    "Authentic Over Perfect" With Taylor Stuart

    There's a lot of pressure as women to do it all and to do it all well.
    On the outside, we like to have it all together. But what does life look like when no one is watching? Does it look like our life is falling apart? How are we supposed to live in a way that honors God but at the same time rest? On this episode, you'll get to learn from our friend and Proverbs 31 staff member Taylor Stuart as she shares her own struggles of feeling like she was not doing enough. Through the book of James, she discovered there's a big difference between participating in a relationship with God and putting on a performance for Him and others. Grab something to take notes ...

    When we are met with unmet expectations, it can be easy to start questioning what we think about God's character.

Friend, you don't have to rely on performative or formulaic ways to follow God; you can find hope and rest in knowing it's not all up to you.

Help and time to grow

I love listening to your podcast before I go to bed at night. It is an opportunity to connect with my God, learn from women of faith and be in scripture. I have an illness that doesn’t always allow for me to use my eyes to read the Bible, your podcast gives me sometime to connect and hear from God. Thank you!

Love the positivity and encouragement

I have recently found myself back in church after many years wandering and lost with an aching in my heart and soul. This podcast has helped me stay submerged in the promises of God and continues to keep me on track with wonderful relatable teachings and a zillion resources to help me stay in the word of God every single day. Highly recommend this and their free First 5 app and study guides. God bless all of you at Proverbs 31!
