Summary

It has been said that comparison is the thief of joy. Are you leaving the doors of your heart unlocked for the thief to come in and steal, kill and destroy your joy??

Today's storyteller, Courtney Humphreys, from Memphis, Tennessee, shares her story of growing up trying to be good enough for God, herself, and others. Her story will encourage you to stop comparing yourself to those around you and walk in a manner to which YOU have been called.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:

When you stop comparing yourself to others, you realize that the gifts others have can make you a better person.
Slowing down is key to running this race called life.
No matter how hard you try, you will never be good enough for God... And that's okay because it points you to your need for Him.

IN ANTICIPATION OF OUR 200TH EPISODE, WE ARE GIVING YOU A TASTE OF PATREON FOR THE MONTH!!

THIS THURSDAY ON YOUR REGULAR PODCAST FEED, listen in as Robyn, Lindy, and Katie "Continue the Conversation" and discuss Courtney's story. We will talk about the spiritual gifts God has given each of us, how comparison can overtake our lives, and you'll find out what the "honeybees" is. We hope this episode leaves you laughing as it did us!
