Insecurities & Comparison: How to Celebrate Progress in Your God-Sized Goals


Listen Later

In this episode of God-Sized Dreams, Melissa Batt shares a vulnerable story about hitting a big milestone—10,000 podcast downloads—and how, instead of joy, her first reaction was shame and comparison.

If you’ve ever dismissed your progress because it didn’t look like someone else’s highlight reel, this conversation will encourage you to pause, shift your perspective, and celebrate what God is doing in your life—even if it feels small. Melissa reflects on how pride and perfectionism can sneak in disguised as humility and why gratitude is the key to staying in your lane.

You’ll be reminded that progress doesn’t have to be fast or flashy to be faithful. Every baby step toward your God-sized dream or goal is evidence of God’s faithfulness and part of your unique purpose.
