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.

Do Clothes Help Your Body Image Struggles? Day 19 Apr 30, 2021

Show notes

Ahh . . . clothes. I love clothes. Well, sometimes I love them. Other days, I hate them. I look at my closet and search through my drawers and physically feel like there's no possible way anything will fit. Clothes have this funky connection to my body image. Sometimes they help me feel "better" (or so I think . . .) other days, they "make me" feel worse (or so I blame. . .).

I spent decades shopping for the perfect clothes to help assuage my issues with my body. The challenge is, I never found them. Or, at least I never found any that could help me in a permanent sort of way. That new dress would help me feel good for a few days, and then. Boom! Right back to needing something else, new, for the next special occasion.

Listen to or watch today's video for a little more about my struggle with clothing. Maybe you can relate?

Questions for reflection:

Have you used clothing to try to help your body image? Are you a compulsive shopper or are you constantly looking for the next "perfect outfit" to try to fix the way you feel about your body? In what way's do you think this practice is healthy or unhealthy?

Can I encourage you to prayerfully consider the ways clothes have played into your body image struggle today?

(Do you have a closet full of clothes and nothing to wear? Read this for encouragement!)

Why You Should Try a New Way (Spring Break Free Day 15) Apr 26, 2021

Show notes

We've all heard the over-used definition of insanity. "Trying the same thing, over and again, and expecting different results." No one really knows who said it, but we all know it's true. If you're like me, you've tried all the diets, the fitness gimmicks and maybe even the weight loss pills. You've tried convincing yourself that your true value is found on the inside and that you are more than your pants size. You know all the lingo. And, yet . . .you're still struggling.

Relax. You're normal.

But, today, we can turn a corner. Now that you've identified the root of body image idolatry, perhaps you are feeling more hopeful. You know that things can be different now. For the rest of the Spring Break Free series, we'll be talking about the habits in your life that will need to change as you attempt to find, and keep, your freedom. Watch today's video to find out more:

Questions for reflection

What conventional methods of fixing your body image have you tried over and again with limited success? Diets? Exercise programs? Positive Pep Talks? Self-Esteem "Boosters?"?

Do you believe there's wisdom in trying something new?

How to Recognize an Idol (Day 12 Spring Break Free!) Apr 23, 2021

Show notes

God surprised me a few years ago with a concept I never learned about in church.

Okay, that's not entirely true. Of course I had heard about idolatry in church. But, I knew I didn't have to worry about breaking that commandment. We didn't have a single statue in our home!

When I learned what modern day idolatry actually looked like . . .Boy! Was I surprised. Here's how to recognize an idol in today's video:

Questions for reflection

How familiar are you with this definition of idolatry? Do you struggle with the pursuit of things that don't have eternal value?

Do you think body image or beauty idolatry could be a struggle for you? Why or why not?

What is it We're ALL Searching For? Spring Break Free Day 11 Apr 22, 2021

Show notes

In today's video I tell you about a girl from Orange County, California who went to a Tony Robbins' event. She tells Tony that she's unable to control her eating habits and she wants to do better. That's why she's at his meeting. (For context, let me assure you that a size four dress would have hung loosely on her petite figure.)

In today's video I talk about what it is we all long for. Why beauty and a "better" body are so tempting to chase . . .it's something we all have in common. Watch more here:

Questions for reflection

What were your initial thoughts when you watched today's video? Can you relate to the desire to have a makeover, weight loss, or other kind of physical transformation to change your life and give you what it is you're really looking for?

Buying the Biggest Loser Definition of Salvation: Day 10 Apr 21, 2021

Show notes

Have you watched the Biggest Loser? If not, it's still likely you know the premise. Contestants participate in a weight loss competition. The "weigh ins" combined with team voting determine who stays with the program and who gets the boot.

I was a success story JUNKIE. I loved before and after photos and journaled accounts of how women changed their bodies. Did they cut down on carbs or add more workouts? What kind of new habits did they start to inspire that weight loss? What secrets did they discover that no one else knows. This is what I wanted to know when I read these success stories. I craved the information because I wanted what they had . . . a new look.

Or, more honestly, maybe I wanted something more than that. Something deeper. Here's more in today's video:

Here are a few other posts I've written on this topic for additional reading.

Questions for reflection

Joy, peace, love, hope . . .did you ever (secretly) believe that any of these things could come from having a new (better, thinner, taller, shorter, smaller, whatever . . .) body? Did you ever believe the lie that more beauty or a better body is where salvation comes from?

Spend some time today thinking about the ways that you may have bought the lie of "temporary" salvation that comes from body change . . .or from any other idol you may fight in your life (some of us believe that our "salvation" will come from marriage, or children, or "better" children, or a "better marriage!) Pray that God will reveal to you the truth of genuine salvation and show you these idols.
