It’s okay to be inconsistent in our faith practices. God doesn’t expect perfection.

In this episode, Pastor Kelsey reminds us that it’s okay to be human.

The reason so many new year resolutions fail is because we expect perfection from ourselves. We get off course or miss a few days, and we throw it all away. The same can be true with our faith and prayer practices. We might set an intention at the beginning of Lent to journal every day or read the Bible every morning, and that is a beautiful thing to try! But remember - you are human. Kids get sick, work projects take up space, there’s a leak somewhere, your hormones are out of whack or mercury is in retrograde. Whatever it is, remember that life happens and it’s okay to acknowledge that sometimes our good intentions can be set aside for a few days. It doesn’t mean you have failed: it means you are human.
