Break Free from Spiritual Perfectionism w/ Kristen LaValley | Ep 101
Episode 101
Wednesday, 18 February, 2026
In Episode 101 of Halfway to Sunday, Jill sits down with author Kristen LaValley to talk about church hurt, spiritual perfectionism, and what it looks like to rebuild faith when it’s been tangled up with trauma. Kristen shares about her book Growing Up Saved and the “I am bad” mindset so many Christians carry, believing they must perform and become “better” to be loved by God. Together they explore the cost of spiritual perfection, the way harmful systems can distort our image of God, and the slow work of returning to the truth that we were created “very good.” They also reflect on God’s love as something we can’t fully comprehend alone, and why healing often requires community, honesty, and gentleness. This episode is for anyone deconstructing unhealthy faith and longing to find a kinder, truer way to know God.➡️ Watch next: Halfway to Sunday (Full Episodes)🎧Listen onAppleSpotify🙏Join the community + bonus content (Patreon)💌 Questions/Guest Requests******🩵 ABOUT USHalfway to Sunday is a weekly faith-based podcast for people who want Jesus but still have questions, sharing honest, hope-filled stories of real faith through joy and loss, healing and growth, and even doubt.
