“You don’t have to be perfect.” - Rev. Krista Zimmerman
Pastor Kelsey sits down with Rev. Krista Zimmerman for a thoughtful conversation on presence, perfectionism, and practicing a more grounded, grace-filled faith.
Together, they explore what it means to be present in ministry and daily life, how to set healthy boundaries (especially with technology), and why letting go—while difficult—is often necessary for spiritual growth. They also reflect on grief, the gift of being a beginner through analog hobbies like watercolor and coloring, and the freedom that comes when we release the pressure to be perfect.
Kelsey also shares a return to the heart of the podcast: conversations with women in ministry about their theology and spiritual lives—what they’re preaching, praying, and discerning in this season.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
Letting go and why it’s essential for growth
How a “word of the year” can shape your spiritual practice
Navigating grief after the loss of a beloved pet
The spiritual invitation of analog hobbies and creative practices
Simple, practical boundaries with technology
Moving beyond perfectionism toward grace
