P.O.P. - Progression Over Perfection | The Great 8

Main message: The church values "progression over perfection" — spiritual growth is a slow process that happens as we receive grace, set guardrails, and accept guidance through theology, therapy, and community. Practically, regular spiritual disciplines (like the "Thirsty 30") help faith deepen over time.

Key points:

• Growth takes time; faith must be rooted and cultivated rather than rushed.
• Grace for ourselves is essential because we will fail; God's grace covers our mess-ups.
• Put up guardrails: protect your heart, guard your relationships and time with God through prayer, Scripture, Sabbath, and other spiritual practices.
• Seek guidance and accountability from Scripture (theology), professional help (therapy), and trusted community/counselors.
• Practical discipline offered: "Thirsty 30" — 10 minutes prayer, 10 minutes Bible reading, 10 minutes worship daily.
