"We are living under the weight of the Perfectibility Paradigm. Try harder. Do better.
One of the most counterintuitive parts of the Christian tradition is its emphasis on progress
when it doesn't believe in absolute perfection.
Jesus alone is perfect."

— Kate Bowler

Four steps to embracing imperfection, one day at a time.

First, get a copy of Good Enough: 40ish Devotionals for a Life of Imperfection, by Kate Bowler and Jessica Richie. The book is available online—hardback, e-book, or audio book—or you can pick up a copy in our church vestry.

Second, get a free copy of A Good Enough Lent: Reflection Guide, which is available from our church vestry. Or you can just click here and download it for yourself from Kate Bowler's website. (Not required, but helpful.)

Third, begin reading one devotional each day as you move through Lent. Much easier than giving up chocolate.

Fourth, join us on Zoom to join the discussion about what we're reading, learning, relating to, disagreeing with, and so on. Not a dreaded "book study," but just a laid-back, relaxed few minutes of listening and sharing.
