There is a never ending # of categories that we can compare ourselves in: physical appearance, job titles, vacations, house size, and other worldly successes.  

There is also a never ending # of people to compare ourselves to: all the people you know in your life...you family, friends, and even people at the grocery store. Then you also have the social media abyss filled with strangers all over the world right at your fingertips.

Comparison is something we have all encountered in our life.  When you look at the definition of it, it seems pretty harmless.  It’s what we do with it that makes the big difference.  Do we use it to make our life more positive or negative?  

Negative comparison can lead you down a sinful road of envy, jealousy, and self doubt.  

In Episode 6 of The Forward In Faith Podcast I’ll be discussing the 3 types of comparison and some tips we can use to overcome these thoughts and feelings!  We’ll also be looking at 1 Thessalonians 5:11, 1 Corinthians 12, and Genesis 1.  

If you’re over there comparing yourself to others and feeling like the grass is greener somewhere else, this podcast is for you!  It’s time to use comparison in a positive way, remember who Christ says you are, and start living the life that you were literally created for!!

Simplifying your life with systems can be tough.  We often try to overhaul too much at once which leads to burn out and then we withdraw into our normal habits and routines!  

I personally am not a planner and am actually a self proclaimed, “go with the flow” girl, so using systems and schedules doesn’t come easy for me but I often find myself flying by the seat of my pants, forgetting things, and feeling rushed!  I know having systems in place helps my life run more smoothly and optimizes my time by helping me be intentional!

Who doesn’t want that!? 

In Episode 6 of The Forward In Faith Podcast I’ll be interviewing Chelsi Jo from the Systemize Your Life Podcast!  She is a Christian mom-preneur who is changing the culture of motherhood though simple systems that make faith, family, and business possible.  Today we discuss how you can start implementing systems to make your life easier, how self discipline is a form of worship, meal planning as a system, and putting systems in place to monitor your family’s social media time!  

If you’re over there trying to figure out how to manage mom guilt and chronic chaos, then it’s time to get on board with her systems and start living like the mom boss you were made to be!

Have you ever had an idea of something you’d love to do but then doubt starts creeping in telling you all the reasons why you can’t instead of inspiring you with all the reasons why you can?

Or maybe you see HER doing something and think that you would love to do it too but can’t because you’re not like her.  You tell yourself that she has something you don’t.

Does that sound familiar? 

In Episode 5 of The Forward In Faith Podcast we’re going to be talking about how we can stop putting so much pressure on ourselves and trust God's plan, silence our inner mean girl, our little me vs. the future me, the story of the elephant and the rope, and overcoming the stories we tell ourselves that are holding us back from going for the things we feel called to do!  I hope it inspires you to get our of your comfort zone and realize you can do whatever it is you want to do, even if you don’t have it all figured out, you just have to start!
