Comparison, it puts us in a box and it diminishes us to the size of other people's opinions of who we should be and could be and frankly who we can't be and shouldn't be.

Yes.

And I believe God, God has decided that there's so much more in us than people's perception of us.

Compassion International is a ministry I dearly love.

They're doing such good work all over the world to help release kids from poverty in Jesus' name.

Many children have been waiting over a year for a sponsor. Maybe you've never considered sponsorship before, but I hope that you will. Please know that it's much more than a

financial commitment. It is a relationship that you form. It lets kids know that they are remembered.

And I've been there and heard from these children personally when I traveled

to El Salvador. And I can tell you that it is a game changer for them to bring them hope

in places that feel hopeless. It's a small sacrifice for a lot of us, but it means everything

to a child in need. Go to the show notes for the link to do this, to see children who

need sponsorship right now, or compassion.com forward slash Joe. And as a thank you for your

sponsorship, we're going to send you my book hole as a free gift. So you've been on the show before.

I honestly do not remember the year. Do you have a good memory about these type of things? Or are you like me? And it's all just vague details. Those kind of things like here. Just vague details. I know it happened at some point. We know we've talked. We know that. We know you've been on the show, but we don't remember the year. Good. Well, that makes me feel better because I need to take some memory stuff with some of those, what are the vitamins? Whatever I need. Right. Is that what it is? Okay, I need that because I can't remember anything anymore. It's crazy town. So, okay, Nona Jones, business executive, entrepreneur, international speaker, preacher, author, a new book,

Killing Comparison, which we're gonna get into in a minute.

Is there one of those roles or any of the roles that you sort of

are known for or, you know, play in life that you feel most at home in.

Oh, wow.

Man, that's such a great question.

Honestly, it's all of the roles because I bring my full self to everything that I do.

So I know many times people live their lives like in compartments where they have their work self.

Maybe they have their ministry self, their family self.
