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.

30 Days to Pray for Body Image: Day 3- Peace Sep 03, 2021

Show notes

Today we pray for peace with your body. You've heard of body positivity, body neutrality, and you've probably even experienced body negativity - but what about body peace? What would it be like to look in the mirror or get on the scale and feel nothing but peace about the truth that God made you, God loves you, your body is good (not a project for constant improvement), and that you are accepted just as you are. That's what we pray for today. Have you asked a friend to pray along with you yet? Forward this episode to her today!

Verse of the Day

English Standard Version -- Phil. 4:7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

30 Days to Pray for Body Image: Day 2- Wisdom Sep 02, 2021

Show notes

Today we continue praying for our body image by talking about praying and seeking God for wisdom to reveal to you why and where you are stuck in a body image battle. Most of us have searched far and wide for "wisdom" on how to take care of our body. I know I've searched for the best diets, the most effective workouts, the right supplements... But, stopping and asking for God's wisdom as to how to best take care of this body he's made? Hmmm... that's something I haven't done enough. Today we'll pray that God will give us wisdom in all areas concerning our bodies and our body image.

Verse of today -- Proverbs 2:6 --For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

30 Days to Pray for Body Image: Day 1 - Faith Sep 01, 2021

Show notes

Today starts a 30 day series of praying for your body image. Today we talk about having the FAITH that you can actually change the way you feel about your body. Many of us have been let down by faith placed in other things. We had faith the diet would work, we had faith the exercise program would change us into "hot bodies" forever. . . Maybe we had faith the surgery would fix everything. Yet, we still struggle. If this sounds like you, don't despair. There is one place we can put our faith that will never disappoint. I hope you'll invite a friend to pray with you for the faith to see yourself the way Jesus sees you over the course of these next 30 days.

How to Stop Treating Your Body (and Life) as a Project Aug 20, 2021

Show notes

This episode was originally called "How to Stop Troubleshooting Your Life" but it seems not many of you listened to it...so I've included it in the Summer RePlay series so you can catch it now if you missed it back in Season 2! In this episode we talk about all the different ways we see our body and our lives as projects that require constant improvement. If you're like me, you may have spent your fair share of time on the self-improvement treadmill--always analyzing the ways that you could improve yourself of anything within your sphere of control. But when we live with this "troubleshooting" mentality, it really prevents us from ever being able to rest in God's grace. In other words - when we are in constant "improvement project" mode, we can never just "be." I hope today's episode will encourage you!

Forgiveness Protocol: Make a list of all of the offenses that regularly come to mind. These may be related to your body image or other aspects of life. Write each one and who hurt you. Practice daily reading through the list and praying for God to help you forgive them. It's not necessary to tell the other person you've forgiven them. And, recognize that the person who hurt you may never ask for your forgiveness. Yet, it's still necessary for your freedom and healing that you can forgive them. Forgiveness is often not a "one and done" prayer. It may take weeks or month or longer praying to release these offenses until you can truly be free from them causing you pain.

Watching or planning to watch the Olympics this summer? Ever notice that the bodies of the elite athletes may not look like the bodies on the magazine covers?

Summer Replay: Dana White on Clutter and Body Image Jul 16, 2021

Show notes

Last year I did an awesome show with Dana White from "A Slob Comes Clean" about the similarities between body image and house clutter! The show has been a huge hit on You Tube where it's had thousands of views and hundreds of comments... but the audio version didn't get as many listens. So, I thought I'd edit it a little more and give you a second chance, this summer, to check out this amazing interview. Dana and I talk about why it's so hard to clean out our closets, why simple habits make the biggest difference (in body image and home decluttering) and how we're always looking for the magic fix... but doing the work, step by step, is what really works. I hope you enjoy this great insightful and informative discussion!
