In this solo episode, life coach, Karen Papin explores how our limiting beliefs about God can distance us from truly knowing Him and diminish our ability to let His light shine through us. Using the analogy of looking through a smudged window, Karen illustrates how we often focus on our imperfections rather than seeing God's beautiful love that's always present.

Key Takeaways:

• God's love doesn't need to be earned; He loves us unconditionally right now
• Hard times don't mean God is displeased with us or that we've done something wrong
• God blesses everyone, not just others; His atonement is for each of us individually
• Nothing is too small or too big for God to care about; He's in the details of our lives
• We can be honest and vulnerable with God in our weakness, doubts, and struggles
• Our weaknesses are given to help us be humble and turn to God for strength
• God understands our limitations and doesn't expect more than our best each day

• Breaking free from organized perfection allows space for authentic living and relationships
• Our worth isn't tied to productivity but to our identity as children of God
