<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The FOCUS team has organized a very exciting upcoming talk on
<b>Saturday May 29<sup>th</sup> from 12 PM-2 PM Eastern Time </b>titled <b><i>Overcoming Perfectionism with the Help of the Saints</i></b>.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Speaker:<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Colleen Carroll Campbell is an award-winning author, print and broadcast journalist, and former presidential speechwriter. Her talk will primarily be based on her book
<i>The Heart of Perfection</i>. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>About:<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Spiritual perfectionism—an obsession with flawlessness rooted in the belief that we can earn God’s love—is dangerous because so many of us mistake it for virtue. Its cycle of pride, sin, shame, blame, and despair distorts our vision, dulls
our faith, and leads us to view others through the same hypercritical lens we think God is using to view us. Colleen Campbell will be sharing insights from her book
<i>Heart of Perfection </i>on how we can learn from the Saints to overcome spiritual perfectionism and walk in the freedom of God’s unconditional love.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
