Summary

With every scroll, click and swipe, social media has provided us the opportunity to compare ourselves to an airbrushed world. It’s the trap we’re all living in. But what happens when the comparison trap finally does what all traps do? Shuts.

In this episode, we’ll uncover the real motivations at work behind comparison and provide you with a practical response to putting an end to envy. Join us as we mobilize to combat comparison together.
Notes:
- Comparison is the ruin of joy.
- Envy suggests that God hasn't given us enough, and that ultimately God Himself isn't enough.
- Contentment is the end of comparison
Three Ways to Practice Contentment:
1.) Rush to Rejoice
2.) One-up each other in Honor
3.) Move Gratitude towards Giving

0:33.4	If this isn't your cup of tea, pun intended, go ahead and skip right over to about the
0:36.8	11 minute mark.
0:37.8	But we hope you stick around for the intro, as well we take the Bible and are following
