Professor Scott Ickes joins RUF to speak on the topic of perfectionism.Society places a high value on performance, and success-oriented people often have a high intrinsic value on "getting things right" or "knocking it out of the park." While our quest towards excellence has noble roots, the false promises of perfectionism rob us of freedom to take risks and to be ourselves. Through personal narrative and Biblical texts, Kinesiology Professor Scott Ickes will explore the hope for living life outside of the impossible pursuit of doing it perfectly.
