Perfection Is Expensive, Progression Is Free | POP Podcast Ep. 1
The picture of perfect we had is because people never showed us their progress. Welcome to Episode 1 of the POP Podcast. Mike and Charles sit down for the inaugural conversation, 3 years in the making, unpacking why perfectionism is the silent killer of your purpose, your peace, and your progression. In this episode: → Why perfection is expensive but progression is free → The labels you accept that become your limits → How comparison is the silent killer of progression → The Bella science test story (you have to hear this) → What your spouse would say you need to progress in → The Theology + Therapy + Community framework we'll build this whole season on → Why your obedience matters more than other people's opinions If you've been carrying the weight of trying to be perfect, at work, in your marriage, as a parent, in your faith, this is your permission to progress. We believe in Progression Over Perfection. Through theology, therapy, and community, God can turn trauma into triumph. 🔔 New episodes every Friday.
