What is God's vision for our relationships with other women in our lives? Jenn stops by to address the lies of inadequacy and scarcity that we can so easily believe in our interpersonal connections. Listen for some perspective on how our postures can shift from comparison and competition to solidarity and life-giving support in our communities.

Episode Notes
1 Peter 5:8 “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.”
It’s so easy for us to make other women the enemy.
Unhealthy comparison isn’t even the root of the issue in this spiritual battle … it’s an identity issue.
“Our view of God- who he is and who says WE are- makes all the difference in how we interact with those around us.”
"Lie of Inadequacy"
“Rejection is a pain you can actually feel in your body because social pain and physical pain activate the brain in the same places…”
Q: How can we nurture more empathy and compassion that we may have labeled as such especially if they have inflicted wounds?
“Embrace the ongoing process”
Romans 5:3-5 TPT
“Even in times of trouble we have a joyful confidence, knowing that our pressures will develop in us patient endurance. 4And patient endurance will refine our character, and proven character leads us back to hope. 5And this hope is not a disappointing fantasy, because we can now experience the endless love of God cascading into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who lives in us!”
