The Bible Speaks to You: Think, Pray, Love like Jesus
Have you ever poured out your heart, almost begging God to solve a problem, but it doesn’t feel like your prayer is ever answered? You wonder if there’s a better way to pray you don’t know about. Then some days, you really connect with God in prayer and it just makes you want to be closer to Him?
Each week The Bible Speaks to You Podcast helps you rediscover the original Christianity of Jesus. Host James Early, Bible teacher and speaker, and an occasional guest dig deep into how to think, pray, and love like Jesus. And how to experience more of Jesus’s promise that “the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

338 – Don’t Compare Yourself to Others
338 - It's Freedom Friday
How often to you compare yourself with others? How's that workin' for you?
One of the things I’ve really had to work at over the years is not to compare myself with others.
When I’ve seen someone who is more successful, is smarter, stronger, better looking than me, it’s easy to feel inferior to them.
I've felt guilty I didn’t work as hard as they did, or maybe I tried but didn’t succeed like they did and it adds to the guilt of feeling I’m not good enough.
And sometimes I’ve compared the mistakes I’ve made in life and the sins I’ve committed to what other people have done and it usually paralyzes me from going forward with my life.
Comparing yourself to others is rarely a good idea and usually prevents you from making progress in your own life.
There's a simple way to stop comparing yourself to others.
And that’s what we’re talking about on this episode of Freedom Fridays.
