Paul had something better than Mamba mentality. In Philippians 3:12 he says he has not obtained it and he is not already perfect, but he presses on to make it his own, because Christ Jesus made him His own.

Warren Wiersbe called this holy dissatisfaction. We are content in Christ, but never content with where we are in our walk with Him.

Alex breaks down why we need it, why comparison quietly kills it, and how remembering where you were when Christ found you keeps you in the race.

After the Amen question: Are you dependent on Christ, or have you grown complacent?

SPOTIFY DESCRIPTION

Comparison is not just a bad habit. It is a confidence problem. In Philippians 3:4-7, Paul lists seven things that made him look impressive and then moves every one of them into the loss column. We talk about why we compare, what it costs us, and the only comparison that gives you real confidence.
