Scrolling past your friend’s promotion, engagement, or new business and feeling happy for them and a little behind at the same time? You’re not a bad friend. You’re human.
This week, Christan and Tarrah get honest about how to stop comparing yourself to your friends and start learning from them.
Competition isn’t the problem. It’s a symptom. We get into what it’s pointing to, and how to turn comparison into inspiration.
In this episode:
Why you can be happy for a friend and sad for yourself at the same time
Jealousy vs. disappointment: which one is it?
Why “I should be further by now” keeps you stuck
Ask “how did they do it?” instead of “why them?”
Scarcity vs. abundance: when their win feels like your loss
Why God sometimes sends your answer through the friend you’re comparing yourself to
Celebrating others as a discipline, plus this week’s homework
Also this week: Uprooted, Lesson 2: Identifying Our Idols. Anything we love, trust, want, or obey more than God, and how to name it and turn from it.
New episodes every Friendship Friday. If this hit home, send it to the friend you’ve been meaning to celebrate, and leave us a rating or review.

Why perfectionism is ruining your relationships
Ever had a friend disappear after making a mistake... not because you rejected them, but because they rejected themselves?
This week, Christan and Tarrah dig into perfectionism and what it actually does to friendship: the fear of failure hiding behind "high standards," the shame that makes people pull away instead of repair, and why so many of us learned to perform for love instead of just receiving it.
We trace it back to the root (childhood affirmation, comparison, rejection) and bring it back to the truth that changes everything: God's love was never based on performance.
🌱 In this episode:
What perfectionism actually is (it's not just being organized)
Why perfectionists struggle to receive grace
The connection between performance and love
Jesus's baptism and affirmation before performance
Mental stretching: growing through discomfort, not around it

How to Handle Conflict Without Losing a Friend
Every friendship has conflict. The healthy ones just know how to fight fair. This week, Christan and Tarrah lay out the real rules of engagement for disagreements in friendship: how to tell the truth without hinting, why texting it out never works, how to take accountability without falling apart, and why "being right" is almost never the actual goal.
We introduce a brand-new segment: Uprooted, where Tarrah becomes your instructor for a deeper dive into the root causes behind the behaviors we can't seem to shake. Lesson one starts where it always should: at the tree.
In this episode:
Mental stretching: why growth requires discomfort
Friendship fight rules: tell the truth, don't recruit a jury, don't weaponize secrets
Why text messages are for information, not reconciliation
Taking accountability without losing your identity
NEW segment: Uprooted - uncovering the idols behind our bad fruit
