About this episode

Pastor Mike Brake discusses the dangers of comparison and encourages listeners to focus on their own unique journey with God.

Are you running your race… or comparing your life to someone else’s? Comparison is one of the fastest ways to lose your joy. Social media, success, relationships, careers, even faith, can quietly turn life into a competition we were never meant to run. Comparison distracts us from the race God has set before us. Keeping our eyes on Jesus helps us break free from the constant pressure to measure up. If you've ever felt like someone else is always ahead… always winning… or living the life you wish you had...this message is for you. You don't have to run someone else's race. God has a race marked out for you. Scripture in this message: Hebrews 12:1–2 Luke 3:22 1 Samuel 16:7 About Freedom Church: Freedom Church exists to help people find freedom in Christ and live the life God created them to live.
