It's Thursday, February 19th, 2026. I'm Angel — welcome to Have Faith. The episode opens with a quiet but convincing whisper: “You should be further; you should look like them.” Comparison creeps in and steals joy. Drawing from Galatians 6:4, Angel reminds listeners that God didn't create duplicates — your timeline, calling, and journey are uniquely yours. Rather than competing, the only progress worth measuring is whether you're walking closer to God than yesterday. Through candid reflection and a short, powerful prayer, this episode invites you to stop comparing and start trusting. Remember today because you matter. Have faith — let it begin.

Comfort is something most of us chase without even realizing it. We organize our lives around what feels safe, familiar, and emotionally manageable — but over time, that pursuit of comfort can quietly replace trust in God. In this episode, we talk about: • How comfort becomes an idol • Why discomfort often accompanies spiritual growth • How avoiding hard things keeps us stuck • The difference between God's peace and personal comfort • What it means to follow God when obedience feels costly If you've been feeling stuck in patterns that feel safe but unfulfilling, or if you've been resisting change because it feels too hard, this episode will help you reframe discomfort as part of God's refining work. Sometimes the very thing we're avoiding is where God is inviting us to grow. love, Brittany Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama? Sign Up for the Pain to Peace Academy HERE.

This week, we're exploring the quiet ways perfectionism disguises itself as discipline, responsibility, and even maturity, and how "I'll enjoy it when…" might be the very phrase keeping you from fully living. Through a personal reflection on home, hosting, entrepreneurship, and high-capacity womanhood, Colet is unpacking how waiting for the perfect conditions can quietly delay joy, connection, and momentum. Press play and you'll walk away with a gentler, more liberating lens on participation, one that allows you to light the candle, pour the wine, host the dinner, start the project, and stop postponing your life for a future version of yourself. In this episode, we dive into: • Why "I'll enjoy it when…" is one of the most dangerous narratives we carry • How perfectionism quietly delays joy, connection, and self-trust • The hidden cost of waiting for work, money, or life to "settle down" • What the French understand about daily pleasure and participation • Practical ways to start living now, even in unfinished seasons Useful Resources:

Ever catch yourself brushing off certain behaviors the Bible would call sins because they don't seem "that bad"? In this episode, we get real about the “acceptable sins” so many of us excuse — things like anger, gossip, worry, pride, and discontentment. Drawing inspiration from Tim Keller's book, Respectable Sins, we unpack why these habits feel so normal, how they quietly erode our peace, and what it looks like to bring them into the light with honesty and grace.This honest, hope-filled conversation will challenge us to rethink the "little" sins that slip under the radar, and remind us that freedom isn't found in perfection, but in surrender.Show Notes:Respectable Sins: Confronting the Sins We Tolerate by Tim KellerTo resource the workbook Robin refers to, go to https://thecrossingchurch.com/Resources/Read/Free%20Downloads

Many of us have experienced moments where we feel empty or unseen, despite doing everything we think is right. In this enlightening episode, we uncover the sneaky little thief that lives within us, SELF BETRAYAL and how it manifests in our lives. Self-betrayal often arises from societal pressures and expectations. We may find ourselves conforming to what others want us to be, silencing our true selves in the process. This behavior can lead to significant costs, including loss of sleep, creativity, and even our voices. The more we betray ourselves, the more we forget what we truly desire, leading us to question, “Whose life is this?” It's time to break free from self-betrayal and embrace the joy that is rightfully yours. So whether you are feeling lost or unseen, this episode is for you!

Joy is not an accident. It's a fruit of the Spirit that grows from attention, action, and cultivation. In contrast much of our online lives are lived passively comparing ourselves to others without even thinking about it. Algorithms are designed to keep us longing for what we don't have, by showing us lives just out of reach. This is an upward envy that creates a downward disdain and erodes joy. But God life with God gives us the good work of Joy. Joy is deep, personal, and often tied to the relationships that reflect God's love and goodness.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.
Summer is a unique animal. We can have so many unnoticed expectations about how or what we will do with our family over the summer. As busy working moms we can feel guilty that we need to take time away from our families and work. It's far too easy with the addition of social media to fall into the comparison trap and feel frustrated that our family isn't taking an exotic fun trip like our friends, family, or neighbors. We can also lose sight of what we want summer to be by over planning every minute, or miss out on fun activities because we never get around putting them on the calendar. But I'm here to say you don't have to do it all, and your summer doesn't need to look Pinterest Perfect.

Dr. Judith Joseph is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist, clinical professor at NYU Medical School, and a renowned voice on high-functioning depression. In this conversation, we explore the paradox of achievement and anhedonia—the curious, often painful reality that success doesn't always equate to joy. Judith shares her clinical insights into why so many high performers feel emotionally flat, walking us through her integrative approach to mental health and her groundbreaking "5 V's" framework for reclaiming points of joy. This one hit close to home. I found myself confronting how we chase achievement while disconnecting from what truly matters in life. Judith is a rare voice—wise, warm, grounded in science, and even more so in compassion. This one will land where it's needed most. Enjoy!

Tune in and learn how to spot and shift the hidden pressures that are stealing your joy, momentum, and true potential.
As you now know, every month we are tackling a topic related to building a life you don't need a break from. We do that by asking the question “why are we still doing that?” about some outmoded idea or past-its-fresh-by-date tradition.

Are you future-tripping and making assumptions that drain your happiness? You're not alone, and today we're tackling the real reason why assumptions wreak havoc on your nervous system, your relationships, and your peace.In this raw and real episode, Audrey Rose breaks down how making assumptions—about friendships, relationships, or even random situations—keeps you stuck in anxiety and overthinking. Instead of living in the now, we waste energy imagining worst-case scenarios that may never even happen. In this episode, we dive into:✔️ Why making assumptions fuels anxiety, frustration, and emotional exhaustion✔️ The science behind overthinking—how your nervous system reacts to assumed stress✔️ Real-life examples of how assumptions damage friendships & cause unnecessary drama✔️ How to stop ruminating and start living fully in the present✔️ Practical steps to reset your nervous system, calm your mind, and take a breather✔️ Why it's okay to take space, rest, and not respond to everything immediately
Have you ever found yourself comparing your life to someone else's? Maybe it's a coworker's promotion, a friend's perfect vacation, or someone's seemingly flawless family on social media. That quiet urge to measure up, to prove you're just as successful—it sneaks in easily. But Solomon calls it what it is: vanity. Like chasing the wind, it never satisfies. Welcome to The Daily, where we engage with God's Word—verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day. Our text today is Ecclesiastes 4:4. Then I saw that all toil and all skill in work come from a man's envy of his neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind. — Ecclesiastes 4:4 Solomon tells us that much of what drives people isn't passion or purpose, but envy. We often work harder, not out of a deep calling or joy, but because we're caught in the comparison trap. We strive to outdo, outshine, and outlast others, believing it will finally fill that nagging sense of “not enough.” How true is that? But lust-fueled labor is a losing game. It distorts our motives, drains our joy, and leaves us perpetually discontent. Instead of using our gifts to make a meaningful impact, we chase after validation. And even when we achieve more, it rarely feels like enough. That's because we weren't designed to find fulfillment in comparison—we were designed to find it in purpose. When our work is driven by envy, we lose sight of what truly matters. Real success isn't measured by how we stack up against others but by how faithfully we steward the life and opportunities God has given us. Comparison narrows our vision, causing us to overlook the unique calling, gifts, and path God has crafted for us. What's celebrated in someone else's life doesn't diminish the significance of what God is doing in yours. Faithfulness isn't about outperforming others—it's about showing up, using what God has entrusted to you, and trusting Him with the results. So what's motivating your efforts right now? Are you working to fulfill your purpose or to keep pace with someone else's highlight reel? Recenter your focus. Let gratitude and purpose, not comparison, guide you today. #PurposeOverComparison, #FaithfulLiving, #Ecclesiastes4 ASK THIS: What triggers comparison in your life the most? How does envy affect your motivation and joy? What unique gifts has God entrusted to you? How can gratitude shift your focus from comparison to purpose? DO THIS: Pause today and write down three things you're grateful for in your own life—without comparing them to anyone else's. PRAY THIS: Lord, help me recognize when comparison steals my joy and refocus my heart on the purpose You've given me. Teach me to find contentment in Your plan for my life. Amen. PLAY THIS: Different.

Fr. Brendan McGuire - Podcasts that Break open the Word of God
Stuff comes in life and stuff happens! It is hard to, in a sense, frolic and enjoy life. Joy is not about circumstances. Joy is not about what happens to us. Joy is about what we choose when stuff is happening to us. Joy is a response that we have regardless of what is happening to us. (Read more…)Here is my homily from the Third Sunday of Advent. Please feel free to pass it on.God bless,Fr. Brendan

In this episode of our No Fail New Year series, I dive deep into the shadows of comparison. As we journey through Part 4, I share the raw truths and personal reflections on how comparing our paths to others can silently steal our joy and dim our light. Each moment of vulnerability, each story shared, is a step towards embracing our unique journey, acknowledging that while we may seek validation in numbers and comparisons, true fulfillment comes from within. I invite you to reflect on your own battles with comparison, hoping to illuminate a path of self-acceptance and genuine happiness. Join me in shedding the weight of comparison, and let's step into a space of self-love and appreciation for the unique journey each of us is on. Here are the key moments from the episode: 6:20 The pitfall of comparison 10:30 The negative impacts of comparison 19:00 How comparison has affected me 30:30 The costs of comparison 35:30 How comparison can be used as a positive 40:30 How to overcome negative comparison Connect with Heidi!

We are starting a new series on JOY. Over the years, I have spoken to many groups, teams, and businesses about the power of "playing with joy." Also, in my book Moments: Making Your Life Count For What Matters Most, Enjoy the Moment is one of the key principles for making the most of your moments and being fully engaged and present in life.As we kick off this series, I think it is very important to know your enemy, or the thing or person that is trying to steal your joy. It is also important to know how we contribute to outside forces that try to steal our joy by choosing to focus on the wrong things. Specifically, I think there are at least 2 major things that try to steal your joy. The hope for today is that these 2 things are within our control, and we have a choice whether we will be controlled by these forces or conquer them to unleash our best performance in sports, business, and life!

Are you sick and tired of feeling sick and tired? Frustrated that you're always frustrated? We're tired of running too fast and hiding behind a busy schedule, we're tired of living a life of constant problems and also pretending problems don't exist. What's often at the root of feeling this way is a problem-focused mindset. Here's the thing. Our brains are wired to look for problems – so this episode isn't about trying to get rid of all of your problems, pretend you don't have any problems or even to minimize them. Identifying and solving problems is an important and necessary part of our lives. It's a blessing that we were created with brains that seek to look out for us and keep us safe by being on alert for problems. But there's a difference between finding and solving problems and being completely consumed by them – and many of us fall into that category – anticipating the next thing that's going to go wrong, constantly looking for problems on any given day or in any given situation. It can become something that consumes us. On this episode of BEYOND, I'm sharing how to know if you have a problem-focused mindset, what that might look like, how this type of mindset can steal your joy and halt your growth. I'm also describing the alternative that is available to you – how you can train your brain to stop being so problem-obsessed. On this episode, you'll learn: • How "negative" people in your life are often operating with a problem-focused mindset • What being consumed by problems can look like in your parenting, work and relationships • Questions our brain often asks on repeat when we are problem-focused • Why a problem-focused mindset is exhausting for ourselves and those around us • How control is at the root of a mind constantly looking for problems • How a problem-focused mindset makes it really hard to grow: both as a human being and a business owner • The intentional shift that can free you from feeling consumed by problems If you're tired of spinning your wheels and you're ready for mindset and business support that will help you simplify, see more sales and create the kind of life and business you're excited to wake up to, the kind that serves not only your clients but you and your family well, I want to invite you to apply for private 1:1 coaching. Working with me privately is kind of like having a business therapist, marketing strategist and personal trainer for your brain all-in-one. Your next step is to apply for coaching at beckyhoschek.com/apply. There, you'll answer some questions about your business, where you are right now and where you'd like to be moving forward, and if I'm confident I can help you get there, I'll invite you to a call where we can talk all the details and get your questions answered so that you can make the best decision for you.

This is something Adam mentioned he thought would be a good topic and is also something Rosie had heard in the last couple days, so we decided to talk about comparison. We have all heard that phrase that comparison is the thief of joy, but one thing we've heard is that if you find yourself in a state of comparison, it either leads to discouragement or to pride, so it's never a good thing. If you find yourself comparing, you're either putting yourself down, or you're trying to put someone else down indirectly to make yourself look or feel better. Hard emotions as parents 1:25It's so easy to get discouraged 7:30Patience and repetition 12:30Being in the company of gratitude as opposed to comparison 18:00Adam experiencing a trigger 22:30Fantasy and where you think you should be 27:30“I remember someone saying a year back, ‘Don't give up your why for your why.' You're like ‘Oh I'm gonna create this business, or I'm gonna do this and I'm gonna do this because it's gonna allow me to spend more time with my family, we'll travel, we'll do this.' and then you're so busy doing the thing, that you give up the original reason that you did the thing. It's so easy and I think social media makes it so easy to slip into comparison.” 2:02https://www.facebook.com/theirishmummy/https://www.instagram.com/the_irish_mummy/Pick up a copy of Journal to Joy.

Let's talk about it! Key Highlights: Unveiling the Power of the Quote: This game-changer of a quote really got us thinking about how expectations can bite back.

This week's episode is a hot button topic. I want you to really think long and hard when you listen today... when was the last time you truly felt pure joy? Something I noticed with my clients is the lack of joy and pleasure they have in their lives while they're in the thick of their TTC journey. Everything revolves around getting pregnant. Today I share a little bit of my personal journey with recognizing lack of joy in my life and how I've decided to reclaim joy and pleasure for myself. I hope it inspires you to start looking for the version of you that has been lost since starting your TTC journey.

Last Tuesday I broke down the two sides of pride and how the enemy uses a deflated and inflated sense of self to take our focus off our kingdom calling.

Are you caught up in the comparison trap of what you think your home is "supposed to" look like? Do you look at other people's homes and it makes you feel like your own home isn't good enough? Maybe you think it's not organized, it doesn't have any style, or it's not good enough for the cover of a magazine. You really want to enjoy being a mom but you can't get the thoughts out of your head that you're just not good enough. Friend, you ARE good enough! Sure, your home may benefit from a little tweaking here and there to help you with daily upkeep and home management but it doesn't have to look Pinterest perfect. That is all marketing that you have been sold for some one else's agenda. In this episode, I'm sharing some straight-forward coaching around comparing our homes and lives to other people's. I pray that it sets you free, helps you set healthy boundaries, and gives you the permission to create a lifestyle that is just right for you and your family. Let's turn off the noise, get to know what we actually want without outside influences, and develop a habit of contentment. It's only then that we will really be happy in our home.
