Many aspects of our lives are framed by “waiting seasons”.
Some short. Some long. Some unexpected. Waiting seasons call us to rely on God and really test our faith to show who really is the king in our lives. I’m extremely grateful to have my good friends Nas and Hil on today’s podcast! We all share our perspectives on our individual waiting seasons and how we trust in the Lord in our day to days. Praying that this episode encourages and blesses you in whatever season y...

2024-03-2811 minThe Faithful Findings PodcastPerfectionism: What It Means To Be Truly PerfectWhat did Jesus mean when he said, “Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.” (Matthew 5:48). Today, we will be unpacking just what Jesus meant. We will also unpack the law and how our worldly “laws” don’t make us perfect in God’s eyes. Spoiler alert: It is only in our faith in Jesus that makes and defines our righteousness.

Formulaic tradition has taught us that certain formulas have to reap the exact response based on the variables given. These thoughts we then transfer over into our relationship with God. A relationship with the one who says his ways our higher and thoughts are wider... So why do we do this? Let's unpack this together in today's episode!
