Do you ever scroll through social media and feel like everyone else has it all together—perfect homes, flawless kids, or seemingly endless accomplishments—while you’re just trying to keep up? Friend, comparison is sneaky. It can steal your joy, distract you from your purpose, and even make you question your worth.

In this episode of Peace Over Perfection, we’re digging into why comparison is such a trap, how it shows up in your life, and—most importantly—how to break free by finding your identity in Christ.

You’ll discover:

✨ Why comparison steals your peace and how it really works in your heart and mind

✨ Biblical examples that show how envy and comparison have consequences

✨ How to celebrate others’ success without letting it diminish your own journey

✨ What imposter syndrome really is and how to see it for what it is

✨ Practical ways to overcome comparison, including limiting social media exposure, practicing gratitude, and remembering your true identity in Christ

✨ How to anchor your worth in God’s love instead of likes, followers, or the world’s standards

This episode isn’t about “fixing yourself” or pretending envy doesn’t exist. It’s about learning to step off the comparison treadmill, see yourself through God’s eyes, and live confidently in the purpose He has uniquely designed for you.

Verse of the Week: Ephesians 2:10 – “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”

Whenever you feel the pull of comparison this week, pause and reflect on this truth: your worth is anchored in Christ, your journey is uniquely yours, and you are God’s masterpiece. That’s where peace is found.
