  <itunes:subtitle>Do you ever feel overwhelmed by trying to be perfect? I mean, Jesus did tell us to “be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect” (Mt. 5:48), and Paul certainly took this seriously as he gladly “spent and consumed himself for souls” (2 Cor 12:15). But sometimes, I think the pursuit of perfection leaves behind God’s plan for our lives. In fact, living a holy life might mean embracing the imperfection around us. Today’s guest, Colleen Carroll Campbell, former journalist and presidential speechwriter and author of The Heart of Perfection tells us what she has learned on this topic. </itunes:subtitle>
