Description:In this episode of the Compared to Who? podcast, Heather Creekmore continues her Fear Free Fall series with a deep dive into the fear of failure. Heather unpacks the difference between perfectionism and fear of failure, revealing how each shows up in the ways we approach life, our goals, and our body image struggles. She explores how our definitions of success can become idols and how God’s grace redefines our worth. Heather shares personal experiences, practical examples from her coaching, and biblical encouragement to help listeners break free from the grip of performance-based living and find freedom in Christ. Key Topics: Difference between perfectionism and fear of failure Identity issues at the root of both struggles How fear of failure shows up as avoidance, hesitation, and "analysis paralysis" The role of “success” as an idol and how it influences body image Processing where personal standards and God’s standards diverge God’s grace as the answer to our endless striving for worth Practical encouragement for stepping out in faith, even when failure feels likely Encouragement:Heather challenges listeners to reflect on where fear of failure might be holding them back and offers gospel-centered strategies to reframe their thinking and experience freedom in Christ.

Ever feel like the quiet work of motherhood is invisible? Like no one sees the tears, the effort, or the love you pour out daily? Hey mama, Katie here—and this week's episode is raw and real. I'm coming to you just after returning from the hospital, completely worn out but deeply moved by something my friend shared with me. While I was loading up to bring my son home, she called and read me a poem called The Invisible Mom. And friend—it stopped me in my tracks.This episode is different. It's not scripted or polished, but it's full of heart. I share the poem with you, along with the reflection and tears that followed, because I know I'm not the only one who feels unseen in the daily sacrifices of motherhood. You'll also hear about the beauty our family experienced even in the hard hospital days, and why I believe God sees every act of love you pour into your home.If you've been wondering whether it matters—whether you matter—this episode is for you. I hope it feels like a warm hug from one mom to another.

À travers le récit biblique du veau d'or, découvre comment des objets ou des personnes peuvent parfois prendre la place de Dieu dans nos cœurs.

Sometimes it isn't about trauma brain or nervous system talk. Sometimes it's just about life being messy and complicated and still leaving you asking, what the hell am I supposed to do with this?In this episode, I answer two big questions from a daughter:Trust after rupture: What do you do when someone you love, someone you thought was safe, lashes out, apologizes, and takes responsibility…but you're still hurt and not sure where to put it? We talk about what it means when trust gets shaken in relationships, how to stop pretending everything's “fine,” and why real healing comes from honest conversations, not band-aids.Self-doubt at work: What happens when you're offered a leadership opportunity you've always wanted  but instead of celebrating, you're stuck in fear of messing it up, losing respect, or not being “ready”? I share the real talk about stepping into leadership, owning your power, and saying yes to more without waiting to feel 100% confident first.If you've ever struggled with rebuilding trust, navigating self-doubt, or stepping into leadership while carrying the wounds of being a daughter of a narcissistic or emotionally limited mother, we've got you covered today.You'll walk away with:-Clarity on why ruptures in close relationships matter (and what to do about them).-Practical ways to rebuild trust without gaslighting yourself.-Real talk on how to step into leadership even when fear and insecurity show up.-Encouragement to stop waiting to feel “ready” and start saying yes to the life you want.Because sometimes it's not trauma. It's just life. And you still deserve to know what to do next.Head to MayhemDaughters.com to join Group, our community, or to become a sponsor of the show.

What happens when life takes an unexpected turn and faith becomes your anchor? In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with Jennifer Rothschild—best-selling author, speaker, podcast host, and Bible teacher—who lost her sight at age 15. Jennifer shares incredible wisdom born out of real life struggles that will encourage you, strengthen your faith, and give you insight to deal with your own challenges in life. Jennifer shares how her parents’ steadfast faith and practical love helped her trade bitterness for hope and how parents can model handling hardship for our kids. We explore the value of “seeing” life through God’s promises, like Philippians 4:13 and 2 Corinthians 4:16–18 and the necessity of constantly “accepting then adjusting” to life change. Jennifer is vulnerable, honest, and wise. This isn’t a glib “praise God” bumper sticker conversation, but one where Jennifer reminds us that “earth is short and heaven is long,” and our present struggles prepare us for an eternal glory beyond imagination.

What if every budget you've ever "failed" wasn't your fault at all? Here's the truth they don't want you to know: Your budget isn't broken. Your willpower isn't weak. Your body is literally hijacking your financial decisions to protect you from perceived danger. In this episode, Brandon exposes the invisible force that's been sabotaging even the smartest, most capable people... and it has nothing to do with discipline. You'll discover: Why your brain goes offline the moment you open your bank account (and what's really happening in your nervous system) The shocking research: financial stress drops your IQ by 13 points, you're literally making decisions with a handicapped brain How your "Financial Nervous System" mistakes budget reviews for life-threatening danger Why all the spreadsheets, apps, and perfect plans in the world can't override biology Key Quote: "You can have perfect financial knowledge, flawless systems, and iron discipline, but if your nervous system interprets financial management as dangerous, it will override everything. Every. Single. Time." This isn't a character flaw. This is biology working against your bank account. And once you understand it, everything changes.

Aujourd'hui, explore dans Prières Inspirées le fascinant mais dangereux monde des miracles. Tous les miracles ne viennent pas de Dieu, et il est crucial de discerner la vérité derrière ces manifestations. On navigue à travers l'Évangile de Marc, un texte dynamique et percutant, pour découvrir comment Jésus est présenté comme le Fils de Dieu souffrant. L'épisode met en garde contre les faux prophètes et les miracles trompeurs qui séduisent les foules, nous rappelant que seul Jésus est le véritable médiateur entre Dieu et les hommes. La foi authentique se nourrit de la Parole et non de signes éphémères. Réoriente ton adoration vers Jésus, le seul nom au-dessus de tout autre ! Prépare-toi pour un moment de louange puissant et une prière fervente qui recentre sur l'essentiel : notre relation directe avec Dieu. 00:00:20 : Début de l'émission 00:00:44 : Pensée du jour : "Le Livre de Marc" 00:04:44 : Chant 00:11:07 : Encouragement 00:26:00 : Prière

Preaching: Evan Gear "A Strong Encouragement" Hebrews 6:13-20

In this powerful episode, Heather Creekmore continues October’s "Fear Free Fall” series by digging deep into the often-hidden fear of rejection and how it influences our lives. She unpacks how perfectionism and people-pleasing are tightly related to our need to feel accepted and loved. Through personal stories, relatable examples, and biblical truth, Heather unravels the underlying self-protective strategies we adopt—and how the gospel offers real freedom and grace. Key Topics Covered: What is the Fear of Rejection?Heather explores how this fear drives us and manifests as perfectionism and people-pleasing. She explains that these are self-protective strategies formed by our desire for secure love, belonging, and worth. Perfectionism:Often, we think, “If I get it right, then I’ll be enough.” Heather shares a personal story from college when a single missed typo made her feel immense shame, showing how perfectionism can lead to exhaustion and shame rather than peace. People-Pleasing:The fear that “If I make everyone happy, I’ll be safe.” Heather discusses how people-pleasing is not true peacekeeping or biblical peacemaking and how it can even impact our ability to follow God’s call if the opinions of others control us. Where Does This Come From?Heather highlights how these tendencies usually aren’t intentional—they’re often formed in childhood, at school, or through life experiences that taught us we’d be safer if we kept everyone happy or never made mistakes. How It Affects Others:Unchecked, perfectionism and people-pleasing can also lead us to have unrealistic expectations of others, continuing the cycle for those around us. The Gospel’s Answer:True freedom is found not in earning love and acceptance from people (or God), but in embracing grace. Heather reminds us that Jesus took on ultimate rejection so we can be fully accepted by God, no matter how we perform. A Challenge to Listeners:Heather encourages us to check our motives—are we striving for approval from people or resting in God’s approval? She challenges listeners to shift their perspective from a “people-big, God-small” view to a “God-big, people-small” mindset for greater confidence and peace. Memorable Quotes: “Perfectionism is a fear of inadequacy dressed up as excellence.” “People pleasing is not biblical peacemaking—it’s a form of self-protection.” “You can never be perfect or please everyone, but you are already fully accepted in Jesus.” “Freedom comes when you realize you can’t earn grace—it's a gift.” Resources & Next Steps: Visit heathercreekmore.com for free resources, courses, coaching, and Heather’s books Sign up for the free 10-day encouragement email series!
