In this Faith Talks conversation, Janna opens up about a quiet but heavy fear many young women feel yet rarely express: the fear of wasting their lives. Through honest reflections on comparison, expectations, and the pressure to measure up, she shares how God has been reshaping her perspective. Her story offers a refreshing reminder that a life surrendered to Christ is never wasted, even when the path feels unseen or slow.

• The subtle ways comparison fuels fear and insecurity
• Why “falling behind” is more about perception than truth
• Learning to trust God with timing, calling, and identity
• How hidden seasons often become the most shaping ones
• What surrender looks like when fear gets loud
• Allowing God to define significance instead of culture or peers

• Fear of wasting your life usually grows in the gap between what you expected and what God is actually doing.
• Comparison blinds you to the quiet work of grace happening beneath the surface.
• God never wastes obedience; He wastes nothing surrendered to Him.
• Slow seasons are often the most formative, teaching humility, trust, and resilience.
• The antidote to fear isn’t striving harder but resting more deeply in God’s faithfulness.
