In this episode, the team welcomes LDI Intern, Sami Schwink to the microphone for a discussion on comparison. Why do we feel almost compelled to compare ourselves to others? The LDI Crew considers how to turn comparison from a curse to a celebration of God’s creative design.
Each episode features a leading question, quote of the week, and a Growing Together segment geared at imperfect leaders who are seeking development in their leadership potential.
Quote of the Week:
“The problem with comparing our lives to others can be traced to our hearts that produce the comparison. When we desire the life someone else has, we are saying in our heart that the gifts God has given us just aren’t enough. Our discontentment, jealousy, and bitterness points a finger at God and tells him that he has gotten the story of our life wrong, and we can write it better.”
-Christina Fox, Dare not Compare, The Gospel Coalition
