Episode #50: Untangling Perfectionism from Righteousness: Finding Freedom in Christ

from Shine, Mommy, Shine Podcast · host Kirstin Baxter

Hey mama—can you believe we’re already halfway through 2025? Summer is here (or almost here), and with it comes the pressure to make it “perfect.” But what happens when our good intentions turn into stress? In today’s episode, we’re diving into how perfectionism often masquerades as righteousness—and how we can finally untangle the two. We’ll talk about: Why trying to “do it all right” for God can actually block connection with Him What the scriptures really mean by “Be ye therefore perfect” How Sister Tamara Runia’s recent General Conference talk sheds light on performance-based faith 5 subtle signs perfectionism might be holding you back (even when you’re doing “good” things) Why repentance and weakness were always part of God’s plan—not signs of failure How to shift from spiritual striving to faithful abiding 💡 Mini Invitations: Reflect on ways perfectionism sneaks into your thoughts and plans. Ask yourself: “Is this driven by fear or by love?” Trade performance for presence, and striving for stillness. ✨ PLUS: Grab your free cheat sheet to supercharge your peace and confidence  You are worthy of God’s love not because of what you do, but because of who you are. Let’s walk into this season with grace, connection, and sacred imperfection.
