Perfected: Trading Shame and Striving for Wholeness in Christ

By: Broderick, Bethany

"Am I good enough?" The question plagued Bethany's heart and mind as she drifted off to sleep each night. She worried whether her meager efforts had met the expectations of those around her, the ones in her own head, and (more importantly) the ones she felt from God.

Culture answered her question with glowing affirmations. You've got this girl Just believe in yourself You are more than enough, just the way you are Even in the church, her struggles with insufficiency and insecurity were met with true yet incomplete promises. He created you just as you are You're a princess in his eyes You are enough for him All these phrases were merely bandages covering the festering wound of how inadequate she felt.

How could she truly know if she was good enough?

Through biblical teaching alongside her own personal struggles with perfectionism and condemnation, Bethany shares how she learned to lay down her efforts to be good enough by trusting that Christ is enough for her.

Perfected replaces the burdensome expectations and empty affirmations of this world with the truth that Christ has perfected you for all time. You can find freedom from your self-sufficient striving and rest in the finished work of Christ on your behalf.
