Overcoming the Culture of Comparison

Share your thoughts

Having low self-esteem can take over your entire life. But perhaps the most difficult part of having low self-esteem is that it follows you even when you’re alone. 

 You may constantly feel inadequate and compare yourself negatively to others. There are a few main reasons behind low self-esteem, including the negative experiences we’ve had in childhood, but it’s made worse by the pervasive culture of comparison brought by social media and other aspects of modern life.

 This week, our host Helen Todd is joined by Heather Holleman, a professor and author whose recent novel “This Seat’s Saved” helps young readers understand what it means to be seated with Christ. 

 In their conversation, they discuss overcoming comparison and the feeling of loneliness. Their conversation expands into a broader discussion on being seated with Christ to overcome all kinds of adversities, trials, and traumas.
