Do you feel like comparison is draining your energy and stealing your confidence? We’ve all heard the saying “comparison is the thief of joy,” but that’s not what the Bible says. Jesus promised in John 16:22 that no one can take your joy. What comparison actually steals is your agency—your God-given ability to move in alignment with what He’s entrusted to you.

In this episode, Dr. Sharla is breaking down Paul’s blueprint from Galatians 6:4–5 and showing you how to overcome comparison by shifting your focus, your confidence, and your capacity back to where they belong.

What You’ll Take Away

  • Why comparison robs your agency, not your joy
  • How to shift from accumulation to authenticity
  • How to stop “borrowing” confidence from other people’s lives
  • What it really means to carry your own God-given portion
  • How psychology confirms what Scripture already told us about comparison


Scriptures Mentioned

Galatians 6:4–5 • John 16:22 • Matthew 7:24–25 • John 10:10
