Compared to Who? Body Image for Christian Women

The go-to podcast for Christian women who want to grow stronger in their faith and stop living stuck in comparison!

Are you a Christian woman who’s tired of measuring yourself by the world’s standards? Have you tried to “fix yourself” with willpower, self-help, or even Christian clichés—but still feel like you’re falling short?Do you know the truth of God’s Word, yet struggle to believe it in your daily life?

Bonus: Have you ever wished you could just pray your struggles away in an instant? (Your secret’s safe here.)

If you answered yes, then Compared to Who? is the show for you!

Each week, we tackle the real issues Christian women face—comparison, body image issues, performance pressure, insecurity, identity, spiritual maturity, and more—through a practical, grace-filled, gospel-centered lens. You’ll find encouragement to trust God’s Spirit, rest in His promises, and grow deeper in your walk with Christ.

I’m Heather Creekmore—best-selling author, speaker, and follower of Jesus. After decades of chasing approval and perfection, I discovered that true freedom only comes through surrendering to Him. Now I help women like you exchange striving for peace, insecurity for identity, and comparison for confidence in Christ.

Every episode is packed with relatable stories, biblical truth, and honest encouragement to help you stop living stuck—and start living free in Jesus.

Body Image, Trauma, & Healing ED: Featuring Dietician Tracy Brown Oct 15, 2021

Show notes

If you're like me, you may know so much about diets, calories, macros and food that the thought of talking to a dietician seems a little unnecessary. What more could you possibly learn about food and how to eat? But, today I start a month long series talking to a specific group of Christian dietitians who are "non-diet" dietitians. These women are trained and licensed dietitians who have committed their work to helping women break free from issues with food and eating disorders. Today, my guest is Tracy Brown. Her work specializes in helping women who have trauma (known or unknown) and helping them break free from the way it keeps them stuck in eating disorder behaviors.

Highlights from today's show include:

Tracy talks about how we need to be professors of our own experience with food.
Tracy shares how overtime there is a food binge or "grabbiness" there's usually a food deficit somewhere earlier in the day.
She talks about how trauma can come from a family's inability to know what to do with emotion--not all traumas are big traumas. Yet, they can still cause us pain.
The connection between HSP (highly sensitive people) and eating disorders, body image, and perfectionistic tendencies.
Why there's often a set back after six weeks of progress on journeys to food and body image freedom.
How promoting self-love is deeply connected to New Age philosophies and teachings that Christians should avoid.

Do you have Psalm 139:14 memorized yet STILL struggle with your body image? This famous psalm says we are, "Fearfully and Wonderfully Made." But. if you're like me, there are many days when I still don't feel like my body is good enough. Why doesn't the truth that I'm "fearfully and wonderfully made" take away the pain and frustration of wanting to be a different size or have a different shape or look?

What do you do when you wish your fearfully and wonderfully body was better? That's what we talk about in today's show.

What 1500 Calories a Day Does to Your Body and Brain Oct 08, 2021

Show notes

My friend, Integrative Nutrition Coach, Erin Kerry and I have a candid conversation about what 1500 calories a day really does to your brain and body. Did you know that 1500 calories a day can put your brain and your body into survival mode? The concept of the 1500 (or 1200) calorie a diet has been a popular dieting method for decades--but more and more nutritionists, dietitians, and others are exposing the truth that most of us need more than that for healthy brain function.

Not getting enough calories each day can affect your energy levels, your brain function, and other systems of your body (even your reproductive system!). Listen to today's conversation and learn the truth about 1500 calories a day.

30 Days to Pray for Body Image: Day 29 - Favor Sep 29, 2021

Show notes

Today we pray for favor -- a concept that is different than seeking the approval of others. Favor is something that God tells us and shows us through scripture that he gives to his people. Favor doesn't come from us projecting a certain image or trying to make other people us. Instead, favor is a supernatural kinship with someone (maybe even someone who normally wouldn't like us!) that is orchestrated by God.

Our verse of the day is Psalm 5:12, "Surely, LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield." This is a great one to memorize!

30 Days to Pray for Body Image: Day 28 - Control Sep 28, 2021

Show notes

For those of us who struggle with body image issues, I've noticed through the years of talking and working with women that control can tend to also be a problem. Are you secretly a control freak?I have been. There are many reasons and ways that control and body image issues connect - so today we're going to talk about those ways and pray for God to set us on the path to freedom from control issues that can keep us stuck too! Our verse of the day is 1 Peter 5:7 which says, “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for us.”

30 Days to Pray for Body Image: Day 27 - Love Sep 27, 2021

Show notes

Today's episode is not about how to grow in love for your body--rather, we're talking about how to love God and others well! Though it may seem like a backwards concept, I promise you that when your focus shifts to loving God and others well, your eyes come off of your thighs and you feel freer in your own skin. How do we love others well? That can be the tricky part -and that's what we'll tackle in today's prayer.

Here's our verse of the day: John 15:13, "Greater love has no one than this; than to lay down his life for his friends."

30 Days to Pray for Body Image: Day 26 - Friends Sep 26, 2021

Show notes

Do you have friends? Not the kind of people that always want to diet and do things to look hotter-- but a friend that is safe to talk to about the ways you struggle with body image and comparison and who will lead you back to the truth of the Gospel? This kind of friend is hard to find. Today, we'll pray that God will send you friends that are able and willing to speak His truth to you in love. We'll also pray that he will make us that kind of friend so that we can be an encouragement and edifying to each other. Our verse of the day is Proverbs 27:17 "Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another."

30 Days to Pray for Body Image: Day 25 - Scale and Mirror Release Sep 25, 2021

Show notes

Are you held captive by the opinion of the scale or the reflection staring back at you from the mirror? Does the wrong number or a new wrinkle ruin your whole day? If you've ever felt enslaved to the opinions of the scale or the mirror -today we're going to pray specifically for freedom in these areas. Are you ready to pray for their hold over you to end? Then listen and share with a friend who needs the same release!

Our verse of the day: 1 Corinthians 6:12 (NLT) You say, “I am allowed to do anything”—but not everything is good for you. And even though “I am allowed to do anything,” I must not become a slave to anything."

30 Days to Pray for Body Image: Day 24 - Confidence Sep 24, 2021

Show notes

Confidence! We've been told it comes from having a great body or achievements, or worse -- some say we can have confidence just by having more self love. But is this really what the Bible teaches? I don't think so. I think the kind of confidence we need doesn't come from greater self esteem, but from greater God esteem. We can be most confident when we lay our own accomplishments, achievements, resume, or looks aside and determine to let it be Jesus in us that shines through. This is God confidence. And, guess what friends? Unlike our bodies or our statuses or our achievements--this kind of confidence can never be ripped away or shaken. Our verse of the day is 2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
