Perfected

Trading Shame & Striving for Wholeness in Christ

“Am I good enough?

The question plagued my heart and mind as I drifted off to sleep each night. I worried whether my meager efforts had met the expectations of those around me, the ones in my own head, and (more importantly) the ones I felt from God.

How could she truly know if she was good enough?

Through biblical teaching alongside my struggles with perfectionism and condemnation, I share how I learned to lay down my efforts to be good enough by trusting that Christ is enough for me.

Friend, so can you!

In Perfected, I will help you:

  • Identify the lies that lead you to search for your satisfaction and sufficiency within yourself.

  • Understand core truths about who God is, who you are, and how he is at work in you.

  • Live in light of God’s promises—to have assurance in your faith, to endure with steadfast hope, to do good works out of love, and to thrive in biblical community.

    Ann Swindell, Author of The Path to Peace and owner of Writing with Grace

  • “Perfected offers a clear and compelling message for perfectionists and legalists alike— the gospel offers both the freedom to fall apart and the power to flourish in Christ alone. Bethany not only understands the roller coaster of trying to live the perfect life by her own power, she provides rock-solid theological evidence that we can get off the ride and stand firmly on the promises of God.”

    Maggie Combs, co-author of Sweeter than Honey: A Bible Study on Enjoying God in His Word

  • “This book reads like a deep exhale after a lifetime of holding one’s breath. Combining honest reflections with biblical truth, Bethany gently invites readers to step off the hamster wheel of striving and rest in the lavish grace of God’s perfect sufficiency. As someone who has always struggled with perfectionism, I am so grateful for Bethany’s persistent encouragement to seek freedom in Christ over a captivity of my own making.”

    Ashlee Gadd, author of Create Anyway: the Joy of Pursuing Creativity in the Margins of Motherhood

  • “For anyone who has ever felt worn down and discouraged by the belief that they're not doing enough or being enough, Perfected is for you. Bethany shares a way out of the shame and striving so many of us are trapped in and helps us find freedom and wholeness through Christ. In a fast-paced, productivity-driven, achievement-oriented culture, Perfected offers a message we desperately need.”

    Sarah J. Hauser, speaker and author of All Who Are Weary: Finding True Rest by Letting Go of the Burdens You Were Never Meant to Carry

  • “In Perfected, Bethany thoughtfully shows us the only truth that is ever going to set us free from the angst of life in a broken world: the perfection of Jesus Christ. Her words and stories are written with clarity, but in this book, it is her heart for the reader that really comes through. Bethany writes with truth and grace in a way that is going to make you feel both seen and encouraged.”
