In this episode of the Rooted Parent Podcast, Cameron and Anna talk with Faith Chang about Christian perfectionism in parenting. Faith is a pastor’s wife and mom of 4 who works with Westminster Books and serves on the editorial board of the SOLA Network. She is also the author of the book Peace Over Perfection: Enjoying a Good God When You Feel You’re Never Good Enough. Listen in as Cameron, Anna, and Faith discuss what exactly Christian perfectionism is and how it tends to manifest itself in our parenting. They also share advice for parents who see their own children struggle with perfectionism. Weary parents who constantly fear failing their children will be encouraged to rest in God’s sovereignty and his invitation to “come and rest.”
