Redefining Greatness: Overcoming Jealousy, Comparison, and the Need to Win
Do you ever catch yourself comparing your life to someone else’s highlight reel, feeling defensive when corrected, or secretly competing with the people around you?
In this episode, Pastor Mike dives into Mark 9, where Jesus’ disciples were caught arguing about who among them was the greatest. The world tells us greatness comes from recognition, titles, and being on top—but Jesus flips that model entirely upside down.

In this episode, you’ll discover:
Why comparison and rivalry sneak into our closest relationships
4 honest questions to test the posture of your heart
What Mother Teresa and Jesus washing feet teach us about real impact
How to find peace and freedom by serving where nobody is watching
