In this episode of Priorities on Purpose, Melissa Batt shares a powerful conversation with a former coaching client about what the church is truly meant to be—a place for the broken, the hurting, and those who don’t feel like they have it all together.

They talk about the tension between perfectionism and authenticity, how judgment inside the church can push people away, and why the body of Christ is called to be more like a hospital than a showcase for “perfect” Christians.

Melissa also shares how chasing a God-sized dream doesn’t always mean taking a giant leap. Sometimes the first step is as simple as opening your home, inviting someone to sit on the floor, or starting a Bible study in an unexpected place. Those small, faithful steps break through perfectionism and help us walk in the calling God has placed on our lives.

If you’ve ever struggled with perfectionism, wrestled with insecurities, or wondered how to take the next step toward your God-given purpose—this episode will encourage you to stop waiting for perfect conditions and start walking it out in faith.
