A Simple Solution to the Comparison Trap - Heather Thompson Day - 15 FrontStage BackStage with Jason Daye FrontStage BackStage with Jason Daye - Healthy Leadership for Life and Ministry
-
- Christianity
It's easy, in fact, it's human, for us to compare ourselves and our ministries to the ministries of others around us. And although it's human, it's not always healthy. In this week's conversation on FrontStage BackStage, host Jason Daye is joined by professor and author Heather Thompson Day, as they explore what it looks like to embrace “today,” to faithfully and fully live into what God has for us today, and the incredible impact that has, not only on our lives, but on the lives of those around us.

Some key takeaways from this conversation:
Heather Thompson Day on being fully present to what God has for you in the moment: "I thought my calling started when something better came. And I robbed myself and I robbed the people around me and I robbed God of what he had called me to, in that moment. And so I've started this journey of just being fully present in wherever I am, and believing that I'm here on purpose."
Heather Thompson Day on being faithful to where God has you right now: "The only moment we have is right now, It is always your turn to start living your life. And there's things you can do right where you are, when you start being faithful with what God has put in your hand, rather than looking at at what he hasn't."
Heather Thompson Day on introducing a hurting world to God: "When the world says, 'Where is God?', it is not an indictment on God, it is an indictment on his people. God is invisible, because he chooses to be seen through his people, his image bearers. So if we aren't revealing the character of God, and the answers of God in a broken world, we are no longer fulfilling our end of the bargain, that is not on Him, that is on us."
