In this Flashback Favorites episode of A Woman’s Heart, we revisit a conversation with author and speaker Shannon Popkin, centered on her book Comparison Girl: Lessons from Jesus on Me-Free Living in a Measure-Up World. If you’ve ever struggled with comparing yourself to others—whether it’s your appearance, success, spiritual life, or even your relationships—this episode will resonate deeply. Shannon shares how comparison quietly creeps into our thoughts and relationships, and how Jesus offers a better way: live by “pouring out” instead of “measuring up”. Shannon Popkin is a wife and mom, author, speaker and podcaster. Her passion is to invite people to open their Bible, drink deeply of the Story, and live like it’s true. She and her husband enjoy having their three adult children close by while two adorable Shih Tzu’s still live with them. Key quote from Shannon: “Jesus invites us to pour ourselves out—not to measure ourselves against each other. That’s where true freedom is found.” To connect with Shannon: https://www.shannonpopkin.com/comparison-girl/ For the freebies that were mentioned go to: https://www.subscribepage.com/comparisongirl_2

In this Flashback Favorites episode, we revisit one of my favorite conversations with author and Bible teacher Erica Wiggenhorn, centered around her powerful book Letting God Be Enough: Why Striving Keeps You Stuck and How Surrender Sets You Free. We talk about the deep struggles so many of us face—fear, insecurity, imposter syndrome, and that constant feeling of not being enough. Erica draws wisdom from the life of Moses, who dealt with many of the same doubts. And yet, God used him powerfully—not because Moses was perfect, but because he was willing to surrender. 💬 “The reality is that we often face situations in life where by ourselves we are not enough. We need a big God.” 💬 “Our lack is not something we need to worry over, instead it is something we can rejoice over.” 💬 “All of our flaws are an opportunity for God to step in and do His greatest work.” A national speaker with Aspire Women’s Events, Erica Wiggenhorn also speaks at women’s retreats, large conferences or her own kitchen table. Erica longs to bring Scriptural Truth and see lives transformed. Erica also serves on the Proverbs 31 Ministries writing team. An award-winning author with Moody Publishers, she wants people to discover delight in God’s Word as they become equipped with tools to read it with confidence. You can also find her almost every day on Instagram where she shares Phoenix life with her best friend Jonathan, and their four children– two of which are human and the others furry and adorable. 📚 Learn more about Erica and her book: Letting God Be Enough – Available wherever books are sold https://ericawiggenhorn.com/home/ .
