What if you're not failing at life? What if you're simply measuring yourself by the wrong standard?
Kelly Adkins explores Proverbs 11 and the dishonest scales we often use to measure our lives: comparison, productivity, success, motherhood, expectations, other people's approval, and even the person we thought we'd become by now.
Jesus offers a different way.
Instead of asking, "Am I doing enough?" we're invited to ask, "Am I being faithful?" Instead of treating every struggle like a scoreboard that determines our worth, the gospel allows us to see our lives as a dashboard: honest information that can help us grow without defining who we are.
Discover the freedom that comes when you stop letting comparison, expectations, and performance determine your identity and allow Jesus to have the final word.
