Most of us unknowingly walk the path of Cain — sabotaging our worship and growth because of comparison and unresolved jealousy. But what if the key to genuine connection with God and others isn’t talent or effort, but surrender of the heart? Brad unpacks a powerful story from Genesis that reveals how unchecked envy turns worship into competition and disconnection — and shows you how to break free before it’s too late.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• How comparison subtly sabotages your purpose and relationships
• The crucial difference between routine and heartfelt worship
• The secret warning signs of jealousy that can lead you astray
• Why bitterness and resentment are spiritual predators crouching quietly, waiting to strike
• Practical steps to reset your heart, release jealousy, and deepen your surrender to God

Through this compelling biblical story, Brad offers a fresh perspective on the dangers of internal conflict and teaches you how to realign your heart towards authentic worship and peace. If you’ve ever felt the sting of seeing others succeed or struggled with comparing your journey, this episode is your wake-up call to choose surrender over sabotage.

Perfect for believers seeking a genuine connection with God, or anyone tired of the cycle of jealousy and performance — listen now and start transforming comparison into a catalyst for true worship.
