritual sciences will delight in the range and profundity of the psychological and spiritual disciplines of Islam, while those already on the Path will gain new insights and perspectives. Shaykh Masihullah Khan, a renowned student of the eminent Mawlana Ashraf ‘Ali Thanawi, wrote Shari'at & Tasawwuf to pass on to future generations of Muslims the numerous benefits of his teacher's wisdom. The teachings gathered here are notes of admonition and encouragement written by a man who has walked the path to his Creator; and at their core, these teachings are sustenance for the ailing hearts and souls of our time.

Have you ever been afraid to speak, for fear of saying the wrong thing?Have you ever walked away from one of life's test, due to fear of failure?Have you not started your "business" because you're waiting for everything to be perfect?If so...grab a cup and let's sip ...*Transcripts Available: englishandcoffee.org*Contact: englishandcoffeepodcast@gmail.com

Perfectionism isn't about doing your best—it's about fearing mistakes, fearing judgment, and believing that if you're not flawless, you're not worthy. But here's the truth: perfection is an illusion. There is no such thing as flawless work, flawless parenting, flawless relationships, or flawless living. The pursuit of it is like chasing a shadow—you'll never catch it.Perfectionism keeps you from starting projects because you feel you're not ready. It makes you overwork simple tasks because they never feel “good enough.”And it kills creativity, because instead of experimenting and learning, you're worried about being judged .In the end, perfectionism doesn't make you better—it just makes you tired.

Chasing perfection often leads to guilt, shame, and despair. In this episode, we explore how that weight turns into projection—and how the Gospel breaks the cycle.

Most contractors don't fail because of lack of skill — they fail because they can't stay consistent.In this episode, Derek Johnson and Tim Catroni break down why motivation fades, why discipline wins, and how building consistent habits in business, health, and life will separate you from the crowd.Whether it's making sales calls, sticking to your SOPs, or showing up when you don't feel like it — consistency is the key.⚒️ Inside this episode:Why motivation is fleeting and discipline is everythingHow boredom destroys good habitsReal-world examples of consistency in business and healthWhy your “why” matters more than you think=================================================☎️ Waiting until everything's perfect before you pull the trigger? That's why you're stuck. Perfection is the setup that keeps most contractors broke.

Miscommunication isn't fate—it's fixable. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, marriage counselor Raffi Bilek, author of The Couples Communication Handbook, breaks down why most fights spiral (fight-or-flight, solving too soon) and how to replace them with a clear, repeatable process. We cover the two-conversation framework (explore first, solve second), listening that lands (reflect, don't rebut), using humor without harm, and building a reliable repair system so conflict doesn't erode the relationship. Direct, practical, and immediately usable for couples, therapists, and anyone who wants fewer blowups and more connection.   About the guest  :   Raffi Bilek is a marriage counselor and author of The Couples Communication Handbook: The Skills You Never Learned for the Marriage You Always Wanted. He helps couples move from reactivity to repair with simple, teachable skills grounded in real-life practice.   Key takeaways  : Don't fix in the fire: pause when activated; come back when you're regulated. Run two conversations: first explore the problem (what's under it—respect, autonomy, feeling unseen); then solve it. Listening ≠ agreement: reflect back what you heard; postpone rebuttal and solutions. Make safety explicit: agree on no judgment / no interruptions / no instant fixes while exploring. Humor connects only when it's not at your partner's expense; don't use jokes to deflect hard truths. Expect work: great relationships aren't conflict-free; they have a reliable repair system. Name emotions directly; increase self-awareness (introspection, therapy, journaling) so your partner can understand you. If one partner won't invest, depth stalls—decide to accept the status quo, re-contract the relationship, or seek change together. Household fights are usually symbols; get curious about the meaning, not just the dishes. Small weekly practice: one explore-only talk (15–20 min); solutions scheduled later.   Connect with the guest   Website (book + contact): https://www.thecommunicationbook.com/Download first two chapters free; contact Raffi for questions or consults.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In this episode, Tracy and I break down why leaders cling to stories instead of facts, how “no one wants to work” is rarely true, and why 89% turnover in 90 days doesn't mean failure—it means you're solving the wrong problem. We dig into the hidden costs of poor onboarding, why perfection is the enemy of progress, and how small experiments compound into lasting change.We also role-play the hard conversations most leaders avoid: asking for resources, addressing pay gaps, and backing process changes. Tracy shows how turning impact into a clear request transforms whining into influence—and why fear of tough conversations keeps organizations stuck in chaos.The throughline: stop venting, start requesting. Systems won't fix themselves, people won't magically stay, and sales numbers don't rise just because you hope they will. Elite leadership is having the clarity and courage to pitch the real solution.TL;DR* Complaints hide requests: Every gripe signals an unmet need—translate it into a clear ask.* Facts over stories: “No one wants to work” → actually 89% quit in 90 days, but 11% stayed. Find the real cause.* Perfection kills momentum: Incremental fixes beat waiting for the flawless solution.* Onboarding matters: Most “lazy hires” are system failures, not people failures.* Courage in conversations: Leaders stall not because they lack answers, but because they fear asking for change.* Compounding gains: Small, repeatable improvements snowball into massive organizational shifts.Memorable lines* “Every complaint is a poorly worded request.”* “If perfect is the standard, walk out the door now—you'll never reach it.”* “The biggest leap isn't good to great, it's chaos to not that bad.”* “Tough isn't stubborn—tough is smart clarity backed by courage.”GuestTracy Austin — Leadership consultant focused on trade industries and frontline retention. She helps organizations cut turnover, build onboarding systems, and transform complaints into action.

Tell us what you think about this podcast!In this podcast, Bishop Rader Johnson extends the series beyond the 6 Principles of the Doctrine of Christ. Hebrews 6:1-3 calls us to go on to perfection—to grow beyond the basics and press forward to maturity in Christ. Spiritual growth means bringing our thoughts, desires, and actions under God's Word so we can reflect the life of Jesus.For more lessons and sermons, follow our YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@GBT

Are you stuck in a “Q or nothing” mindset? In this episode, I'll dig into how the pressure to be perfect can rob handlers of joy and learning, and how shifting to growth-driven goals — and playing the long game — creates more confidence, resilience, and yes, more Qs in the ring.

In the second segment of today’s show we hang with our buddies Greg Panos and Richard Cray, exploring their latest adventures in singing, performing, being honored, and communicating with the AI’s privately on your personal machines. The last song of the show is from Richard’s performance in The Man from La Mancha, in Maui last year. And just somehow his performance perfectly meshes wtih Gregory’s seamlessly interwining the real with digital worlds. Enjoy! Al, Sun, Greg, and Richard creating the Future Now Show

Perfection sounds noble, but it often becomes the single biggest roadblock to achieving our goals. Whether it's an author rewriting chapters for years or a jobseeker endlessly reworking a résumé, the pursuit of perfection often leads to unfinished work and lost opportunities. Done, as it turns out, really is better than perfect. In this quick, five-minute Pocket Sized Pep Talk, I'll explain why striving for progress beats chasing perfection every time, and how adopting this mindset can help you finish what matters most.

Jesus teaches us that we are to be perfect, just as God is perfect.  How on earth are we supposed to be perfect? Join us for the message “Law, Prophets, and Perfection.”

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids podcast, Dr. Kathy delves into the challenges faced by today's youth, who often grapple with the pressures of hyperproductivity and the quest for perfection. She emphasizes the importance of helping children build their identity in Christ rather than solely focusing on their achievements. The discussion highlights the need for parents to recognize and celebrate their children's qualities, such as loyalty and confidence, and to be mindful of the potential dark places that the pursuit of being the best can lead both teens and parents. With insights from researchers at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, Dr. Kathy explores how we can guide our kids through the complexities of modern life while nurturing their spiritual and emotional well-being. Join us as we learn how to support our children in thriving amidst the pressures of their generation.

The fact is, God knows we're not perfect, which is why He's doing the good work for us. This week, Charles Tapp continues with the third part in his series "God's Good Work" by explaining we just need to be willing to allow that work to take hold in us, with his message "Perfect Perfection."

Business isn't about being perfect. It's about showing up, screwing up, and learning fast. In this raw episode, Derek and Tim share a hilarious (and humbling) story about being “set up” at an event — and how that ties into the lessons every contractor needs to learn:Why perfection is the enemy of progressHow to keep showing up when you feel embarrassed or unpreparedWhy the “who” is more important than the “how” in businessWhy you don't need to be good at everything — just at what mattersIf you've ever felt like you weren't ready, polished, or “good enough,” this one's for you.=================================================☎️ Waiting until everything's perfect before you pull the trigger? That's why you're stuck. Perfection is the setup that keeps most contractors broke.

We're jumping back in with another episode in our Parenting Personalities series, and we are excited about this episode! This episode is on Birth Order, and can I tell you something fun that I love to do. When kids come for their very first visit at Daystar, we call it an assessment. We take kids on a tour around the Daystar house, they get to meet the dogs, we get them a snack, and we sit down to talk. We meet with their parents at a later point. During my time with just the kid, I love to not look at the paperwork, which would inform where they would fall in birth order and try and make a guess.  I don't want to brag on myself, but I'm going to say that I have a pretty high percentage. I have a strong batting average in that space. I think it's the reality of us having done this work for a lot of decades. Knowing so many of the things we're about to talk about with birth order and seeing little lumps as watching where kids may drop some crumbs, that's really fun to do. Listen in as we will share two primary things about oldest daughters and oldest sons, children who fall in the middle, and the youngest kids in birth order and all of their coping strategies.  Recommended books to read: Braver, Stronger, Smarter by: Sissy Goff (For parents with daughters in younger years and elementary grades) Brave by: Sissy Goff (For parents of daughters in Middle school and High school) Growth Mindset by: Carol Dweck  (For parents of 1st born sons and daughters)   The Gifts of Perfection by: Brene Brown (For parents who are 1st borns) . . . . . .  ⁠Owen Learns He Has What it Takes: A Lesson in Resilience⁠ ⁠Lucy Learns to Be Brave: A Lesson in Courage⁠⁠ More Links: Sign up to receive the⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠monthly newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to keep up to date with where David and Sissy are speaking, where they are taco'ing, PLUS conversation starters for you and your family to share!
