Wake Up, Look Up

Do You Need a Nemesis?


Listen Later

In this episode, Pastor Zach examines the controversial idea of needing a nemesis to drive success. Drawing inspiration from a New York Times article, he discusses how some public figures like Michael Jordan and Taylor Swift have used rivalries to fuel their achievements. But Pastor Zach flips the script, arguing that while comparison can motivate, it ultimately leads to destructive emotions like envy and pride. Instead, he points us to the biblical principle of loving our enemies and finding purpose in Christ, rather than chasing success through competition. Can we find true motivation by focusing on purpose rather than comparison? Join us as we explore a healthier, more fulfilling way to pursue success.
