You can wake up grounded, hopeful, and anchored in truth and within minutes comparison can shift everything.

In this episode we unpack how everyday exposure to the happenings of other people's lives can activate a hidden comparison cycle thatsteals peace and distorts identity.

We talk about why comparison feels so automatic, how it reshapes the way we see ourselves, and how we can learn to interrupt it and replace it with truth in real time.

Episode 6: Taking Thoughts Captive – Identity in Christ

Who are you, really? And where did that belief come from?

In this episode, we explore how the thoughts we carry about ourselves quietly shape our identity, our obedience, and our sense of belonging. So much of what we call insecurity or imposter syndrome is actually a misalignment between who God says we are and who we’ve learned to believe we are.

Together, we unpack what Scripture says about our identity in Christ, how distorted thinking can lead us into subtle disobedience, and what it looks like to take our thoughts captive in a way that leads to freedom, not pressure. This is an invitation to renew your mind, realign with truth, and begin living from the identity God has already given you: chosen, loved, and created with purpose.

There's a particular kind of tired that comes from caring deeply about many good things at once. Family, faith, work, relationships, responsibilities. Somewhere along the way, and even though the things are good things, everything starts to feel heavy.

In this episode, we talk about the hidden mental and emotional weight so many of us carry, and how scripture gently invites us to discern what is truly ours to hold and what was never meant to live on our shoulders in the first place.

Together, we reflect on Jesus' invitation to rest, explore the difference between control and responsibility, and practice a simple but powerful exercise to take honest inventory of what feels heavy in our lives right now.

This is an episode about awareness, discernment, and learning to release what we've been carrying alone so we can live more aligned and more grounded in God's presence.
