Why Comparison Is SO Dangerous to Christians!

Comparison rarely shouts — it whispers. And when it does, it quietly steals something precious: your joy.
In this powerful episode of Behind the Mike Podcast with Mike Stone, we dive deep into why comparison is so dangerous for believers, how subtly it creeps into our faith, and how Jesus directly confronts it in Scripture.
Have you ever been faithful… obedient… committed to Christ — yet wondered why someone else’s life looks easier, more fruitful, or more blessed?
You’re not alone.

Through a personal story, biblical insight, and one of the most revealing moments between Jesus and Peter, this episode exposes how comparison:
📍 Turns blessings into burdens
📍 Turns calling into competition
📍 Turns trust in God into quiet suspicion
Jesus didn’t explain Peter’s future.
He didn’t justify God’s plan.
He simply said: “What is that to you? You follow Me.”
That’s where freedom lives.
That’s where joy returns.
👉 If comparison has been weighing on your heart — especially in the age of social media — this episode is for you.
