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.

  • Is That Voice Condemnation or Conviction? Understanding the Difference on Your Weight Loss Journey WfW Ep 18
    Mar 30 2026

    Heather Creekmore dives deep into the commonly misunderstood difference between condemnation and conviction—especially when it comes to food, eating habits, and our journeys around body image and weight loss. Drawing from her 40-Day Body Image Workbook, Heather Creekmore unpacks why so many of us feel trapped in shame and guilt over our choices and how to discern whether the voices in our heads are actually leading us closer to God or away from Him.

    Using relatable stories (like Girl Scout cookie season temptations!) and biblical truth, Heather Creekmore explains how condemnation shames and separates us, while conviction gently guides and restores hope. She explores how diet culture often tricks us into believing that shame can help us "shape up," when in fact, Scripture says there’s no condemnation for those in Christ.

    You’ll also hear practical ways to tune into the Holy Spirit’s conviction instead of the enemy’s lies, and why making Satan your accountability partner is never the right choice. If you’re tired of negative self-talk and need to feel the difference between healthy conviction and harmful condemnation, this episode is for you!

  • Getting Out of Your Head: Overcoming Swirling Negative Thoughts or Obsession Waiting for Weight Loss Ep 16
    Mar 25 2026

    In this episode, Heather Creekmore continues the “Waiting for Weight Loss” series and dives deep into the challenge of getting out of your own head when it comes to body image struggles. Heather Creekmore shares a real, recent experience from her 20th wedding anniversary trip, revealing how old patterns of comparison, insecurity, and the “body image contest” can still crop up—even after years of working through these issues.

    What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

    • A personal story of sitting by the pool and fighting the urge to compare and compete with other women.

    • The realization that so much of our body image struggle happens in our minds, not just in our bodies.

    • Encouragement to recognize and address underlying heart issues and how idolatry of body image can take hold.

    • The importance of renewing your mind and aligning your thoughts with what God says about you—not repeating old, false narratives.

    • Practical advice on examining your thought life, identifying lies, and experiencing true freedom in your relationship with your body.

    Key Takeaways:

    • You’re not alone if you struggle with comparison and feeling measured against others—it’s a common experience.

    • Healing and lasting freedom come from dealing with the roots in your heart and mind, not just changing your appearance.

    • Most of the hurtful thoughts you have about your body may not even be true—and you don’t have to keep believing them.

    • Real transformation happens in community, and it’s okay (even necessary!) to get help, find support, and renew your thinking.
