It’s easy to get caught up in perfectionism in a world that gives us so much to worry about and so many “perfect” families to measure ourselves against. The question is what to do about it—and the Church, it turns out, has a lot to say. In this episode, Dr. Philip Mamalakis joins the Faithtree Resources podcast to share his advice for overcoming perfectionism, building life-giving relationships with other parents, and finding the freedom to stop caring what everyone else thinks.
