To be perfect is to let Jesus grow you all the way up

Sep 6, 2026    Ryan Rovito

What if the most misunderstood command Jesus ever gave is also his most hopeful invitation? When Jesus tells us to "be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect," most of us hear an impossible standard — and quietly give up before we start. But the word Jesus used doesn't mean flawless. It means complete. Fully grown. Fully what you were made to be. This week we're launching a new series called Let Him, and we're starting at the foundation: what holiness actually is, why it matters more than we've admitted, and why the only real ceiling on what God can do in you is the one you've been putting there yourself. If you've ever made peace with "I'm just a work in progress," this one is for you.
