This is Your Nudge to Step into Freedom with Mac Bridges & Kenz Durham

<p>Do you ever put pressure on yourself to read your Bible enough? Pray enough? Make the right choices.?Say the right things? Love people well? Don&#39;t mess up?</p><p>It can feel like a lot.</p><p>In this episode, I’m sitting down with <strong>Mac Bridges and Kenz Durham</strong> (you might know them from their For the Girl podcast or Delight Ministries) to talk about the pressure we put on ourselves to get our faith “right” and what God is actually asking of us when He calls us to holiness.</p><p>Because here&#39;s something we all need to hear: <strong>holiness and perfection are not the same thing.</strong></p><p>God isn&#39;t waiting for us to finally become flawless before He can love us, use us, or draw near to us. He already loves us, uses us, and is near us always! We have Jesus, His grace, and the Holy Spirit to help us accomplish what we could never do on our own.</p><p>And there is so much freedom in that.</p><p>Mac, Kenz, and I talk about what it looks like to pursue a life that reflects the goodness of Jesus without turning our faith into another impossible standard we&#39;re constantly trying to meet. Holiness isn&#39;t about never getting it wrong. It&#39;s about allowing God to continually shape us, grow us, and teach us to become more like Jesus.</p><ul><li><p>The important difference between holiness and perfection</p></li><li><p>We can ditch the exhaustion that comes from trying to earn something Jesus has already provided</p></li><li><p>How God&#39;s grace meets us in the places we can&#39;t do it on our own</p></li><li><p>Why pursuing holiness can look like pursuing goodness and becoming more like Jesus</p></li><li><p>The freedom of knowing you don&#39;t have to always “get it right”</p></li><li><p>How grace and growth work together</p></li><li><p>What it looks like to bring our faith into ordinary, everyday life</p></li></ul><p>Maybe you&#39;ve spent years believing that growing closer to God meant trying harder, doing more, and messing up less.</p><p>But what if the goal was never perfection?</p><p>What if the invitation is to keep following Jesus? To receive His grace when you fall short, let Him change you, and then get back up and keep walking with Him?</p><p>You don&#39;t have to live afraid that you&#39;re going to get this wrong.</p><p><strong>This is your nudge to stop chasing perfection and start walking in the grace, goodness, and freedom Jesus has already given you.</strong></p><p>Mac Bridges and Kenz Durham are the cofou
