Summary
SURPRISE! My Christmas present to you is here - a conversation with Alisha Illian on Perfection.
With the New Year just around the corner, it's all to easy to buy into the lie that if we just eat a little differently or wake up earlier or buy this or drink that, we can be better. More perfect. And that pursuit can leave us frustrated and hopeless if we let it be our ultimate driver and truth.
We're discussing what true Biblical perfection is and how to think about it rightly as followers of Christ.

| 1:00.0 | break that I take from publishing in December and January. And that's what I'm doing here. |
| 1:05.1 | That's why you're hearing a podcast episode right now. Alicia wrote a book on perfection, |
| 1:13.3 | but I also thought this was the perfect topic for us heading into a new year because the new year is traditionally the time when everyone |
| 1:20.4 | decides this new person they want to be, new goals they want to set, they re-envision their |
| 1:25.7 | life and reimagine what their, youagine what their diet's going to be and |

| 1:34.4 | better, want to change in the new year. And it's very easy to slip into the belief that if we just |
| 1:42.7 | changed enough things and if we just did things a little bit better, |
| 1:47.3 | maybe we could just be a little more perfect, right? |
| 1:52.0 | I know we've all fallen into that. |
| 1:53.9 | I certainly have it's a temptation every year because that's what we're sold by commercialism |
