We’ve all been there—facing a failure that knocks the wind out of us. Whether it’s a mistake at work, a broken relationship, or a personal regret, failure can leave us feeling ashamed, stuck, and spiritually defeated. In this episode, I’m sharing a recent failure of my own and what God is teaching me through it.

Together, we’ll look at what the Bible really says about failure—and how, in God’s hands, it can become the very soil where faith grows. You’ll hear how shame tries to name us, but grace redefines us. And we’ll discover that failure isn’t the end—it’s often the place where God begins something new.

This is a message for anyone who’s fallen short and wondered if they still have a place in God’s story. (Hint: You do.)

Listen in and be reminded:

✦ Failure is universal—but not final

✦ God doesn’t waste our brokenness

✦ Growth often comes through the things we’d rather erase

Have you ever looked at someone else’s walk with God and thought, “Why can’t I be more like them?” Maybe their prayers feel deeper, their Bible is full of notes, or they just seem further along. I’ve been there too.

In this episode of Talking with God, I’m sharing what God has been teaching me about comparison—how it creeps into our faith journeys, distorts our view of ourselves, and distracts us from the work God is doing in our lives. We’ll look at Scripture that reminds us of the truth: God isn’t comparing us to anyone else. He’s walking with us, at His pace, for His purpose.

If you’ve been feeling behind, invisible, or not “spiritual enough,” this episode is for you.

🎧 Listen in—and let’s talk with God about how to stop comparing and start embracing the journey He designed just for us.
