Counsel for Perfectionism from the Beatitudes, with Micha Boyett

In this episode we talk with Micha Boyett, author of Blessed Are the Rest of Us: How  Limits and Longing Make Us Whole (Brazos Press). Micha shares her story with us about how she came to struggle with the perfectionism and ablism of our culture when she became the mother of a child with Down Syndrome. She helps us understand the true meaning of the word 'blessed' as Jesus presented it in Matthew 5 during the Sermon on the Mount. You are sure to be encouraged by Micha's wisdom and compassion.Become a friend of the podcast by subscribing!
