Summary

Do you think God is calling us to be perfect or just to be pretty? Personally, I think not.

I believe what we're called to is not pretty or perfection but perseverance.

Sometimes it's much easier to have a very happy-looking social media feed than to have a happy heart and home in reality. But we're not going for things to look good, instead what we're going for is to be good and to persevere in this goodness.

In this episode, we are going to highlight the importance of perseverance and how we can practice it in our lives.
