Do you feel like comparison is draining your energy and stealing your confidence? We’ve all heard the saying “comparison is the thief of joy,” but that’s not what the Bible says. Jesus promised in John 16:22 that no one can take your joy. What comparison actually steals is your agency—your God-given ability to move in alignment with what He’s entrusted to you.

In this episode, Dr. Sharla is breaking down Paul’s blueprint from Galatians 6:4–5 and showing you how to overcome comparison by shifting your focus, your confidence, and your capacity back to where they belong.
