Description

Episode Summary:
Ever feel like everyone else is doing life better, faster, and in cuter shoes? 🙃
Welcome to the exhausting world of comparison—where scrolling leads to striving, and peace gets pushed to the back burner.

In this episode, we’re calling out the lie that says you need to “keep up” with anyone, especially the Joneses. Social media might fuel the fire, but God’s Word has the antidote. Let’s trade the pressure to perform for soul-deep peace rooted in truth.

We’ll unpack:

  • How social media sneaks in discontent

  • The spiritual cost of comparison

  • What Scripture says about contentment and purpose

  • Practical ways to guard your heart and focus on your God-given lane

📖 Featuring these powerful verses:
Proverbs 14:30 | Galatians 6:4–5 | Luke 12:15 | Colossians 3:2 | Romans 12:15 | Philippians 4:11 –13

This is a grace-filled, scripture-packed, slightly sarcastic reminder that you’re not behind—you’re just distracted. Take a deep breath. God has you right where you’re supposed to be.
