In this inspiring episode of Compared to Who?, Heather Creekmore tackles a powerful question: Are you focusing on growing or shrinking? As part of the Waiting for Weight Loss series and with Easter just around the corner, Heather invites listeners to rethink their priorities and reminds us that our purpose isn't centered around our body size or weight loss journey.

Key Topics Covered:


Why your main purpose in life is much bigger than your quest to lose weight


The Biblical perspective on self-worth, growth, and sanctification


What real spiritual, emotional, mental, and even physical growth looks like


The pitfalls of living a "shrinking life" focused solely on food, exercise, and body image


How to cultivate spiritual maturity and embrace a more fulfilling, God-centered life


Questions to reflect on: What are your true priorities? Are you spending your life waiting for weight loss?

Heather shares insights on learning to live for God's purpose, loving others, and experiencing true growth—not just in body, but in heart and soul. She encourages listeners to be honest with themselves about where their energy and money go, and to break free from the idolatry of body image.
