Are you exhausted from trying to do it all, be it all, get it all right — and still wondering why it never feels like enough?
This week’s episode in our Chasing Carrots series tackles one of the most silently damaging pursuits in our culture: perfectionism.
Whether you’re constantly holding yourself to impossible standards, feeling like you’re never measuring up in others’ eyes, or demanding more than is fair from the people you love — this message will hit home.
Pastor Danny dives into the 3 faces of perfectionism and exposes the spiritual trap it sets: chasing love, worth, and approval by striving to be flawless. But perfectionism isn’t just exhausting — it’s a lie. And there’s a better way.
💡 This episode will help you:
Recognize how perfectionism is shaping your faith and your relationships.
Understand why perfectionism can never earn God’s approval — and why you don’t have to.
Discover how the Grace of Jesus sets you free from the pressure to perform.
The carrot of perfection will always move just out of reach. But the Grace of Jesus? It meets you right where you are.

🎧 EPISODE: “Chasing Carrots – Money, Stuff, and the Illusion of ‘Enough’”
Do you ever feel like you’re doing fine… but still not quite fulfilled?
You’re not alone — and you’re not doing anything wrong. You might just be chasing the wrong carrot.
In this compelling episode of our Chasing Carrots series, Pastor Danny Cox teams up with financial advisor and Christ-follower John Dawson to take a hard, honest look at one of the most common (and quiet) spiritual traps: the endless pursuit of money, stuff, and status.
Together, they explore why “just a little more” never seems to satisfy, what Jesus actually said about wealth, and how your finances are deeply connected to your faith. This episode is packed with real-world wisdom, biblical truth, and practical next steps for anyone feeling overwhelmed, overcommitted, or quietly anxious about money.

Am I trusting in my riches… or the One who richly provides?
Is my stuff owning me more than I own it?
How do I actually honor God with what I’ve been given?
…this is the message you can’t afford to miss.
