I am a psychologist, wife and mother of three teenagers. Three years ago I started a mental health podcast, called Never Perfect with an ADHD psychologist . It comforts me greatly to know that life is never going to be perfect, and we all struggle navigating this complicated life. As a Christian, my faith is one of my biggest struggles but it gives me more hope and peace than anything else. Being still and tapping into the unseen may be the most important thing we ever do, yet is one of my biggest challenges in life, Christians should be the most humble, compassionate and loving people, if they are modeling their lives after Jesus, and yet many aren’t. So many people are understandably turned off by Christians who are judging, self-righteous, or cold ( some call these people “assholes” and wonder if they’re actually Christians), and I am personally sad and angry about this, because Jesus was none of these things. Other people won’t crack open the Bible or the doors of the church, and many have misconceptions about what faith is or what it looks like. In this podcast, I will be interviewing people who are real and relatable Christians who represent Jesus well (in my opinion) and also sharing things that have inspired me and strengthened my faith and spark flames in my soul, from verses, passages, or stories to interviews with pastors, friends, and just anyone who inspires me to greater faith.

In this episode, Beth talks with Avery Campbell, a Young Life staff member who works with teenagers every day and tries to help them understand faith and grace. Beth and Avery discuss ways that it is difficult for many people, including themselves, to accept a free gift and love that you don’t have to earn. So many of us feel a need to prove ourselves in all of our relationships, and many of us experience imposter syndrome. God’s love for us seems so counterintuitive and often different from human love , so it can be hard to accept and digest. The idea of doing good things as a result of receiving grace (unmerited favor) and NOT in order to earn it is also hard to fathom for many. Good works will be an aftereffect of receiving grace (unmerited favor) and not a method to earn grace, because it’s a free gift. Very little in human life Seems to work that way, and most things are based on merit and performance and worth , whether it is making an athletic team, or getting graded, or the amount of money you make. So the truth of the Bible and the message from a supernatural being, is countercultural and so different than what we are conditioned, and often hard to believe and accept. Amazing grace… ineffably sublime. Beth reads Isaiah 55:1-9
